The Digital Interaction of Generation Z: Communication Patterns with Idols Through TikTok Live Streaming
Authors: Mochammad Muchlis Romadon  , Afnan Karimah
Published: February 2025

This research examines the digital interaction patterns of Generation Z with their idols through live streaming on TikTok. As a generation deeply connected to digital technology, Generation Z spends a significant amount of time on social media platforms, with TikTok being one of the most popular choices due to its interactive live streaming feature. This study aims to explore how real-time communication during live streaming influences the parasocial relationship between fans and idols. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through online participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. A total of 12 participants aged 18 to 23 who actively followed live streaming sessions on TikTok were involved in this research. The study results revealed that 75% of participants felt emotionally closer to their idols during live streaming compared to pre-recorded content. The main interaction patterns observed included personal comments and questions, as well as the use of interactive features such as sending virtual gifts, which allowed fans to receive direct recognition from their idols. These interactions strengthened the emotional bond between fans and idols. The study also found that the idol's personality and responsiveness significantly influenced fan engagement. More interactive and responsive live sessions tended to sustain fan interest, while longer and less interactive sessions led to a decline in engagement. This research highlights how live streaming technology plays a crucial role in shaping digital communication patterns, particularly in strengthening parasocial relationships between Generation Z and their idols on TikTok. The study provides insights into the dynamics of real-time digital communication and its impact on fan-idol relationships, contributing to a broader understanding of the role of social media in contemporary fan culture.

Primjena elektroničkog nadzora u različitim fazama kaznenog postupka
Authors: Lalić Petar , Brkić Goran , Rizvić Dijana
Published: February 2025

Premda se o trajnoj implementaciji elektroničkog nadzora u hrvatski kaznenopravni sustav jako dugo govori i više je puta najavljivana, tek su donošenjem Pravilnika o uvjetnom otpustu uz elektronički nadzor iz 2022. godine stvoreni zakonski preduvjeti njegove primjene. Prije stupanja na snagu Pravilnika Ministarstvo pravosuđa i uprave potpisalo je Ugovor o nabavi 200 kompleta opreme za elektronički nadzor s pripadajućim softverom, opremilo i uredilo Nadzorni centar za elektronički nadzor te osiguralo službenike koji će nadzirati osuđenike na uvjetnom otpustu koji će biti nadzirani putem elektroničkog nadzora. Nakon stupanja na snagu Pravilnika i osiguravanja svih prethodno navedenih preduvjeta Ministarstvo je organiziralo dva sastanka sa sucima izvršenja na kojima im je predstavilo način funkcioniranja elektroničkog nadzora kao i mogućnost njegove primjene nad uvjetno otpuštenim osuđenicima sukladno Pravilniku. Dana 19. rujna 2022. godine prvi osuđenik na uvjetnom otpustu stavljen je pod elektronički nadzor (osuđeniku je bila određena obveza zabrane napuštanja doma u vremenu od 23 sata do 6 sati). U međuvremenu je 12. siječnja 2024. godine stupio na snagu i Pravilnik o načinu izvršavanja istražnog zatvora u domu, koji podzakonski uređuje provedbu istražnog zatvora u domu te nudi novu zakonsku alternativu kod određivanja istražnog zatvora. U radu autori najprije donose prikaz aktualnih trendova u primjeni elektroničkog nadzora u Europi, potom prikaz rezultata preliminarnog istraživanja stavova sudaca o elektroničkom nadzoru nakon što je uveden u fazi uvjetnog otpusta te se planira njegovo uvođenje i u fazi istražnog zatvora, i na kraju zaključno nude smjernice i prijedloge za širu primjenu elektroničkog nadzora nad uvjetno otpuštenim osuđenicima, odnosno istražnim zatvorenicima.
Femicid: od neologizma do posebnog kaznenog djela
Authors: Aljinović Nevena
Published: February 2025

