FOURIER TRANSFORM SOLUTIONS FOR NONLINEAR THERMAL BOUNDARY LAYER FLOWS USING FUZZY NUMERICAL METHODS
Authors: T N Vasanthakumari
Published: January 2025

It is introduced an innovative method for modeling nonlinear flows with thermal boundary layer by combining Fourier transforms and fuzzy numerical methods. The nonlinear energy and momentum equations are transformed into spectral domain using Fourier transform, while fuzziness in parameters like slip velocity and thermal diffusivity are treated with fuzzy logic. The proposed framework can well capture the nonlinear effect in uncertain environments, and does a better job than the classical deterministic model in term of accuracy and computational efficiency. Relevance to real applications (such as aerodynamics, microfluidics, thermal engineering, etc.) is demonstrated with experiments validating the model. These findings highlight the application of these hybrid methodology toward enhancing energy systems, material processes, and other thermal applications. Future work entails generalizing the method to turbulent flows, sophisticated fuzzy models, and multi-disciplinary applications.
CHANGING WORLD ORDER AND THE EMERGING ECONOMIES
Authors: Dahiya Khushbu , Kumar Pardeep
Published: January 2025

The global order is undergoing a transformative shift as emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, and South Africa redefine global power dynamics. These nations, once marginal in global decision-making, are now reshaping international relations through sustained economic growth, technological innovation, and demographic advantages. Their growing influence is evident in platforms like BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which advocate for inclusive governance and challenge Western-dominated institutions. The rise of these economies reflects a broader transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world, driven by globalization and strategic initiatives like China’s Belt and Road Initiative and India’s Act East Policy. While their ascent offers opportunities to address global inequalities and enhance South-South cooperation, it also brings challenges such as internal disparities, environmental pressures, and external geopolitical rivalries. The evolving responses of established powers, including strategic partnerships and attempts at containment, underscore the contested nature of this transition. Emerging economies are central to shaping a more balanced and cooperative global order, offering both opportunities and complexities in navigating the realities of the 21st century.
FAIR PLAY: UNDERSTANDING DOPING PREVENTION AND DETECTION IN SPORTS
Authors: Gopu Shashikanth
Published: January 2025

Doping in sports, defined as the use of prohibited substances or methods to enhance athletic performance, has long been a controversial issue that undermines the integrity of competitive sports. This research explores the mechanisms of doping prevention and detection, highlighting both the advances in technology and the challenges involved in combating doping practices. With a focus on global anti-doping efforts, this study examines the role of organizations like the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the methods used to detect banned substances, such as blood and urine tests, genetic profiling, and emerging technologies. The research also delves into preventative strategies, including education, anti-doping policies, and the importance of athlete awareness. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and case studies, the study analyzes the effectiveness of current doping prevention programs and detection systems in both professional and amateur sports. Results show that while detection technologies are advancing, there are still significant gaps in both prevention and enforcement, allowing some athletes to circumvent the system. The research concludes by recommending improvements in education, policy, and technological advancements to strengthen doping prevention and detection. Ultimately, it calls for a more unified global approach to ensure fair play in sports and protect the health and safety of athletes.

The Sun Evaporates Water to Cool the Earth for Life to Flourish
Authors: Lightfoot H. Douglas , Ratzer Gerald
Published: January 2025

This study analyzes the role of water vapor in keeping the Earth cool and the role of the Sun in providing food and oxygen. The Sun sends enormous amounts of energy daily to the Earth—about one-half of the world's annual energy consumption. This energy heats the surface, evaporates water, and creates a rising thermal column of warm, moist air. When the air reaches an altitude where the dew point causes the evaporated water to condense, the heat released eventually escapes to space as infrared radiation. Enough heat is released to space to maintain the Earth’s temperature suitable for current life forms. The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is adequate for the photosynthesis process to provide food and oxygen for the life forms. The water cycle shows how the system works. Storms such as thunderstorms and hurricanes are powerful and essential to the water cycle. They provide most heat removal. No component of the Earth’s atmosphere other than water vapor has a significant cooling effect. A tiny but essential part of the Sun’s energy powers photosynthesis, providing oxygen and food at the bottom of the food chain on land and in the sea.

