Upara: An Extraordinary Struggle in Pursuit of a Life of Dignity
Authors: Wahane Tryambak K.
Published: February 2025

Abstract:

Upara, penned by Laxman Mane, is hailed as one of the outstanding autobiographies written in Marathi. Laxman Mane belongs to Kaikadi community, a nomadic tribe, living in Maharashtra. Published in 1980, it was honoured with the prestigious Sahitya Academy Award in 1981. It was well received by the readers and was translated into many other languages. Upara was translated into English by A. K. Kamat as Upara-An Outsider. Upara chronicles the painful and equally astonishing journey of a Kaikadi boy to educate himself and break free of the age old shackles in search of a better life. Laxman Mane must be credited for sharing the sufferings and struggles of his people. It was for the first time the life of his community was reaching the outside world. Mane faced tremendous challenges and obstacles in this journey, but he kept his journey on as he had eyes set on his target. This paper’s main focus is to discuss the struggles of Laxman Mane in search of a life of dignity as documented in his autobiography.
Stress Management: An Urgent Need in nation
Authors: Kaur Damanpreet , Kaur Simranjeet
Published: February 2025

Abstract

A young worker for a multinational corporation recently passed away too soon because of the extreme stress she was experiencing at work. This is only one of the events that have caught many people’s attention, yet it happens every day right in front of us. This paper’s goal is to examine the stress that occurs in a professional setting and the potential effects it may have on an individual’s productivity. The study will also examine whether India’s numerous rules governing stress management are enough for mental health. One of the main causes of stress is the work environment. Labor laws outline the responsibilities of employers with regard to their workers’ mental health. Any tension inevitably necessitates discussing work regulations as well. Furthermore, stress is a phenomenon linked to an individual’s mental health. The article attempts to provide an answer to the topic of whether stress is indeed a mental illness. The answers to these questions will take into consideration the observations made by the courts in various case laws. Since stress negatively impacts a person’s entire life, it falls under the Constitution’s protection of fundamental rights, including the right to life.

Research on the Guidelines, Regulations, and Effects of Share Repurchases in the BFSI Sector
Authors: Kaur Damanpreet
Published: February 2025

Abstract
With an emphasis on how this corporate strategy impacts firm value, this study examines the procedure and outcomes of share buybacks in India’s BFSI industry. Although they were not feasible before 1999, when the Companies Act was amended, share buybacks are now permitted in India. To improve EPS (earnings per share), re-optimize their capital structure, and boost shareholder value, companies repurchase shares. The study looks at the financial reasons for buybacks, such as managing surplus cash, adjusting the debt-to-equity ratio, reducing taxes, and informing the market of undervaluation. The Companies Act and SEBI guidelines govern buyback procedures, which include provisions for funding constraints, capital usage limitations, and the issue of new capital after the buyback. This can result in brief price gains and serve as a signal to the market of potential future growth prospects when management believes that shares are undervalued. The study investigates these reasons and evaluates how buybacks affect a company’s liquidity, solvency, and operational effectiveness. To investigate the relationship between the percentage of capital used for buybacks and firm value beyond simple stock price movements, the authors of this study gathered data from companies registered on the Bombay Stock Exchange. By examining the effects of share buybacks on company value at the sector level within India’s BFSI industry, the study seeks to add to the body of knowledge on corporate finance strategies in emerging markets.

Keywords: Emerging markets, SEBI regulations, BFSI, regulatory framework, and share buyback

Strategic Leadership in AI-Driven Digital Transformation: Ethical Governance, Innovation Management, and Sustainable Practices for Global Enterprises and SMEs
Authors: Suljic Vahid
Published: February 2025