Uvođenje kaznenog djela femicida kao najekstremnijeg oblika kulminacije rodno uvjetovanog nasilja nad ženama izazvalo je toliko polemike i polarizirajućih stavova kao malokoje kazneno djelo do sada. Ta snažna riječ političke konotacije u sebi nosi više od teorijske rasprave o feminizmu jer stremi prepoznavanju i definiranju rodno uvjetovanog ubojstva žena. Iako oponenti tvrde da inkorporacija „simboličkog pojma“ femicida kao samostalnog kaznenog djela nema supstantivne koristi na praktičnoj razini jer (samo) nominalno izdvaja već postojeći modalitet počinjenja kaznenog djela teškog ubojstva s istom zaprijećenom kaznom, činjenica je da femicid sadrži rodnu komponentu te osvješćuje postojanje rodne diskriminacije i nasilja nad ženama. Upravo u toj bitnoj odrednici femicida, napose inherentnoj mu rodnoj sastavnici i prisutnosti nasilja nad ženama kao njegove imanentne pertinencije, počiva suštinska distinkcija femicida od kaznenog djela teškog ubojstva. Kazneni zakon kao živi mehanizam i društvena žila kucavica mora držati korak sa suvremenim društvenim danostima te svojom normativnom metamorfozom biti u službi kontemporarnih društvenih potreba. U kontekstu navedenog, pozicioniranje femicida kao kaznenog djela predstavlja važan (is)korak prema uklanjanju povijesno utkanih ‘nejednakih odnosa moći’ između muškaraca i žena, što je jedini put prema postizanju društva egalitarnosti. Cilj je rada analizirati rasprave koje su prethodile i rješenja koja su usvojena u pojedinim europskim zemljama u cilju osvještenja fenomena femicida i skidanja vela njegove „nevidljivosti“ bilo pozicioniranjem uz bok s kaznenim djelima protiv života i tijela bilo normirajući ga posebnim zakonom. Analiza se temelji na teleološkom tumačenju zakonskih odredbi te normativnoj analizi poredbenih zakonodavstava, uključujući i analizu teorijskih razmatranja vezanih uz tu tematiku.
Izuzeće u kaznenom postupku: teorijska analiza i praktična primjena
Authors: Parenta Iva , Kos Damir
Published: February 2025

Pravo na suđenje pred nepristranim sudom jedno je od jamstava pravičnog postupka koje nije ustanovljeno samo u interesu okrivljenika već i u javnom interesu. Nepristran je sud conditio sine qua non legitimiteta sudskih odluka, očuvanja autoriteta suda i povjerenja javnosti u funkcioniranje pravosuđa. U okviru hrvatskoga sustava kaznenog postupka pravo na suđenje pred nepristranim sudom osigurava se odredbama Zakona o kaznenom postupku koje uređuju institut izuzeća. U nedostatku znanstvene literature u Republici Hrvatskoj koja bi se bavila obradom te teme temeljna je svrha ovoga rada dati de lege lata tumačenje odredaba koje reguliraju institut izuzeća s naglaskom na spornim pitanjima koja se pojavljuju u sudskoj praksi. Nakon uvodnog razmatranja u radu se ukratko prikazuju standardi jamstva nepristranosti razvijeni u praksi Europskog suda za ljudska prava, na koju se naslanja i praksa Ustavnog suda RH. Polazeći od diferenciranja osnova izuzeća u našem ZKP-u (ovisno o tome je li riječ o razlozima isključenja ili otklona), analiziraju se i tumače osnove isključenja sudaca ili sudaca porotnika, zatim dodatne osnove isključenja vještaka aktualizirane u hrvatskoj javnosti u predmetu Agrokor te okolnosti koje mogu dovesti do otklona sudaca. Nastavno se analizira postupak izuzeća, uključujući i ovlasti koje sudu stoje na raspolaganju u slučaju očite zlouporabe prava. Konačno se analiziraju procesne posljedice pogrešne primjene odredaba o izuzeću, koje se manifestiraju u bitnim povredama odredaba kaznenog postupka s različitim učinkom ovisno o tome je li riječ o pogrešnoj primjeni pravila koja dovode do isključenja ili otklona. Nakon poredbenog prikaza instituta izuzeća u izabranim pravnim porecima u posljednjem su dijelu rada sadržana zaključna razmatranja.
Primjena samostalnih mjera opreza prema neubrojivim osobama
Authors: Pamić Martina , Jakovljević David
Published: February 2025

