Protection of EU financial interests: EPPO’s cooperation with non-EU states
Authors:   Institute of Criminological and Sociological Research, Matić Bošković Marina
Published: December 2024

The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EEPO) is a cornerstone institution in the EU’s efforts to combat financial crimes and protect its financial interests. Its role encompasses a wide range of activities, from investigating and prosecuting financial crimes to fostering cooperation and ensuring accountability. By centralizing and coordinating efforts across member states, the EPPO significantly strengthens the EU’s ability to safeguard its financial resources and uphold the rule of law. The cooperation between the EPPO and non-EU countries, particularly candidate countries, is essential for ensuring comprehensive protection against financial crimes due to their economic ties with the EU. Sebia, as candidate country for EU membership, has a vested interest in aligning its judicial and law enforcement practices and regulations with the European Union. For the period 2021-2023, Serbia has been allocated 571 million euro under the IPA III funding for national programmes. Proper utilization and protection of these funds are vital, and cooperation with the EPPO can help in achieving this objective. Through mutual legal assistance, information sharing, capacity building, joint investigations, and preventive measures, this international collaboration is safeguarding the EU’s financial stability. The paper identifies benefits and challenges of cooperation between third countries national authorities and EPPO. The paper recognizes challenges in identification of the legal basis for cooperation with the EPPO for some of the third countries and propose options for overcoming and mitigation measures.
The Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility Across Central Eastern European Countries
Authors:   Ferenc Deák Doctoral School of the University of Miskolc, Gašparić Asea
Published: December 2024

This article examines the legal frameworks for juvenile justice across Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Poland, focusing on the minimum age of criminal responsibility (MACR), juvenile offender categorization, and applicable legal measures. While these countries share a focus on rehabilitation and developmental considerations, significant differences exist in age thresholds and the treatment of young offenders. The MACR is an ongoing issue, shaped by legal, developmental, and societal factors. Two main trends emerge: one advocates for lowering the age and imposing stricter punishments, while the other emphasizes children's rights and rehabilitation. International standards, such as those from the Committee on the Rights of the Child, promote diversion programs to avoid stigmatization, yet no global consensus exists on the MACR. Pressure to lower the MACR, as seen in Hungary and Serbia, contrasts with neuroscientific findings that full maturity occurs in the third decade of life. A holistic approach integrating legal, psychological, and developmental perspectives is essential to balance accountability, rehabilitation, and the protection of children's rights in juvenile justice systems.
Sexual corruption in Bosnia and Herzegovina – Prevalence and legal norms
Authors:   Faculty of law, University of Banja Luka, Šikman Mile , Ivić Gorica ,   Foundation United women, Banja Luka
Published: December 2024

Sexual corruption is a socially unacceptable behavior that is extremely widespread in society, while at the same time not recognized as such, nor is it directly treated by the positive legislation. The reason for such an attitude can be found in the "normalization" of these behaviors, and consequently their toleration and non-reporting to the responsible authorities. This is a global phenomenon that has a pronounced impact on women and other vulnerable groups, and as such is also present in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The first question that arises is how widespread this phenomenon is and the ways in which it can be determined. The second question concerns the legal regulation of sexual corruption in the positive legislation, more precisely looking at provisions that already exist in the laws in BiH. In addition, the objective of this analysis is to examine the possibility of integrating the concept of sexual corruption into relevant laws and policies, while establishing a clear distinction compared to other forms of sexual violence. In this way, the awareness of the harmfulness of the mentioned behavior would be raised and the attitude adopted that no one is obliged to suffer sexual corruption and "exercise their rights" or "avoid harmful consequences" in that way.
Is there a Good Antithrombotic Treatment after Six Months of Anticoagulation for a Non-Cirrhotic Portal Vein Thrombosis?
Authors:   AFO MEDICA, Department of Internal Medicine, P.O. S.M. Delle Grazie Pozzuoli, ASL NA” North, Naples, Italy, Micco P Di
Published: December 2024

International guidelines divide liver vein thrombosis in sovrahepatic
vein thrombosis and portal vein thrombosis. Furthermore, PVT
may be divided in thrombosis in chronic liver diseases and nonchronic liver disease. Patients with chronic liver disease have also
an associated bleeding risk during treatment with AVK or LMWH.
Yet, studies on secondary anti thrombotic treatment after first 6
months of treatment are lacking in literature.
We observed main clinical outcomes after 6 and 12 months of
anticoagulations in 6 patients with PVT non associated to chronic
liver disease.
Any type of anti-thrombotic treatment after 6 months of regular
anticoagulation were recorded in all patients.
Recurrent thrombosis, major bleedings, clinically relevant
bleedings, and progressive occult bleeding requiring blood
transfusion were recorder together to death for any reason.
5/6 patients took aspirin without any type of recurrent thrombosis
or any type of bleedings. 4/6 were jak2 positive. 1/6 did not
take any type of treatment and was jak2 negative. 1/6 showed
progressive occult bleeding requiring transfusion.
Aspirin seems to be a good option to prevent recurrent thrombosis
in patients with PVT not associated to liver disease. Our small
cohort revealed good efficacy and safety.