This The transformative force of AI-driven digitalization demands a paradigm shift in leadership,
one that transcends conventional frameworks to address the complexities of disruptive
innovation, ethical governance, and sustainable business strategies. This research critically
examines the advanced leadership capabilities required to drive the adoption and integration
of frontier technologies—including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML),
blockchain, and fintech—within the operational ecosystems of multinational corporations and
small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Digital transformation is not merely a technological
transition but a profound organizational realignment, necessitating leaders with the vision
and dexterity to dismantle silos, foster innovation, and institutionalize sustainability as a core
strategic objective. Adopting a rigorous, qualitative methodology, the study synthesizes highimpact insights from global consultancies such as McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting
Group, and Deloitte, augmented by in-depth case studies of industry trailblazers like Microsoft,
Siemens, and JPMorgan Chase. This multifaceted approach provides a strategic lens for
understanding how effective leadership propels enterprises toward competitive resilience and
market leadership in the digital economy. The analysis underscores the necessity of embedding
ethical AI governance frameworks to ensure transparency, accountability, and equity—
particularly in sectors where algorithmic decisions have significant societal impacts, such as
healthcare, finance, and law enforcement. Furthermore, cross-functional collaboration emerges
as a cornerstone of organizational agility, unlocking value through interdisciplinary synergies.
The integration of sustainability within digital strategies, exemplified by Siemens’ AI-enabled
energy optimization systems, demonstrates the unparalleled potential of aligning technological
innovation with environmental stewardship. This research concludes that strategic leadership is
the pivotal differentiator in achieving sustained competitive advantage, operational excellence,
and transformative impact in the AI era.
Nissan Motor and Intel: Important Management Lessons of Carlos Ghosn and Gordon Moore
Authors: Sayyadi Mostafa , Seraphim Michael Joanna
Published: February 2025

This is a peak at Carlos Ghosn, former CEO of Nissan Motor Corporation, and Gordon Moore,
the co-founder and former CEO of Intel Corporation, who have been recognized as the most
prominent and successful managers today. Under Ghosn’s management, Nissan became one of
the world’s largest manufacturers in the automotive industry. Under Moore’s strategic leadership, Intel also became one of the largest manufacturers of computer chips in the world. Now,
Nissan and Intel are also the most admired companies in North America and the most profitable
companies on the “Fortune 500” list. The first purpose of this study is to decode Carlos Ghosn’s
mysterious method for implementing organizational knowledge. Second, we aim to show why
and how Gordon Moore coined the phrase strategic turning point. Moore argued that all rules
would change at the strategic turning point. This study presents key insights for management
scholars and practitioners to understand why Ghosn and Moore owed most of their victories
at Nissan and Intel to their magic management practices and strategies. In this way, we have
identified the DNA of Ghosn’s knowledge management method and Moore’s strategic turning
point which contain an important story for CEOs and management scholars worldwide. These
findings come from our case study on Intel and also our consulting-based reflections in Nissan
in Australia and the US.

employees are precious assets to accomplish the long-term goals of profit and wealth maximization
in an organization. to achieve both, an organization must satisfy the employees by bringing
various HR practices such as promotion, training, incentives, performance appraisals, motivation
etc. though several HR practices already exist in private banks, it is uncertain how these practices
would influence job satisfaction. the present study attempts to find the influence of HR Practices
(Performance appraisal and training) on Job satisfaction among the employees in Private Banks. the
cross-sectional data was collected through a well-structured questionnaire from 115 respondents
who are currently working in a private bank in and around Shimoga, which is located in the state
of Karnataka. under the non-probability sampling methods, the study adopted convenience
sampling to collect the sample. Correlation and regression analysis were used to accomplish the
objectives. it is evident that both performance appraisal and training are statistically significant
and positively correlated with job satisfaction. among these, the effectiveness of training highly
influenced and contributed to satisfying the employees in the private banks.