Istražni zatvor predstavlja najrestriktivniju mjeru osiguranja prisutnosti okrivljenika. Njegovo trajanje ograničeno je i ovisi o kazni propisanoj za kazneno djelo koje se okrivljeniku stavlja na teret. U praksi nije rijetko da prije donošenja presude suda prvog stupnja najdulje trajanje istražnog zatvora istekne. Stoga je za otklanjanje razloga zbog kojih je bila primijenjena mjera istražnog zatvora potrebno primijeniti samostalne mjere opreza iz članka 98.a Zakona o kaznenom postupku. U slučaju postojanja osnovane sumnje da je okrivljenik počinio protupravno djelo u stanju neubrojivosti, istražni zatvor može mu se odrediti samo na temelju članka 551. stavka 1. ZKP-a ako postoji vjerojatnost da bi zbog težih duševnih smetnji mogao počiniti teže kazneno djelo. Dakle, neubrojivom okrivljeniku nije moguće odrediti istražni zatvor po nekoj od osnova propisanih člankom 123. stavkom 1. ZKP-a. Ako pak sud, nakon provedenog psihijatrijskog vještačenja, utvrdi da je za otklanjanje takve okrivljenikove opasnosti dostatno njegovo liječenje na slobodi, istražni zatvor može se zamijeniti mjerom opreza liječenja na slobodi (članak 551. stavak 3. ZKP-a). No što kad neubrojivom okrivljeniku istekne trajanje istražnog zatvora prije donošenja presude? Mogu li mu se odrediti mjere opreza kao samostalne mjere opreza? Ako mogu, koje? One iz članka 98. ZKP-a ili pak ona iz članka 551. stavka 3. ZKP-a? Pod kojim se pretpostavkama mogu odrediti? Od uvođenja instituta samostalnih mjera opreza sudska je praksa raznolika i ne daje jednoznačne odgovore na ova pitanja.
Advancing life insurance pricing accuracy through mortality forecasting: A time-series and survival analysis approach
Authors: Kaukuntla Preetham Reddy
Published: February 2025

Mortality experience is critical for life insurance business to determine correct premium rates, reserve requirements and sound profitability. Many techniques are based on prior mortality experience and simple one- factor prognostic patterns that do not reveal the underlying change processes. The approach suggested in this paper intends to improve the accuracy of mortality predictions through integrating time series analysis coupled with survival analysis. Insurers are in a position to accurately price policies underwritten to mortality probabilities that are more accurate due to application of sophisticated statistical methods and wider range of data sources. These are applied together with clinically collected demographic and health-related data, which are used in time-series forecasting using ARIMA models and in survival analysis by using Cox proportional hazards models. From these results, it can be concluded that the hybrid model performs much better than traditional models for the prognosis of mortality rates, providing a sound approach to the establishment of life insurance premiums. Besides and more importantly, this approach is also used in helping the refinement of premium, the enhancement of strategic planning, as well as meeting the required regulations for the sustainable development and growth of the life insurance service providers.
Data classification segregation and targeted approach necessity for defensive security measures
Authors: Athavale Anand
Published: February 2025

Data classification has been painfully and clearly an afterthought for security measures. Historically, data classification was a “no-one-wants-to-do” regulation requirement applicable to only those organizations and industries who were “selected” to be “regulated.” As part of the regulation compliance, those “chosen” organizations had to show proof of data classification either in a direct way, or, data classification was a necessary pre-requisite for carrying out the mandated “data actions” prescribed by various regulations. However, once attackers started using dual attack techniques of threatening the access to data by encryption or locking, with the technique of exfiltrating the data to hold it ransom with a threat of a leak, security and IT teams were caught off guard. While data leak prevention systems were in place from a long ago, the scope and origins were vastly different. In the rush of addressing this issue, security solutions seemed to have missed a step of subdividing those requirements into two separate categories which needs to be clarified for the security practitioners to implement effective and rapid measures.