Sistema de tomografía por impedancia eléctrica como prueba de función pulmonar ambulatoria.
Authors:   , Alvarado Arriagada Fabian
Published: January 2025

El desarrollo tecnológico ha facilitado la creación de nuevas técnicas y ampliado el campo de sus aplicaciones en el área médica. La constante mejora de los sistemas sanitarios afecta directamente la calidad de vida de las personas.
La tomografía por impedancia eléctrica (EIT) es una técnica de imagenología médica que ha tenido importantes avances en las últimas décadas. Actualmente se postula como una herramienta útil para el estudio de la fisiología del cuerpo humano y su aplicación en la medicina.
LA EIT consiste en la generación de imágenes del tórax, describiendo su impedancia, es decir, cuánto se opone al flujo de una corriente eléctrica. Con esta técnica es posible obtener información sobre la respiración de las personas, ya que los cambios en los tejidos genera un cambio en la impedancia eléctrica.
En esta tesis se presenta el desarrollo de un sistema EIT portable para el monitoreo respiratorio, detallando la implementación del hardware y software. Posteriormente se realizaron pruebas de validación con elementos eléctricos pasivos y sujetos voluntarios.
El análisis de los datos mostró que existe una alta correlación entre las señales e imágenes obtenidas del sistema y la señal de volumen de un flujómetro. A partir de estos datos se obtuvo una frecuencia respiratoria con un coeficiente de correlación del 97 % y una predicción de volumen respiratorio con un coeficiente de correlación del 96 %. La detección de respiraciones alcanzó un una sensibilidad del 100 % y precisión del 99.78 %.
Los resultados más importantes fueron la validación técnica del dispositivo, que opera dentro de los rangos seguros para su uso en personas, y la adquisición de señales de respiración. Entre los desafíos se presentaron la alta variabilidad entre sujetos, y la necesidad de una calibración personalizada en cada caso.
El desarrollo de este tipo de sistemas contribuye a la traslación de la investigación e ingeniería aplicada en innovaciones y productos funcionales. En este caso particular, aplicado a la salud y bien- estar de la población, con un dispositivo de uso ambulatorio para el control y prevención de afecciones respiratorias.

Authors: Triyanto Muchamad , Saputra Bambang Eka , Hafiz Abdul , Zidni Zidni , Suhupawati Suhupawati
Published: January 2025

This study aims to reveal the crucial role of the Yogyakarta Branch of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) during the Second War of Independence, particularly in the 1948-1949 period when Yogyakarta became one of the centers of battle and Dutch military aggression. This research is highly relevant, considering that during this period, the Indonesian nation was at the height of its struggle to defend its independence, which had been proclaimed on August 17, 1945. Specifically, the second military aggression launched by the Dutch on December 19, 1948, caused widespread chaos in Yogyakarta, affecting both the Indonesian National Army (TNI) and civilians. Using historical research methods, which include the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, this study reveals the significant contribution of PMI in its humanitarian mission during the conflict. The Yogyakarta Branch of PMI played a vital role in providing medical aid, treating wounded victims, and organizing public kitchens for fighters and civilians affected by the war. PMI not only assisted the TNI on the battlefield but also supported civilians who became victims of Dutch attacks. Through its efforts, PMI contributed to defending Indonesia’s independence by carrying out critical humanitarian activities during the war, making them an integral part of the nation's struggle.
Extremal (n,m)-graphs with respect to VDB topological indices
Authors:   School of Mathematical Sciences, South China Normal University, Guangzhou, P. R. China, Liu Hechao
Published: January 2025

The vertex-degree based (VDB) topological index (or graphical function-index) \(TI_{f}(G)\) of \(G\) with edge-weight function \(f(x,y)\) was defined as \(TI_{f}(G)=\sum\limits_{uv\in E(G)}f(d(u),d(v))\), where \(d(u)\) is the degree of vertex \(u\) in \(G\). In this paper, we use a unified way to determine the extremal values of VDB indices of connected \((n,m)\)-graphs. When \(f(x,y)\) satisfies some special properties, we determine the connected \((n,m)\)-graphs with maximum (or minimum) \(TI_{f}(G)\) is the almost regular graphs. Our results generalize the results of paper [Aashtab, A., Akbari, S., Madadinia, S., Noei, M., \& Salehi, F. (2022) On the graphs with minimum Sombor index. MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem., {88}, 553-559].
On 2-noncrossing increasing trees
Authors:   Department of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Maseno University, Maseno, Kenya., Okoth Isaac Owino
Published: January 2025