the idea of Work from Home (WFH) has been one of the alternate workplace options for decades,
mostly used by technology companies for their knowledge workers, and till 2019 it was available
only at special request. the arrival of Covid 19 and the global lockdowns that followed made WFH
mandatory.
For this study, we reviewed the literature on the concepts of Work from Home and the concepts of
productivity from a non-mathematical point of view. Research about Work from Home in the Covid
19 period is limited as the pandemic is of recent origin. Following this review, we decided to focus
our study on some aspects of personality and the attitudes of the it professionals and the impact
of these factors on their productivity.
the study used a questionnaire sent out to it employees of various organizations in india. almost
all these employees were working from their homes. over 500 validated responses were received.
the study found that some of the aspects of core self-evaluation and job attitudes were positively
correlated to the productivity of the employee. at the same time, other aspects of these dimensions
were not correlated to productivity. these differential results mirrored that of other scholars and
earlier researches, where there was no unidirectional correlation between these variables and
productivity.
this is one of the first detailed works on productivity during the course of Work from Home, both
among knowledge workers as well as in the Indian context
Insurance, Development, and Conservation: Models Based on Time Series Forecasting and Recursive Forecasting Methods Summary
Authors: Xin Jiahao , Huang Huawei
Published: February 2025

The natural environment is undergoing significant changes due to human activities, with extreme weather profoundly impacting various aspects of life. In response to increasingly frequent natural disasters, insurance companies and land developers require effective mathematical models to balance risk and reward. Meanwhile, communities need a quantifiable scientific approach to preserve properties of cultural, historical, or economic value. For the first question, we use the insurance client retention rate and the annual probability of extreme weather in Japan and the U.S. to build a time series forecasting model. By comparing future insurance retention rates and extreme weather probabilities with current homeowner insurance amounts, we develop a recursive forecasting model to predict future insurance price trends. For the second question, as land cost is the largest expense in real estate development, we analyze an undeveloped site in Hong Kong’s Falling North area using data from the Environmental Protection Agency. Since the latest environmental assessment report is outdated, we recalculated pollutant concentrations and estimated an 8-year government treatment period. We then collected data on heavy rain, typhoons, land prices, and Hong Kong’s insurance retention rate from relevant sources. Using a time series forecasting model, we project these factors over the next eight years and apply a recursive forecasting model to estimate future housing insurance prices. For the third question, we obtained historical data on sandstorms, extreme temperatures, tourist numbers, and revenue from the Forbidden City in Beijing. We forecast sandstorms, extreme weather, and tourist numbers over the next five years, then built a recursive forecasting model incorporating 2023 revenue data to predict future earnings. Finally, we proposed preservation strategies for historic buildings within the Forbidden City.

Published: February 2025

COVID-19 is a virus which impacts many individuals including divers and those seeking HBOT. Currently little to no guidance exists for selection criteria and tests / examinations to establish a safe return to dive status or HBOT following all variants of symptoms of COVID-19. A multi-specialty group of researchers, all of whom are sub-specialty trained in hyperbaric medicine, was selected to establish a decision matrix to assist practitioners not trained in hyperbarics and aide in returning patients to diving or HBOT. An easy-to-understand algorithm was established with tests which should be administered and wait times following hospitalized and non-hospitalized COVID-19 symptoms. Safe return to dive status and HBOT can be obtained with great care for the patient and some simple diagnostic examinations.
“Oxyplastogen”: Investigating biological mechanisms and potential applications for hyperbaric Induced neuroplasticity, a narrative review
Authors: Bradley Nicholas , Stapleton Peta , McGillivray Cher
Published: February 2025

Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity or brain plasticity, is the brain’s ability to reorganize, restructure, adapt and create new connections in response to stimuli from the environment. This plays a large role in the treatment, rehabilitation and management of brain pathologies, injuries and diseases as well as creating an optimized brain state for learning and skill acquisition. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment where the patient is placed into a chamber that is pressurized to a pressure greater than 1 atmosphere of absolute pressure (ATA) whilst breathing air or pure oxygen. This leads to large amounts of oxygen dissolving in the plasma creating a substantial increase in cellular oxygen. This review searched the online databases such as MEDLINE, PubMed and the Cochrane library for studies reporting HBOT having a neuroplastic effect and the pathologies/injuries it was used for. Analysis of these studies suggest how HBOT can create a favorable environment for neuroplasticity to take place, the biological mechanisms on how this is achieved, the literature on the potential applications to brain/nervous system disorders and the literature around dosages and protocols. This review will inform future research looking at further understanding the neuroplasticity biological processes and optimizing the dose and protocol of HBOT to achieve optimum neuroplasticity for specific conditions as well as looking at therapeutic synergy with other modalities such as psychological therapies. To the authors knowledge this is the first review to exclusively look at HBOT and neuroplasticity which will help guide further research on the subject.

