Analysis of French Cultural Patterns: Based on Hofstede and Minkov's Theories
Authors: Xiao Lin
Published: August 2024

This analysis explores French cultural patterns through the frameworks provided by Geert Hofstede and Michael Minkov's theories. Hofstede's cultural dimensions, including Power Distance, Individualism vs. Collectivism, Masculinity vs. Femininity, and Uncertainty Avoidance, offer insights into the nuances of French societal norms and values. Additionally, Minkov's dimensions, such as Masculinity Values and Universalism Traits, provide further understanding of French cultural tendencies. The analysis reveals that France exhibits a balance between individualism and collectivism, valuing personal autonomy alongside strong social connections. Furthermore, France demonstrates a preference for lower Power Distance, flexibility in uncertainty, and a blend of masculine traits with universalistic values. Understanding these cultural dimensions is essential for effective cross-cultural communication and collaboration in a diverse global landscape.

Research on the Legal Issues of Personal Information Protection under the Civil Code
Authors: Chu Xiaojiao
Published: August 2024

The promulgation of the Civil Code marks that China's personal information protection has moved to a higher level, and the Basic Law has completed the superstructure of personal information protection. In recent years, the theoretical research and judicial practice of personal information protection in China have made great progress. However, the legislation of the Civil code defines the protection of personal information as the interests of personality rather than the rights of personality, especially in the context of the increasing infringement of personal information in the network field, this drawback will lead to the limited and scattered protection of personal information. With the human society entering the information network era, the Civil Code should separate the protection of personal information into a chapter, redefine it as the right of personality, and coordinate with the supporting rules of the protection of personal information, so as to form a personal information protection legal system dominated by the right of personal information.

As neoplasias na espécie suína são raras, sendo ocasionalmente descritas associadas a sinais clínicos e motivos para eutanásia no Brasil. Descrevem-se os aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos e anatomopatológicos dos neoplasmas em suínos no Sertão da Paraíba. Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo dos laudos de biópsia e necropsias de suínos diagnosticados com neoplasias no Laboratório de Patologia Animal da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande durante os anos 2003 a 2022. Foram diagnosticadas sete neoplasias, sendo: carcinoma de células escamosas (CCE), melanoma, nefroblastoma e o hemangiossarcoma. O CCE foi diagnosticado em três fêmeas adultas que ficavam alojados em baias com acesso ao sol, em apenas um caso o foi considerado como motivo de eutanásia. Macroscopicamente as lesões ulcerativas e crostosas possuíam diferentes localizações no dorso dos animais. O melanoma foi identificado em dois casos, ambos com idade aproximada de um ano apresentando-se como massas multifocais, solitárias, macias e enegrecidas. O hemangiossarcoma foi diagnosticado em um macho de um ano de idade com lesões nodulares ulcerativas, multilobuladas e macias. O nefroblastoma foi considerado como um achado incidental durante a inspeção no abatedouro em um caso, macroscopicamente caracterizou-se por massa tumoral multilobulada, firme, branco-amarelada, medindo 8 cm de diâmetro, aderida a cápsula renal que ao corte estendia-se até a região medular. Os neoplasmas foram considerados pouco frequentes. Contudo, os tumores mais frequentes estavam acometendo a pele com evolução das lesões de até um ano. Essa localização possibilita a associação com exposição prolongada à luz ultravioleta, fator desencadeante de neoplasias cutâneas. O acometimento de animais jovens foi comum, evidenciando uma característica epidemiológica importante dessas patologias na espécie. A realização do diagnóstico de lesões proliferativas nesses animais é importante como diferencial de condições não neoplásicas principalmente em abatedouros.

The aim of this study was to evaluate silages produced with different mixtures of melon biomass and different levels of ground corn. The experiment was conducted under a completely randomized design in factorial scheme (3 × 4), with four replications. The first factor consieted of three mixtures of plant (branch and leaf) and fruit (melon; scraps) on natural matter (NM) as follows: 0, 100 and 1000 g kg-1 fruit. The second factor consisted of the use of different amounts of ground corn (0, 50, 100 and 200 g kg-1). Experimental silos with capacity for 5 kg and density of 500 kg m-3 were used. After 90 days, the silos were opened and the evaluations were carried out. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and the means were analyzed through the Tukey’s test (fermentative losses, chemical composition, aerobic stability), Scott-Knott test (microbiology and organic acids) and regression, and were compared with a significance level of p<0.05. The best dry matter results were obtained in silages with 0, 100 and 1000 g kg-1  fruit combined with 200 g kg-1 ground corn, which averaged 289.4, 290.4 and 264.1 g kg-1, respectively. Quadratic behavior was observed for effluent losses in silages with 100 g kg-1 fruit presenting a minimum value of 46.8 e and a maximum 56.2 kg t-1 NM. Regarding the mold population count, the highest values were obtained in silages with 100 g kg-1 fruit and 50 g kg-1 ground corn. Silages with 100 and 1000 g kg-1 fruit in melon biomass and 200 g kg-1 ground corn presented superior quality indicators, characterizing these biomass mixtures as the most suitable for silage making.