A 2-noncrossing tree is a rooted tree drawn in the plane with its vertices (colored black or white) on the boundary of a circle such that the edges are line segments that do not intersect inside the circle and there is no black-black ascent in any path from the root. A rooted tree is said to be increasing if the labels of the vertices are increasing as one moves away from the root. In this paper, we use generating functions and bijections to enumerate 2-noncrossing increasing trees by the number of blacks vertices and by root degree. Bijections with noncrossing trees, ternary trees, 2-plane trees, certain Dyck paths, and certain restricted lattice paths are established.
A note on the characterization of claw-free and paw-free graphs
Authors:   Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics IB74, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa, Mafuta Phillip , Mushanyu Josiah ,   Department of Mathematics and Computational Sciences, University of Zimbabwe, Harare, Zimbabwe,   Department of Computing, Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, University of Namibia, Windhoek, Namibia
Published: January 2025

A number of results on claw-free, paw-free graphs have been presented in the literature. Although the proofs of such results are elegant, sound and valid, it has gone unnoticed that all the results about claw-free, paw-free graphs in the literature are a consequence of a result by Olariu [1]. The note, apart from covering the aforementioned gap, also provides an alternate proof to a result by Faudree and Gould found in [2] in that, an unnoticed consequence resulted in the characterization of claw-free, paw-free graphs.

A bijective mapping \(\varsigma\) assigns each vertex of a graph \(G\) a unique positive integer from 1 to \(|V(G)|\), with edge weights defined as the sum of the values at its endpoints. The mapping ensures that no two adjacent edges at a common vertex have the same weight, and each \(k\)-color class is connected to every other \(k-1\) color class. A graph \(G\) possesses \(b\)-color local edge antimagic coloring if it satisfies the aforementioned criteria and it corresponds to a maximum graph coloring. This paper extensively studies the bounds, non-existence, and results of b-color local edge antimagic coloring in fundamental graph structures.

In this paper, we introduce a new resolvability parameter named as the local edge partition dimension \((LEPD)\) of graphs. The local edge partition dimension \((LEPD)\) makes a specialty of partitioning the vertex set of a graph into awesome instructions based totally on localized resolving properties. Our findings offer a fresh angle on graph resolvability, offering capability insights for optimizing network overall performance and structural analysis. Let \(G=(V, E)\) be a connected graph with vertex set \(V\) and edge set \(E\). A partition set \({R}_{p}=\{{R}_{p1},{R}_{p2},{R}_{p3}\dots,{R}_{pn}\}\) contain subsets of vertices of \(G\). If for every pair of adjacent edges \(p\) and \(q\) in \(G\), then \(d(p,{R}_{p})\neq d(q,{R}_{p})\) and if \(p\) and \(q\) are non-adjacent then not necessary \(d(p,{R}_{p})\neq d(q,{R}_{p})\) then \({R}_{p}\) is called a local edge resolving partition set and minimum cardinality of such set is called local edge partition dimension. We discussed local metric, local edge metric, metric, edge metric dimension, local partition, local edge partition, partition dimension, and edge partition dimension of the Petersen graph.
Research note: Ruv\(\acute{e}\) numbers of a graph
Authors:   Independent Mathematics Researcher, City of Tshwane, South Africa Visiting Faculty at CHRIST (Deemed to be a University), Bangalore, India., Kok Johan
Published: January 2025

A finite, connected simple graph \(G\) is a geodetic graph if and only if for each pair of vertices \(v_i, v_j\) there exists a unique distance path (or unique shortest \(v_iv_j\)-path). The insertion of vertices in an edge or edges of a non-geodetic graph \(G\) to, if possible, obtain a resultant geodetic graph is called geodetication of the graph \(G\). The paper introduces two new graph parameters generally called the Ruv\(\acute{e}\) numbers of a graph. The Ruv\(\acute{e}\) numbers of \(G\) are denoted by \(\rho_1(G)\) and \(\rho_2(G)\) respectively, and \(\rho_1(G) = \rho_2(G) = 0\) if and only if \(G\) is geodetic. Furthermore, for some graphs the parameter, \(\rho_1(G) \to \infty\). The latter graphs \(G\) do not permit geodetication in respect of \(\rho_1(G)\). It is evident that geodetication presents various challenging minimization problems. The core field of application will be, restricting graphs to distance path uniqueness. Intuitive applications are foreseen in military science, IT anti-hacking coding and predictive flow through networks.