From Pay To Performance: Uncovering The Power Of Salaries in Taraba State Polytechnic, Jalingo.
Authors: Grace Harry Shimfe* , John Wajim
Published: February 2025

Numerous public sector organizations have been observed to provide insufficient remuneration to their employees, resulting in reduced job satisfaction, strained employee relations, and decreased productivity. Inadequate remuneration systems, marked by low basic pay and wages, contribute to lower employee productivity, elevated staff turnover rates, and diminished morale. These factors collectively have a negative impact on the overall performance of public sector organizations. However, much effort is needed to ensure that these factors are properly addressed. This study investigated remuneration and employees’ job performance in Taraba State Polytechnic, Jalingo. Literature was reviewed on sub themes based on the objectives of the study, while the following theory was adopted for the study; Abraham Maslow Theory. Cross sectional survey design was adopted for the study. Taro Yamane formula was employed to draw 399 respondents for the study. The instruments for data collection included quantitative (Questionnaire) and qualitative (Key Informant Interview). Analysis of the study was carried out at both univariate and bivariate levels. The findings of the study indicated a strong positive correlation between salary and job performance, with employees demonstrating competence, diligence, commitment to duties, and the ability to meet deadlines all at significance level of 0.01 and 0.05 respectively. Based on the findings, the study recommended among others that timely disbursement of salaries should be encouraged.
Combining Disaster Recovery, Backup Security, and Compliance: Best Practices for Encryption, RBAC, and MFA
Authors: Matey Preeti
Published: February 2025

In the current digital age, ensuring the security of disaster recovery (DR) systems and backup data has become a critical concern for organizations focused on safeguarding their assets and maintaining seamless business operations. This paper explores the integration of essential security practices—encryption, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)—into disaster recovery and backup security frameworks. These technologies work synergistically to enhance data protection, mitigate unauthorized access risks, and ensure regulatory compliance. Encryption protects data both during transmission and storage, RBAC limits access based on user roles, and MFA adds an additional layer of defense by requiring multiple forms of verification before granting access. By leveraging these strategies, organizations can build a more resilient, secure, and compliant disaster recovery plan that meets evolving cyber threats and regulatory standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. This study also examines the challenges organizations face in implementing these security measures and offers actionable insights to help establish a robust backup and recovery strategy. Ultimately, the research serves as a comprehensive guide for businesses seeking to strengthen their disaster recovery systems through encryption, access controls, and authentication mechanisms.

Keywords: Disaster Recovery, Backup Security, Encryption, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Compliance, Cybersecurity, Business Continuity, Data Protection, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, Regulatory Compliance, Security Best Practices, Backup Systems, Data Integrity, IT Security.
AHP and GRA-Based Decision Support Model for Classified Ad Websites: A Case Study on Vehicle Selection
Authors: Uysal Çağrı , Giran Ömer
Published: February 2025

This study proposes an application for scoring and ranking vehicles selected from classified ads based on criteria defined by decision-makers. The approach aims to reduce the time wasted in commonly encountered decision-making situations. The criteria weights were determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process based on relative comparison data separately defined by two decision-makers. The degree and ranking data for the alternatives were obtained through Grey Relational Analysis. For Decision Maker A, the highest-ranking vehicle was a hybrid car with a C-segment, sedan body type, automatic transmission, and a 1.8-liter engine capacity, scoring 91%. For Decision Maker B, the result was a D-segment vehicle with a sedan body type, automatic transmission, and a 1.5-liter engine capacity, ranking first with 85%. In situations where the comparison matrix could not be completed due to time constraints, an analysis based on the assumption of equal weights indicated that the hybrid car with a C-segment, sedan body type, automatic transmission, and a 1.8-liter engine capacity ranked first with a Grey Relational Degree of 81%.
Familia, empleo y pautas de conciliación en España: un análisis longitudinal e interseccional
Authors: Bogino Larrambebere Victoria , Jurado-Guerrero Teresa
Published: February 2025

La forma de conciliar empleo y vida familiar varía significativamente dentro del colectivo de madres y también su acceso a las políticas de permisos. Este artículo analiza por primera vez las trayectorias laborales-familiares y las pautas de conciliación en España desde una perspectiva longitudinal e interseccional. Para ello, a partir de los datos retrospectivos de la Encuesta de Fecundidad de 2018, se lleva a cabo un análisis de secuencias multicanal para las madres de 18 a 55 años, según nivel de educación y país de nacimiento. Los resultados muestran que las desigualdades en cuanto a la penalización laboral por maternidad son notables entre los diferentes grupos interseccionales y se perpetúan con menor intensidad para las cohortes más jóvenes. Si bien la trayectoria laboral prematernidad resulta clave para mantener una pauta de conciliación continua, hay un grupo importante de madres que se incorpora al empleo después de largas interrupciones, cuando los menores crecen. El acceso al permiso por maternidad es considerable, pero el uso de las escuelas de educación infantil todavía es reducido.
Contribuição jurídica da Declaração de Friburgo para análise dos direitos culturais
Authors: Bueno Douglas Aparecido , Albuquerque Carolina de , Conselvan Victor de Almeida
Published: February 2025