El presente informe ha sido elaborado para la Coordinadora Estatal de VIH y SIDA (CESIDA) por estudiantes del Máster de Derechos Humanos, Democracia y Justicia Internacional pertenecientes a la Clínica Jurídica per la Justícia Social de la Facultat de Dret de la Universitat de València. El objeto del mismo es realizar un análisis holístico de la implementación de la disposición final primera de la Ley 4/2018, que modificó la Ley 50/1980, de 8 de octubre, de Contrato de Seguro, añadiendo una disposición adicional quinta, que establece una prohibición general de discriminación a las personas que conviven con VIH, así como la prohibición de denegación de acceso a la contratación, el establecimiento de procedimientos de contratación diferentes de los habituales o la imposición de condiciones más onerosas, por razón de convivir con VIH o SIDA u otras condiciones de salud, salvo que se encuentren fundadas en causas justificadas, proporcionadas y razonables, que se hallen documentadas previa y objetivamente.
El informe se divide en dos ejes temáticos. El primero se centra en el estudio del concepto de discriminación y en la protección internacional y constitucional contra la discriminación por razón de convivir con VIH. Asimismo, en este apartado expondremos los aspectos relevantes de la legislación internacional que impone estándares de protección a España para garantizar los derechos de las personas que conviven con VIH. Además, a nivel nacional se estudiarán, por un lado, los derechos fundamentales que se pueden ver afectados por la falta de garantías en el acceso a los productos contemplados en la ley de Contrato de Seguros, y por otro, la Ley 4/2018 y los objetivos de su sanción, y algunos aspectos relevantes de la Ley de Contrato de Seguros. El segundo corresponde con un análisis de campo en el que se evalúan las condiciones generales de contratación de una muestra de seguros publicadas por algunas empresas aseguradoras que operan en España.
En este sentido, los objetivos plantados en el marco teórico se centran en la necesidad de avanzar de un enfoque médico a un enfoque integral en Derechos Humanos, que permita enfrentar la discriminación y estigmatización que sufren las personas que conviven con VIH. Asimismo, revisaremos la forma en que la falta de acceso a la contratación de seguros, además que constituir una discriminación per se, puede afectar y vulnerar otros derechos fundamentales reconocidos constitucionalmente. Por otro lado, respecto al estudio de las condiciones generales de contratación de diferentes tipos de seguros, revisaremos si las aseguradoras analizadas cumplen con la normativa incluida con la Ley 4/2018. Finalmente, expondremos nuestras conclusiones. Se acompaña un Anexo que incluye un resumen de las condiciones generales de los seguros revisados.

Nigitology: Heidegger vs. Leibniz
Authors: Kryuchkova Svetlana Evgen'evna
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of attempts at ontological development of the problem of Nothingness, presented in philosophical systems Leibniz and Heidegger. The article shows that despite the fundamentally different premises and strategies of thinking, as well as the obvious opposition of styles of philosophizing - the clarity and validity of Leibniz's argumentation against the fluidity and hermeneutic "questioning" of Heidegger - in the course of philosophical searches for the ultimate foundations of Being, one can discover non-surface points of intersection in their reflections on the nature and status of negativity. The author examines in detail the methodological strategies of "thinking through" Nothingness and reveals similar intuitions in understanding the conceptual content and philosophical status of the category of Nothingness. The novelty of the study lies in identifying specific points of intersection between Leibniz and Heidegger in the philosophical discourse on the nature of negativity. It is particularly emphasized that despite the difference in styles of philosophizing and considering Nothingness, we are dealing with the “non-present presence of Nothingness”, where the latter appears not as a negation or “deprivation”, but is filled with positive content. The similarity of the philosophizing of Leibniz and Heidegger was also manifested in their search for new terms in an attempt to reform the language of traditional metaphysics. It is shown that historical and philosophical schematism with its “-isms” and “-ologies” is not always productive, since it simplifies and obscures some aspects that are not obvious and important for understanding the ideas of a particular philosopher. By penetrating the history of metaphysics with various methods in search of an answer to the question “Does the non-existent exist?”, they thereby support and develop the historical tradition of metaphysics as “philosophia perennis,” treating it as an eternal present.