Published: January 2025

Several concerns concerning the acquisition of the Arabic language have been the subject of substantial discussion, one of which is the requirement to take into account a number of different elements. In order to address this issue, the current study conducted a qualitative investigation of the difficulties that primary school children face when attempting to learn Arabic, as well as the instructional methods that are utilised by primary school teachers. Interviews with a semi-structured format were carried out with 43 primary school teachers in Peninsular Malaysia who were selected through a purposeful sampling process. This guaranteeing a broad representation of experiences was achieved. Complex script, root word system, vowels, homographs, gender and quantity, and cultural context were identified as the six primary obstacles that were discovered from the findings that were gathered. In addition, eight different instructional methods were identified, including the utilisation of visual aids, learning environments that provide contextual information, iterative repetition, interactive game-based learning, targeted vocabulary exercises, narrative techniques, collaborative learning models, and the incorporation of technology. The findings of this study showed the significance of adopting a variety of flexible teaching methodologies in order to effectively cope with the complexity of language acquisition, particularly the Arabic language.

Authors: Serikkazykyzy Akbota , Avakova Raushangul , Ibraimova Zhibek , Mashinbayeva Gulnaz , Kozhabekova Raikhan , Zhiyembay Bibigul , Nurmakhanova Marzhan
Published: January 2025

The Armeno-Kipchak script serves as a vital medium for preserving and transmitting medieval Eurasia's cultural and historical heritage. This unique script provides insights into linguistic interactions and reflects the literature, culture, language, lifestyle, and religious practices of Armenians who spoke Kipchak. This study explores the linguistic and cultural interactions between the Turkic and Armeno-Kipchak languages in the medieval Eurasian context. The research identifies the key factors that shaped lexical borrowing and cultural assimilation by analyzing the historical, cultural, and social contexts of these interactions. Through contextual analysis, the study explores how historical events, trade, migrations, and religious dynamics influenced linguistic and cultural exchanges. It underscores the importance of investigating these interactions to reconstruct the evolution of language and to gain a comprehensive understanding of the intricate socio-linguistic relationships that characterized medieval Eurasia. By tracing the pathways of cultural and linguistic influences, this research contributes to broader historical and cultural studies, shedding light on the interconnectedness of the Turkic and Armeno-Kipchak linguistic traditions within their shared historical milieu. This finding emphasizes the significance of understanding the dynamic interplay of languages and cultures in shaping the historical narrative of Eurasian societies. It serves as a foundational step toward further exploration of medieval language development and cultural transformations.
On Adjectival Agreement in Standard Arabic
Authors: Alharbi Bader Yousef
Published: January 2025

In the language of Standard Arabic, the attributive adjective, which typically occurs postnominally, must fully agree with its modified noun in four morphological features: gender, number, case, and (in)definiteness features. Several diverse attempts have been provided in the literature to account for this type of agreement in Standard Arabic, most of which are either inadequate or more complicated. Therefore, the main aim of this theoretical study is to provide an alternative simple analysis for this type of full agreement in Standard Arabic. By using a single mechanism, specifically the Feature Assignment Rule which indicates that once a category X merges with a category Y, the grammatical features of the category X are immediately copied onto the category Y and are then morphologically realized on all lexical items within the category Y, the full agreement between the Standard Arabic attributive adjective and its modified noun in the four morphological features can be straightforwardly accounted for. More specifically, when the noun phrase (NP) merges with its modifying adjective (AP), the grammatical features of the NP are immediately copied onto the AP and then realized on the adjective head located within the AP. Unlike the previous analyses, the proposed analysis in the current study has the merit of being both simpler and more economical.
From Pixels to Prose: Teachers’ Views on the Power of Digital Imagery in Early Language Development
Authors: AlAli Rommel , Al-Barakat Ali , Bataineh Ruba Fahmi , Alqatawna Mohammad
Published: January 2025