O objetivo deste estudo é realizar uma análise crítica dos direitos culturais, com foco na identidade e educação, à luz dos direitos humanos, destacando a contribuição jurídica da Declaração de Friburgo e outros instrumentos internacionais na construção desses conceitos. Utilizando-se de uma metodologia baseada em revisão bibliográfica de documentos, leis e Tratados Internacionais, o artigo parte da hipótese de que a liberdade e igualdade são impreteríveis para a formação das identidades culturais; e o Estado deve atuar através de políticas públicas para a efetividade da promoção da educação inclusiva e na salvaguarda dos direitos culturais, ao lado das comunidades e das famílias. Como resultado, observou-se que a interpretação dos direitos culturais deve equilibrar a valorização da liberdade, da igualdade e da diversidade com o respeito aos direitos humanos universais. Conclui-se que a despeito de a Declaração de Friburgo não se configurar como norma eminentemente jurídica, ela desempenha um papel essencial na compreensão dos direitos culturais e na expressão da coobrigação estatal na sua efetividade, ressaltando sua relevância para a construção de sociedades mais justas e inclusivas.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Severe asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) are frequently comorbid diseases caused by type 2 inflammation. The complete etiology of these forms still remains unexplained, which makes causal and fully effective therapeutic management impossible. New therapeutic options using the knowledge of Th2 inflammatory endotype are based on anti-IL5 (mepolizumab, reslizumab), anti-IL5R (benralizumab), anti-IgE (omalizumab), and anti-IL4/IL13 (dupilumab) monoclonal antibodies. Recently, biological therapy has provided a new personalized therapeutic option for patients with CRSw NP.Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of mepolizumab, benralizumab, omalizumab, and dupilumab in the reduction of rhinological symptoms in severe asthmatic patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.Materials and methods: In 32 (9 male, 18%) patients with CRSwNP and severe bronchial asthma treated with biologics – mepolizumab (19, 59%), omalizumab (5, 15%), benralizumab (6, 19%), and dupilumab (2, 6%) for 6 months, a subjective evaluation of rhinologic symptoms was conducted (TNSS, SNOT, smell evaluation).Results: In all analyzed groups, 6-month treatment with mepolizumab, omalizumab, and benralizumab resulted in significant improvement in rhinitis symptoms assessed by TNSS and SNOT scales as well as in the sense of smell. Due to the small group of patients treated with dupilumab, statistical analysis in this group was not performed.Conclusions: Our real-life observation confirmed that biological therapy based on phenotyping enables achieving optimal therapeutic effects for patients with CRSwNP and severe bronchial asthma. Biological therapy should be conducted through a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach.

The Taal Volcanic Eruption in January 2020 posed significant social and economic challenges to the coastal municipality of Lemery, Batangas. This disaster emphasizes the need for targeted management strategies, particularly in coastal communities vulnerable to volcanic eruptions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive baseline for improving future volcanic disaster management by applying a systems thinking approach and integrating disaster readiness into land use planning and zoning to address interconnected risks and minimize vulnerabilities. The study used primary data from key informant interviews, supplemented by secondary data from government reports and academic literature. Using a phenomenological design, thematic analysis was used to generate themes on readiness, response, and recovery mechanisms of coastal communities and the factors affecting them. The findings identified the critical gaps in the municipality's disaster preparedness, response, and recovery mechanisms. Significant findings were (1) total lack of preparedness, (2) individualized response efforts shaped by socioeconomic conditions, and (3) recovery processes that faced barriers from the COVID-19 pandemic, ineffective coordination, and poor resource mobilization. These challenges emphasize the need for a multi-sectoral and cross-boundary approach to disaster risk reduction. Developing an inclusive and context-sensitive disaster management framework can enhance the resilience of coastal communities, thus ensuring better outcomes for future volcanic hazards.
Design and construction of deep excavation shoring system in swelling Bringelly shale in Sydney
Authors: Yang Qijing , Xu Bo
Published: February 2025