The increasing expansion and the rising demand for food require a greater intensification in the production of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), and genetic improvement programs are essential to achieve this goal. In managing these programs, new genetic material is introduced after several generations of selections to reduce inbreeding and enhance genetic diversity. In this sense, analyzing the zootechnical parameters of these introductions, with an emphasis on the use of nutritional additives, is of great importance for understanding their impact on breeding programs. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the zootechnical parameters and hepatosomatic index of two genetic strains of Nile tilapia from the genetic improvement program fed with β-Glucan + Mannan oligosaccharide (βG+MOS). This study utilized a 2 × 2 factorial design containing two genetic groups and two treatments with βG+MOS (Control, 0.2%). The groups were formed from the 12th generation of the Tilamax genetic improvement program (TILAMAX) and by crossing Tilamax with an introduced test strain (CBTILAMAX). In total, 96 tilapias (31.1 ± 5.73 g) were distributed into 16 aquariums, with 6 fish per aquarium, 24 per group, and four repetitions. The experimental period lasted for 41 days, and the water parameters were measured daily and maintained under ideal conditions. The condition factor and hepatosomatic index were analyzed. Final weight, total length, and standard length were measured, and other zootechnical parameters were calculated based on these data. The condition factor showed that the fish in both groups exhibited adequate health and growth during the experiment, with no differences in strain or use of additives. Similarly, the hepatosomatic index did not differ between the groups, indicating that liver size was proportional to fish body size. Similarly, no significant differences (P>0.05) were observed for the other zootechnical parameters evaluated (initial and final total and standard lengths, final weight, total weight gain, condition factor using total and standard lengths, and specific growth rate). Based on these results, it is concluded that there were no differences between TILAMAX and CBTILAMAX related to performance and health under the effect of feeding with βG+MOS. This result is positive regarding the introduction of the test strain into the Tilamax genetic improvement program and establishes a starting point for further research that may provide greater clarity on its future effects.

Transplanting Absolute Priority in Indian Bankruptcy Law: Part I
Authors: Bose Satyajit
Published: August 2024

In 2016, India revamped its bankruptcy legislation and introduced a new framework for resolution of financially distressed businesses. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) was intended to usher in a new era of efficiency and galvanize India’s ailing bankruptcy regime. The results thus far have been mixed. One of the issues that has frequently arisen under the new regime is how to distribute the resolution proceeds amongst different classes of creditors. The doctrine evolved by courts and tribunals has been to leave any question on distribution to the discretion of the Committee of Creditors – an approach developed to insulate bankruptcy proceedings from excessive judicial interference. In this paper, which will be published across two volumes, I endeavour to show that this approach is flawed and contributes to the systemic problems afflicting the Indian bankruptcy regime. Drawing on doctrine developed in transnational bankruptcy law, I argue in favour of adopting the absolute priority rule as a fixed rule for distribution of resolution proceeds in India, which can augment value maximization and enable efficient resolution of distressed debt. Part I of this paper will trace the origins, evolution and migration of the absolute priority rule in transnational bankruptcy law. Part II, which will be published in the following volume, will make the case for transplanting absolute priority in Indian bankruptcy law.

Published: August 2024

Traditionally, a company’s financial performance indicators, such as revenue generating capacity, profit margins, and inventory turnover were the driving force behind a company’s attractiveness as an investment opportunity. The rising popularity of environmental, social and governance (‘ESG’) norms in the last decade however has seen a shift in investors’ risk appetite – investors are moving away from archaic definitions of performance indicators and assessing an investee’s impact in terms of ESG metrics.While there is clarity on what factors constitute ‘environment’ and ‘governance’ principles, the ‘social’ metric continues to remain shrouded in mystery. In this article, we discuss the factors which form the building blocks of the ‘social’ metric as well as review the yardsticks available to measure this metric, particularly from an Indian standpoint.
In-corporating Crisis: Time to Shift the UK Paradigm away from Shareholder Primacy
Authors: Underwood Peter
Published: August 2024

Shareholder primacy has reigned supreme for over a century and is considered one of the bedrock principles upon which the modern UK corporation is built. This article explores this complex evolution and argues in favour of an alternative theory for the corporation. This alternative theory is advanced because shareholder primacy is flawed in its modern-day adoption. This article deconstructs the foundations for the leading shareholder primacy model. It argues that shareholder primacy fails to recognise the corporation as an entity where wealth maximisation for shareholders is the primary goal. Moreover, the externalities that this model has resulted in are a net loss to economic and environmental welfare generally. Furthermore, shareholder primacy is based upon the ideology that shareholders are an easily identifiable ‘unit’ with one voice. This article deconstructs this as a basis to justify shareholder primacy and identifies that the wide dispersion of shareholders undermines this argument. It proposes a progressive method, the pluralist approach, to advance the ‘new’ modern corporation to affirm the corporation’s position in the market and to reduce negative externalities.

DNA fingerprinting represents a pivotal advancement in forensic science since the 1980s. Recognizing its significance, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) implemented the first law pertaining to this technology through Federal Decree by Law No. (39) of 2023, titled ‘Concerning the Regulation of the Federal DNA Fingerprinting Database’. This law came into effect on 1 November 2023. The report will delve into the concept of DNA fingerprinting and its database, focusing on the administration of the Federal DNA Fingerprinting Database and its practical applications. The discussion will cover various aspects, including the origins of biological specimens, managing biological samples preservation and execution, the retention duration of DNA fingerprinting, and the measures in place to ensure legal safeguards for genetic fingerprint databases. This brief overview endeavours to offer a concise insight into the legal framework and operational factors concerning DNA fingerprinting in the context of recent legislative changes.