This study examined how digital imagery contributes to young learners’ language development from the perspective of 856 primary-stage teachers in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) and Amman (Jordan). The data were collected using a carefully designed and validated survey questionnaire developed by the researchers. The findings revealed that digital imagery significantly supports language development in areas such as vocabulary building, listening comprehension, and reading comprehension. The respondents noted that digital imagery helps young learners make word-meaning associations, which, in turn, facilitates the overall language learning process. Interactive images were also found to promote engagement and motivation among learners through sparking curiosity, fostering creativity, and encouraging active participation in language-related activities. Interestingly, despite differences in the academic qualifications and years of teaching experience among the respondents, reports of the positive effect of digital imagery were nearly unanimous. These findings emphasize the need for both well-thought out integration of digital imagery into early grades language curricula to maximize its benefits. Moreover, they highlight the need for ongoing professional development and training programs to help teachers effectively utilize these tools. By creating dynamic, image-rich learning environments, teachers can enrich young learners’ experiences and allow them opportunities for augmented language development. In light of these findings, the researchers call for further research to explore the ways teachers apply digital imagery across diverse cultural and educational contexts, as well as the challenges they face. Continuous professional support and innovative strategies are recommended to fully harness the transformative potential of digital imagery in the early-grade language classroom.
A Dosimetric comparison between VMAT And IMRT planning techniques for head and neck cancers: A prospective observational study
Authors: Raghubansh Kumar  , Awadhesh Prasad
Published: January 2025

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a disease that is heterogeneous in nature, encompassing a diverse array of tumors that originate in the mandible, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and salivary glands. Globally, head and neck malignancies are the sixth most prevalent neoplasm. Approximately 60% of patients present with locally or regionally advanced disease, typically requiring combined modality therapy that includes surgery, radiotherapy, and either chemotherapy or no chemotherapy. Chemoradiotherapy is the established standard of care for patients with inoperable disease or patients for whom surgery would result in unacceptable morbidity. Current radiation techniques limit the dose due to both acute and late toxicities, as well as the complex anatomy of the head and neck region. There is a need for highly conformal techniques that reduce the dose to organs at risk while ensuring adequate target coverage.

Der Beitrag gibt Einblicke in zwei für diesen Artikel geführte narrative Interviews zu Antisemitismuserfahrungen in institutionellen Kontexten und fragt nach der Bedeutung der Sensibilisierung für Antisemitismus in psychologischen und psychotherapeutischen Handlungsfeldern.
»Frau, Leben, Freiheit«
Authors: Ghaffari Nasim
Published: January 2025

Die Revolutionsbewegung unter dem Motto »زن، زندﮔﯽ، آزادی«: »Frau, Leben, Freiheit« hat einen bedeutenden kulturellen Wandel in der iranischen Gesellschaft sowie in der gesamten nahöstlichen Region herbeigeführt. Diese lebendige anti-diskriminierende Revolutionsbewegung, die die breite Bevölkerung einbezogen hat, ist aus der feministischen Bewegung hervorgegangen. Die Autorin beschreibt die Bewegung als das Ergebnis von transgenerationalen Psychodynamiken, einschließlich Traumata, narzisstischer Identifikationen und unbewusster Phantasien. Sie differenziert drei Generationen von Iraner:innen, indem sie sie in ihren sozialen Kontexten und zeitlichen Gegebenheiten entlang der Geschichte des Iran darstellt. Sie positioniert die Transformationsarbeit (Bion, 1965) als das zentrale Element der anhaltenden Revolutionsbewegung, das den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs über die totalitäre Diktatur vorantreibt.
Конструктивистский взгляд на глобальный мир
Authors: Кочетков Владимир Викторович
Published: January 2025

Глобализация не только изменила современные международные отношения, но и привнесла существенные коррективы в их теоретическое осмысление. На смену позитивистским теориям, безраздельно господствовавшим в интерпретации международных отношений на всем протяжении XX в., в новом столетии все увереннее приходит постпозитивизм. Начало постпозитивистским теориям было положено конструктивизмом, который является промежуточной теорией и заимствует черты обоих этих направлений. В статье описаны возникновение и развитие конструктивизма и сформулированы его основные положения. Нашли отражение взгляды основных представителей конструктивизма – Н. Онуфа, Ф. Кратохвила и А. Вендта. Рассматриваются ключевые понятия международных отношений, такие как национальные интересы и международная безопасность, в контексте конструктивизма.