This paper presents a case study of an approximately 20-metre-deep excavation into Bringelly Shale at the St Marys metro station, which is part of the Station Boxes and Tunnelling works for Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport. A review of the site geology, ground model and geotechnical design parameters is presented. The swelling characteristics of Bringelly Shale are summarised based on site specific testing results and compared against published data. An attempt is made to appreciate the radial displacement development of ground anchor hole on the bond strength. A coupled groundwater and stress-strain modelling was carried out using Plaxis 2D to optimize the design after anchor pullout testing at the project site. A prediction is made with respect to the ground responses to the retention system using soldier piles and ground anchors during staged excavations. An instrumentation and monitoring plan has been developed and implemented during the construction to validate the performance of the retention walls. The reduced bonded strength of ground anchors in Bringelly Shale with swelling potentials with “weak” rock layers was recommended based on site specific proof testing results. The monitored lateral movement of deep excavation at the St Marys metro station site is ranging between 1 mm to 4 mm per metre of excavation as compared to 0.5 mm to 2 mm per metres for excavations in Hawkesbury sandstone and Ashfield Shale. The findings of this paper are considered to be useful for practitioners who will be involved in future projects dealing with Bringelly Shale having swelling potential.

Corn is a traditional product of the Brazilian economy, being one of the main crops produced and exported in Brazil. In this sense, corn price projection based on international prices presents itself as an important support tool for producers' future decision-making, by providing a set of information that makes it possible to reduce uncertainties associated with production and agricultural marketing. In this context, the present work aimed to estimate an econometric time series model to predict the behavior of international corn prices based on monthly prices observed by ESALQ/BM&FBOVESPA in the period from January/2010 to May/2024, totaling 173 observations. For this, the Box-Jenkins methodology was developed – used to analyze univariate time series. The results obtained indicated that the most appropriate model to pay the price variation in dollars for corn/60kg bag through the available price series was ARIMA (1,1,0).

In west-east direction, the Selec Block of the Považský Inovec Mts consists of three geologically and tectonically distinct segments of Tatricum.

1) Eastern segment is characterized by dominance of the Tatric crystalline basement rocks (mica schists), subautochthonous position and internally imbricated structure with thrust sheets of Permian, Triassic and Upper Cretaceous (Horné Belice Group) rocks. Rocks of the Fatricum and Hronicum are rudimentarily preserved along the eastern margin of the block.

2) Central segment represents deformed – folded and sheared structure, composed of the Tatric crystalline basement (orthogneiss) and sedimentary rocks of Carboniferous to Triassic age. This segment largely corresponds to lithology surrounding the Hôrka shear zone and the Selec thrust.

3) The western segment is represented by internally imbricated structure, containing Variscan (Lower Carboniferous) crystalline basement rocks (diapthorites of different types), Permian to Triassic rocks of the Tatricum and thin-skinned nappe complexes of Fatricum and Hronicum.

In the years 2021–2023, the State Geological Institute of Dionýz Štúr, Slovakia, carried out a detailed geological survey of the environmental burden on the Senica site, identified as a probable environmental burden with a high priority within the project Geological survey of selected environmental burdens ŠGÚDŠ-3. The task was carried out in accordance with the strategic planning document for a systematic survey and removal of environmental burdens entitled State Program for Remediation of Environmental Burdens of the Slovak Republic (2016–2021) within the Operational Program of Environmental Quality. The goal of the survey was a detailed verification of all components of the environment at locations that, based on a preliminary risk assessment in the information system of environmental burdens, represented a potential risk for human health and the environment. The survey verified in detail an area of approximately 37 ha, on which 210 chemical indicators were analytically determined from a wide range of indicators according to the type of activity of the former Slovenský hodváb plants, which were evaluated in accordance with the current applicable legislation in the field of environmental burdens. The results of the survey did not confirm serious pollution of the underground water and rock environment, which would be in a causal or spatial context. An environmental and health risk was not detected by the risk analysis, it is not necessary to carry out remediation of the investigated area.