Investigating the role of IDO1 in tumors: correlating IDO1 expression with clinical pathological features and prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients
Authors: Yin Zhidong , Sun Bohao , Wang Sisi , Xu Xi , Cheng Lu , Gao Yue , Jin Er
Published: February 2025

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the role and expression patterns of IDO1 in various tumors, focusing on its correlation with clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis in patients specifically diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma.

Methods

Pan-cancer analysis assessed IDO1 function across different tumor types. Bioinformatics tools, immunohistochemistry techniques, and statistical analyses were employed to evaluate IDO1 expression levels and their association with clinical pathological features and prognosis in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

Results

IDO1 was found to be significantly overexpressed in various types of tumors, with higher levels correlating with poorer progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). In lung adenocarcinoma patients, IDO1 protein was predominantly localized to the cytoplasm and cell membrane of tumor cells, with higher expression observed in tumor cells closer to normal lung tissue. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in IDO1 expression based on the patient’s clinical data, including gender, age, tumor location, allergy history, hypertension history, cardiovascular disease history, tumor history, diabetes (both type 1 and type 2), body mass index, smoking history, family history, alcohol history, and tumor maximum diameter (P > 0.05). However, IDO1 expression positively correlated with lymph node metastasis, pleural invasion, tumor recurrence, lower tumor differentiation, solid tumor components, preoperative chemotherapy, and clinical tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) staging (*P < 0.05), while negatively correlating with prior surgical history (*P < 0.05). Patients exhibiting high IDO1 expression levels demonstrated significantly worse PFS and OS (***P < 0.001 and **P = 0.003, respectively).

Conclusion

High IDO1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma correlates with increased tumor invasiveness, metastatic potential, advanced clinical stage, and poorer prognosis.
A Review of Bears in Himachal Pradesh: Distribution, Conflict with Human and their Mitigation Strategies
Authors: Kumar Gulshan , Bharti Shubham , Kapoor Gaurav
Published: February 2025

The existence of bears in Himachal Pradesh contributes significantly to the region's biodiversity. However, rising confrontations between bears and people pose substantial concerns. In Himachal Pradesh; Himalayan brown bears are reported in 10 protected areas. The Asiatic black bear is often distributed at elevations of 70 to 3000m asl. Recorded data on the presence of Asiatic black bears in Lahaul Valley, Rupi-bhaba WLS, Daranghati wildlife sanctuaries Himachal Pradesh, and genetic analysis identifies 307 unique Black bear, with the highest numbers in Kinnaur (n=90) and Kullu (n=76). Intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence conflict occurrence: older male brown bears often prey on younger conspecifics, particularly cubs. Younger bears and females with cubs are more likely to be near human settlements to protect themselves from older males. Extrinsic drivers like anthropogenic food sources and habitat loss from human activities. Climate change also influences the occurrence of Himalayan brown bears as they mostly prefer places with relatively low minimum and maximum surface temperatures during the hottest (7 to 12°C) and coldest (-6 to -1°C) months., The wettest quarter was most associated with brown bear incidence between 45mm and 85mm.Himalayan brown bear favors regions with little permanent snow or ice, and their probability of occurring significantly decreases when snow or ice levels exceed 5%, also Climate change may shorten hibernation, and Rapid development leads to habitat degradation and increased human-bear conflicts. The Himalayan brown bears are the most commonly recorded animal to cause livestock harm. Because of the secretive character of Himalayan brown bears and Asiatic black bears and the rough terrain, it has received little research attention. There is limited information on the species distribution ranges, with only a few range reports and short-term research on bear-human interaction leading to a lack of scientific knowledge needed for conservation and habitat management.
Effect of Cell Wall Neutral Sugars and Uronic Acid Compounds on Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Retting Ability
Authors: Didier-olivier Bebiné Biedi , Nardis Nkoudou Ze , Leroy Sado Kamdem Sylvain , Justin Essia Ngang Jean
Published: February 2025