Placing athlete
rights at the heart of good governance in sport
Authors: Seltmann Maximilian , Fiege Lorenz
Published: January 2025

“Good governance” and “athlete rights” are two central ideas in today’s governance of sport. A multitude of actors from different horizontal and vertical governance levels shape the discourse surrounding these ideas. Following Vivien Schmidt’s seminal work on discursive institutionalism, we analyse the ideational power of the two ideas and the characteristics of their underlying discourses within the context of international sport governance. Our analysis highlights that several similarities between the ideas and their related discourses prevail. Yet, the two discourses exist, for most parts, separately with no systematic conceptual connection between the two ideas. Informed by an analysis of academic literature and policy documents within and beyond the area of sport governance, we argue that this is a conceptual shortcoming, which fails to capitalise on the power resting in each idea and, more importantly, in their combination. We suggest that a systematic merger of the two discourses in terms of the adoption of a rights-based approach to good governance may not only democratise the good governance discourse and better justify its widespread normative notion, but that it may also enhance the ideational power of athlete rights and, in practice, become a key to rights implementation for the benefit of athletes.Ključne riječi
The
Maccabiah as a new sports diplomacy instrument
Authors: Solomon Sophia , Pardo Sharon , Zahavi Hila
Published: January 2025

This article examines the Maccabiah Games as a unique case study of new sports diplomacy, analyzing how this non-state sporting event functions as a significant soft power resource for Israel, while operating largely independently of state control and financing. Through analysis of historical documents, legislative frameworks, and policy decisions, we investigate the complex relationship between the Israeli state and the Maccabiah Games, which has evolved since its inception in 1932. We argue that while the Games serve as Israel’s primary sporting diplomatic vehicle and enhance its international image, they operate primarily through private and civic networks rather than state direction or consistent financial support. This creates an interesting paradox: the Games’ independence from state control allows the sports community to maintain autonomy in pursuing its goals, yet this same independence results in minimal state investment, shifting the financial burden onto participants and the Jewish sports community. Despite the Games’ significance in promoting Jewish immigration and strengthening ties with the diaspora, Israel lacks a coherent legal framework or consistent funding mechanism for this quadrennial Olympic competition. While state officials regularly participate in ceremonial aspects and leverage the Games for public diplomacy, concrete institutional support remains limited. This situation reflects both Israel’s broader underinvestment in sports infrastructure and its tendency to prioritize hard power over soft power resources. The findings contribute to the theoretical understanding of new sports diplomacy by demonstrating how non-state actors can successfully operate major international sporting events that serve national diplomatic purposes, even without substantial state support. The Maccabiah case illustrates the evolving nature of sports diplomacy, where traditional state-centered approaches are increasingly complemented or replaced by more independent, community-driven initiatives that nonetheless advance national soft power objectives.
Distribution and
analysis of the autonomy of sports in the Egyptian legal system
Authors: Hussein Ahmed Saad Mohamed
Published: January 2025

This paper presents a descriptive and analytical examination of the elements of sports independence in the Egyptian legal system. It includes the texts of legal articles that address the elements of sports independence, such as the competence of general assemblies of sports bodies to set their regulations, texts ensuring non-interference of government agencies in the affairs of sports bodies (except for what relates to governance, financial corruption, and crimes), and texts resorting to sports arbitration rather than the state judiciary. Furthermore, the paper also focuses on articles of the unified financial regulations that were issued to implement the elements of sports bodies’ governance in the absence of these elements in sports law. The analysis includes rulings of various judicial bodies in the Egyptian system by presenting landmark decisions in selected cases. The analysis of rulings issued by the Egyptian State Council (Administrative Judiciary), the Court of Appeal, and the Court of Cassation, as well as the rulings of the Egyptian Supreme Constitutional Court is introduced. It comprises a ruling on the unconstitutionality of part of Article 69 of the Sports Law related to the Egyptian Olympic Committee setting the regulatory frameworks for the Egyptian Sports Settlement and Arbitration Center, leading to the fall of the center’s regulatory frameworks. Additionally, the ruling of the Egyptian Supreme Constitutional Court on a jurisdictional conflict is discussed including the previous ruling on the unconstitutionality of the text (Article 69) deeming the Sports Arbitration Center non-existent and calling for a legislative amendment to resolve the matter.
Razvoj transparentnosti u javnom i privatnom (ugovornom) pravu
Authors: Vukadinović Slobodan , Jovičić Katarina
Published: January 2025

U radu se pokazuje da postupnom evolucijom i prijenosom iz javnog u privatno pravo, a posebno u kontekstu ugovornog potrošačkog prava, transparentnost od političko-deklarativne preporuke, preko zahtjeva danas postaje široko prihvaćeni, uobičajeni, čime i očekivani standard. Iako još uvijek nije formulirana ni zakonom određena kao načelo, transparentnost je de facto, a osobito kroz presude Suda Europske unije (koje svjedoče da se transparentnost ne može svesti samo na razumljivost u gramatičkom i formalnom smislu, već se mora promatrati i njezin temeljni smisao), postala jedno od ključnih načela, osobito i neizostavno u situacijama u kojima se ugovor sklapa potpisivanjem ugovornog formulara koji je unaprijed pripremila jedna strana. Navedeno znači da se trenutačno može pouzdano reći da je transparentnost ugovora i ugovornih odredbi jedno od bitnih načela ili zahtjeva potrošačkog prava. Kako u suvremenom pravu dolazi do značajnog utjecaja potrošačkog (ugovornog) prava na (opće) ugovorno pravo, tako svjedočimo vremenu u kojem transparentnost postupno, ali sigurno i s razlogom postaje jedno od načela suvremenog (općeg) ugovornog prava.
Die Immanenzebene des Schreibens. Aichinger-Lektüren. Einleitung
Authors: Schäfer Armin , Thums Barbara
Published: January 2025

Die Einleitung stellt das Konzept einer „Immanenzebene“ (Gilles Deleuze und Félix Guattari) des Schreibens vor, das Lektüren ausgewählter Texte der österreichischen Autorin Ilse Aichinger (1921–2016) anleiten kann. Aichingers Texte sind in der Erfahrung verankert, der nationalsozialistischen Vernichtung entronnen zu sein. Zwar steht die Autorin im Bann der Erinnerung, wenn auch die Erinnerung selbst ihr ebenso wenig wie das Schreiben verfügbar ist. Die Immanenzebene des Schreibens lenkt das Augenmerk auf das Verhältnis von einerseits Schreibanlässen, Schreibmaterialien und Schreibprozessen und andererseits Themen, literarischen Verfahren und Formbildungen, um das Verhältnis von Erfahrung und Schreibweisen bei Aichinger zu beschreiben.
Welt erzählen. Ilse Aichingers Landschaften und Wetterlagen der Existenz
Authors: Thums Barbara
Published: January 2025

Der Beitrag versteht die Sentenz „Die Welt ist aus dem Stoff, der Betrachtung verlangt“ aus dem Gedicht „Winterantwort“ als Erkenntnismodell für eine Aichingers Texte leitende Auffassung von Welt, die über die Immanenzebene des Schreibens zu erschließen ist. Hierfür erläutert er die politischen, geo- und topopoetischen Dimensionen von ‚Welt erzählen‘ zunächst in begriffsgeschichtlicher Perspektive und macht deutlich, inwiefern sich Ilse Aichingers Haltung zur Welt, zur eigenen Existenz und zur Sprache aus frühen Kindheitserfahrungen ableitet. Ausgehend davon arbeitet er in einer detaillierten Analyse von „Landschaften und Wetterlagen der Existenz“ aus dem Band Subtexte die Spezifik von Aichingers ‚Welt erzählen‘ in ihrer Verschränkung praxeologischer und thematisch-semantischer Dimensionen des Schreibens heraus. Er zeigt, dass es keine einfache Repräsentation oder Herstellung einer vor der Literatur liegenden ‚Welt‘ in die ‚diegetische Welt‘ eines Textes ist, sondern ein komplexes Gefüge, in dem geographisch und lokal sowie historisch situierbare mit stimmungshaft erlebten und erinnerten, aber auch mit über Mythen und Märchen vermittelten literarischen Landschaften und Orten verflochten sind. ‚Welt erzählen‘, so wird im Rekurs auf die Darstellungsverfahren dieses kurzen Textes, der, Namen und Orte, Formzitate und Anklänge unterschiedlicher Prosagattungen von Absatz zu Absatz wiederaufnehmend, ineinander übersetzend und dabei einen Kosmos intra- und intertextueller Bezüge erstellend, eine Vielfalt an Perspektiven, Formen, Genres und Gattungen produktiv macht. Modellhaft wird so die doppelte Bestimmung herausgearbeitet, die das Schreiben für Aichinger leistet: Es ermöglicht eine klare Benennung jener Aspekte an Landschaften und Orten, an denen die Reinigungsprozesse des ‚Welt-Machens‘ kenntlich werden, und es ermöglicht eine Distanznahme gegenüber den Zumutungen der Existenz, die hingenommen und ausgehalten werden müssen.
Postkoloniale Aporien des Übersetzens. Von Westafrika zur jüdischen Geschichtserfahrung mit Ilse Aichingers Die Schwestern Jouet
Authors: Gellai Szilvia
Published: January 2025