Aims: Evaluate the effect of cassava cell wall neutral sugars and uronic acids on the ability of cassava to be retted by a traditional starter (sta_96).
Place and Duration of Study: Sample: collected from a farm in the Center region in Cameroon. All the analysis were performed at the Department of Microbiology of the University of Yaounde 1 in Cameroon, between June 2024 and December 2024.
Methodology: height (08) different local cassava varieties 12 months aged were submitted to fermentation with Sta_96 and their retting kinetic parameters (retting rate and retting times) were assessed by penetrometry. Furthermore, their parietal compounds (neutral sugars and uronic acids) and non-parietal compounds (reducing and total sugars) were analyzed by spectrophotometry and the data obtained were submitted to correlation analysis.
Results: It was observed that the roots of the VB 3, CB 1, CB 2, sweet, 6M, and CR varieties softened more easily, with fermentation rates ranging from 1.04 ± 0.88 to 1.75 ± 0.23 cm/h and retting times ranging from 42.64 ± 7.07 to 50.64 ± 0.44 h. The roots of the VB 1 and VB 4 varieties softened with greater difficulty. Negative correlations (-0.79 and -0.881 respectively for neutral sugars and uronic acids) were observed between neutral sugars, uronic acids and softening rate, suggesting that these compounds increase cassava’s retting time by decreasing it fermentation rate. This study shows that the cassava’s softening ability is linked to the neutral sugars and uronic acids content in cassava root walls.
Conclusion: Taking into account the cell wall composition in the formulation of starters can lead to a standardization of the cassava roots retting time.

Given the rapid global spread and high virus infectivity, with significant economic, humanitarian, and social impacts, it has become imperative to develop an efficient strategy to contain the spread of the disease. In this context, mass vaccination planning proved to be desirable and promising, aiming to reduce morbidity and mortality caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and reduce hospitalizations resulting from the disease.
Study Design: Descriptive quantitative cross-sectional epidemiological research with convenience sampling of patients treated at the geriatrics outpatient clinic of the University of Tocantins.
Place and Duration of Study: Information was collected from 128 volunteer patients between August 2022 and July 2023.
Methodology: Information was collected from 128 volunteer patients between August 2022 and July 2023.
Results: Analyzing the distribution of cases and deaths by age group in Brazil, there was a higher incidence among adults, with 69.3% of deaths in people over 60 years of age, and 64% of these had at least one risk factor.
Conclusion: Cases of pneumonia associated with COVID-19 were more likely to occur in older, male patients and with comorbidities, compared to milder cases. Following the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO), priority groups were established, including healthcare professionals due to high work exposure and elderly people due to their immunological vulnerability and prevalence of comorbidities.

Published: February 2025

The increasing demand for oil fuel and the decline of crude oil reserves highlight the need for alternative energy sources. Palm oil, as a renewable resource, has potential for biofuel production through catalytic cracking. This study aims to develop and evaluate modified zeolite-based catalysts, particularly ZSM-5/HY, to produce palm oil-derived gasoline that meets European fuel standards. The research involved catalyst preparation, modification with ZSM-5 and phosphorus, and activity testing in a fixed-bed reactor. Gasoline yield and catalyst performance were analyzed using gas chromatography. The results showed nearly 100% conversion of palm oil under optimal conditions, with gasoline yield meeting European standard. The addition of ZSM-5 improved conversion and RON, while phosphorus modification reduced catalyst acidity, affecting yield and coke formation. This study concludes that modifying zeolite catalysts with ZSM-5 and phosphorus enables efficient palm oil-derived gasoline production with high RON and reduced aromatic content, contributing to sustainable energy solutions.

Funktionsgerechte Bedingungen sicherstellen – ein Plädoyer für einen starken öffentlich- rechtlichen Rundfunk
Authors: Neukamm Katrin , Volkmann Caroline
Published: February 2025

Der Beitrag skizziert die Bedeutung des öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunks für die demokratische Gesellschaft im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung und Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Medienangebote. Seiner Aufgabe kann er nur gerecht werden, wenn seine Funktionsbedingungen sichergestellt sind. Auf dieser Grundlage wird erörtert, inwieweit ausgewählte Regelungen des von den Ländern erarbeiteten Reformstaatsvertrags diesen verfassungsrechtlichen Vorgaben gerecht werden.
Besetzung von Prüfungsausschüssen bei Unternehmen von öffentlichem Interesse nach § 107 Abs. 4 AktG
Authors: Dreher Meinrad , Fritz Dennis
Published: February 2025

Bei der Besetzung des Prüfungsausschusses eines Unternehmens von öffentlichem Interesse sind besondere Anforderungen einzuhalten. Diese ergeben sich nicht nur aus dem allgemeinen Gesellschaftsrecht, sondern auch aus aufsichtsrechtlichen Vorgaben und aufsichtsbehördlichen Verlautbarungen. Dabei sind die Anforderungen an den Vorsitzenden und an die weiteren Mitglieder eines Prüfungsausschusses verschieden. Zu differenzieren ist auch zwischen erledigenden und vorbereitenden Prüfungsausschüssen sowie ganz neu zwischen dreiköpfigen und größeren Aufsichtsräten. Dies wirkt sich beispielsweise auf die Frage aus, ob zumindest ein Mitglied des Prüfungsausschusses über Sachverstand auf dem Gebiet Nachhaltigkeit verfügen muss. Außerdem geht es unabhängig von dieser Unterscheidung um die Zuverlässigkeitsanforderungen für Mitglieder und Vorsitzende von Prüfungsausschüssen bei Unternehmen von öffentlichem Interesse.
Urheberrecht trifft Produktsicherheitsrecht: Urheberrechtliche Implikationen der KI-VO – Teil 2 — Pflicht zur Kennzeichnung synthetischer Inhalte, Rechtsdurchsetzung, Bewertung
Authors: Pech Sebastian
Published: February 2025

Die KI-VO enthält mit den Pflichten zur Einführung einer Urheberrechtsstrategie (Art. 53 Abs. 1 Buchst. c KI-VO), zur Veröffentlichung einer Zusammenfassung der Trainingsdaten (Art. 53 Abs. 1 Buchst. d KI-VO) und zur Kennzeichnung synthetischer Inhalte (Art. 50 Abs. 2 KI-VO) mehrere urheberrechtsbezogene Regelungen. Der erste Teil des Beitrags (Pech, CR 2024, 773) befasste sich mit den urheberrechtlichen Grundlagen im Zusammenhang mit der Entwicklung und Nutzung (generativer) Künstlicher Intelligenz sowie den Pflichten zur Einführung einer Urheberrechtsstrategie und zur Veröffentlichung einer Zusammenfassung der Trainingsdaten. Dieser Beitrag stellt die Pflicht zur Kennzeichnung synthetischer Inhalte vor und geht der Frage nach, welche weiteren urheberrechtlichen Implikationen sich daraus ergeben. Zudem wird untersucht, inwiefern die urheberrechtsbezogenen Pflichten aus der KI-VO auch zivilrechtlich durchgesetzt werden können, bevor diese abschließend bewertet werden.
Buchwertfortführung beim Transfer von Wirtschaftsgütern zwischen Schwesterpersonengesellschaften – Quo vadis, Gesetzgeber?
Authors: Marquardsen Maria
Published: February 2025