Dem poetologischen Verfahren des Übersetzens kommt in Aichingers Schreiben ein zentraler Stellenwert zu. Der Beitrag interessiert sich für die Frage, auf welche Art und Weise Übersetzen als eine prägnante Metapher des Frühwerks bis zum Ende der 1960er Jahre in die Struktur der Texte abwandert. Argumentiert wird dafür, dass das Übersetzen durch die Verknüpfung zweier Formationen zur Struktur wird: Übersetzen fungiert als Scharnierstück zwischen einer metamorphotischen Leseweise und einer definierenden Schreibweise. Diskutiert werden diese Formationen anhand eines Hörspiels und eines Prosastücks, die 1969 unter demselben Titel erschienen sind: Die Schwestern Jouet. Beide stehen im engen Zusammenhang mit einer Reise Aichingers in den Senegal 1966. Die Rekonstruktion dieser Reise verleiht der Interpretation eine postkoloniale Dimension und weist die Jouet-Texte als übersetzerische Projekte aus. Nicht nur setzte die Autorin auf einen anderen Kontinent über, sondern sie unterzog nach ihrer Rückkehr Senegals koloniale Geschichte einer Übersetzung. Aichingers metamorphotische Lektüre liest Fragmente dieser Geschichte von Gräbern, Denkmälern und Geschichtsbüchern auf und setzt sie in der höchst verdichteten Schreibweise des Definierens mit denen der jüdischen Diaspora-Erfahrung in Bezug. Das Aporetische dieser Mission liegt in der Verquickung von Sprache und Gewalt, die das Andere unterwirft, ausschließt oder zum Verschwinden bringt, sodass das Übersetzen letztlich an der Alterität Westafrikas scheitert.
Pre-Adoption Experiences and Attachment Disorders in Portuguese Adopted Children

Background According to the DSM-5, attachment disorders can be categorized as two distinct types: Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED). The literature has suggested that children who have experienced emotional and social care deprivation tend to show signs of these disorders. Thus, attachment is a central topic in adopted children. Objective The present study aims to explore the relationships between pre-adoption experiences and attachment disorders of adopted Portuguese children. Method Seventy-eight adoptive parents (75.6% mothers) of children aged 3 to 11 (59% boys), who had been adopted on average for 4.3 years, participated in this study. RAD and DSED symptoms were assessed with the translated and adapted Portuguese version of the Early TRAuma-Related Disorders Questionnaire (ETRADQ; Monette et al., 2020). Results Results revealed significant correlations between the presence of RAD symptoms and multiple previous care placement moves, later separation from the birth family, exposure to deprivation experiences, exposure to more risk factors in the birth family, being adopted by a single parent, and higher child’s age at adoption placement (all p < .05). No pre-adoption and adoption experiences were significantly correlated with DSED (all p > .05). Care placement moves was a significant predictor of signs of RAD (p < .001). Conclusions These findings highlight the role of pre-adoption experiences in the attachment difficulties of adopted children and emphasize the importance of early identification and prompt intervention to reduce the risk of psychopathology.Keywords: reactive attachment disorder, disinhibited social engagement disorder, attachment disorders, pre-adoption experiences, adoption