Im November 2023 erging die Entscheidung des BVerfG zur Frage, ob § 6 Abs. 5 EStG dahingehend verfassungsgemäß ist, dass der Transfer von Wirtschaftsgütern zu Buchwerten zwischen beteiligungsidentischen Schwesterpersonengesellschaften in dieser Regelung nicht explizit erfasst war. Mit dem Beschluss sollte sich der „Zoff im BFH“ - wie der ehemalige Vorsitzende des I. Senats, Prof. Dr. Dietmar Gosch, die Uneinigkeit einst taufte (DStR 2010, 1173) - klären. Das BVerfG kam zu dem Ergebnis, dass die bis dato geltende Gesetzeslage mit dem allgemeinen Gleichheitssatz unvereinbar sei. An den Gesetzgeber erging der Auftrag, „unverzüglich“ eine Neuregelung zu treffen. Mit dem Jahressteuergesetz 2024 v. 2.12.2024, BGBl. I 2024 Nr. 387, ist der Gesetzgeber diesem Regelungsauftrag nachkommen. Hierzu wurde eine neue Nr. 4 in § 6 Abs. 5 S. 3 EStG aufgenommen. Den verfassungsrechtlichen Bedenken wird damit aber nur auf den ersten Blick abgeholfen. Der folgende Beitrag soll die Neuregelung in den bestehenden Normkanon systematisch einordnen, Schwächen der legislativen Vorgehensweise beleuchten und mit einer Handlungsempfehlung an den Gesetzgeber schließen.
Zur Verfassungsmäßigkeit der Ausschließlichkeit einer Zwangsbehandlung im Krankenhaus
Authors: Eufinger Alexander
Published: February 2025

Medizinische Zwangsmaßnahmen gegen den Willen des Patienten sind bisher nur im Krankenhaus erlaubt. Das BVerfG hat entschieden, dass diese Regelung teilweise verfassungswidrig ist und fordert eine Neuregelung bis 2027. Nach aktueller Gesetzeslage dürfen solche Maßnahmen bei betreuten Personen nur durchgeführt werden, wenn der Betreuer zustimmt und strenge zusätzliche Bedingungen erfüllt sind. Eine davon ist, dass die Maßnahmen ausschließlich während eines stationären Krankenhausaufenthalts erfolgen dürfen. Eine ambulante Behandlung ist ausgeschlossen. Dieser strikte Krankenhausvorbehalt ist verfassungswidrig. Das BVerfG sieht darin einen Verstoß gegen die staatliche Schutzpflicht für die körperliche Unversehrtheit und Gesundheit, wie sie in Art. 2 Abs. 2 S. 1 GG verankert ist.
Rechtsprechungsauslese 2024
Authors: Wäger Christoph
Published: February 2025

Der EuGH, der sich im Berichtsjahr mit Wirkung ab Anfang Oktober aus der Bearbeitung neuer Vorabentscheidungsersuchen zurückgezogen hat und dies abgesehen von Sonderkonstellationen nunmehr dem EuG überlässt, hat auch im letzten Jahr seiner Alleinzuständigkeit zur Auslegung des unionsrechtlich harmonisierten Mehrwertsteuerrechts die Besteuerungspraxis mit vielfältigen Folgefragen zu seiner Rechtsprechung versorgt. Einem dieser Punkte, der Frage, welche Bedeutung einer Bereicherung im Mehrwertsteuerrecht zukommen kann, soll im Folgenden gesondert nachgegangen werden, bevor in einem zweiten Teil die höchstrichterliche Rechtsprechung des EuGH zu Vorabentscheidungsersuchen und des BFH in Revisionsverfahren in ihrer gesamten Breite dargestellt wird.