A Rare Case of Dizzines
Authors:   U O C Internal Medicine and Emergency Department, “A. Guerriero” Hospital Marcianise University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”, Italy, Carmine Nasta
Published: December 2024

Case History: Female patient, 50 yrs, came to ED for
vertiginous syndrome and weight loss. She reported gradual
postural instability, dizziness and vomiting for about three
months. Headache and dizziness persisted, so she carried out
haematochemical examination and brain CT scan without contrast
medium, which showed multiple areas of tissue hypodensity
surrounded by digitiform oedema suspicious for metastasis.
Assuming a metastatic oncological pathology, she was admitted
to Internal Medicine department for further investigation: new
haematochemical examinations, which showed lymphocytopenia
(400 u/L), oncomarkers dosage and total body CT scan with
contrast medium. Due to the lymphocytopenia, haematochemical
tests to exclude an infectious origin of brain lesions, were needed.
It resulted positive for HIV-Ab and IgG for Cytomegalovirus
and toxoplasma. CT images were reassessed and considering
HIV-Ab positivity, the suspicion of Toxoplasma gondii brain
abscesses was raised. So, she started empirical antibiotic therapy
with Cotrimoxazole, carried out an MRI and then transferred to the
Infectious Diseases Department, where after 10 days of empirical
antibiotic treatment, she started HAART therapy.
Discussion: T. gondii is a parasite that can infect humans in various
ways including ingestion of raw meat or water contaminated with
cat faeces. Toxoplasmosis in HIV-positive patients is usually a
consequence of reactivation of the parasite’s tissue cysts, and
cerebral toxoplasmosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality
in HIV-infected patients.
Nuclear Waste Management
Authors:   Bapuji Institute of Engineering and Technology, Davangere, Karnataka, India, M B Gagana
Published: December 2024

In recent years waste management has become a huge challenge to the global community. Nuclear waste which has radioactive components is causing
a tough challenge to dispose of. In various countries, they have adopted methods like dumping the waste in sealing cans and burying it underground or
below the sea bed which is very harmful to the environment and habitats. The radioactive waste has to be treated but without human handling. So we can
do it with the help of AIML and data science, where we can program the machinery to carry out the neutralizing process. As there is remains of radiation
in the nuclear waste we can use it to form energy resources. Though it’s very hard to manage we still haven’t found the safest way and the current measures
taken to dispose are very uncertain and do not ensure complete safety. Why bury it when we can convert it into some form of energy or useful resource?.

Denotative and Connotative Meaning for Word “Basar” in Sahih Bukhari
Authors: Ghafar Norfarhana Ahmad , Ahmad Hishomudin , Ghazali Norzulaili Mohd , Hajib Zainal Abidin
Published: December 2024

Meaning is a fundamental element in effective text understanding. Ability to decipher the meaning within a text is crucial for ensuring accurate comprehension, especially within religious texts such as the Quran and Prophetic Hadiths. While many studies focus on Quranic semantics, research on word meanings in Hadith texts remains relatively underexplored. This study seeks to examine the denotative and connotative meanings of the word basara and its derivatives in Sahih Bukhari. The aim is to distinguish the literal (denotative) meanings of basara and its derivatives from their contextual (connotative) meanings within Sahih Bukhari. This study uses secondary data from Sahih Bukhari, gathering Qauli Hadiths that contain the word basara and its derivatives. Findings show that basara and its derivatives not only refer to physical sight but also convey meanings related to spiritual insight, wisdom, and awareness, depending on the context. These connotations emphasize the depth of meaning in the language of the Prophet, often transcending literal interpretations. The study concludes that the connotative dimension of basara significantly enriches its interpretation, providing a deeper understanding of concepts related to knowledge and perception in Islam. This research contributes to the fields of semantic stylistics and Islamic studies by elucidating the nuanced semantic fields at work within religious discourse.
Process Protocol for Prevention through Design (PTD) Implementation in Malaysian Construction Industry – A Concept Paper
Authors: Yusoff Nur Nilam Sari Md , Mohd Norhazren Izatie , Ariffin Hamizah Liyana Tajul
Published: December 2024

The construction industry is among the most hazardous sectors globally, with high rates of accidents, fatalities, and occupational illnesses often stemming from unsafe workplaces, flawed design decisions, and fragmented procurement practices during the pre-construction phase. To address these risks, Malaysia’s Twelfth Malaysia Plan (2021–2025) introduced the Occupational Safety and Health (Construction Work) (Design and Management) Regulations 2024, emphasizing the integration of Prevention through Design (PtD) principles. The Regulations assign clear roles and responsibilities to stakeholders, including designers, contractors, and clients, to prioritize safety throughout the construction lifecycle. However, awareness and understanding of the PtD concept embedded in the Regulations remain limited due to the early stage of its enforcement, and research on PtD implementation under the CDM Regulations 2024 is scarce. This study explores current PtD practices in the construction industry, identifies legal requirements under the CDM Regulations 2024, and highlights issues arising from PtD implementation. A content analysis was conducted using a systematic literature review methodology guided by the PRISMA framework, analyzing 40 relevant articles. The findings reveal four main categories of PtD implementation issues: unresolved legal and contractual barriers, lack of awareness, procurement challenges, and industry culture. Subcategories include coordination, cost and time, liability, policy, lack of knowledge, fragmented procurement systems, and the inherent nature of the industry. By advancing understanding of PtD responsibilities and implementation strategies, this study contributes to improving occupational safety and health practices within Malaysia’s construction industry, fostering sustainable and safe construction environments. The findings emphasize the need for a structured process protocol in future studies to clarify stakeholder duties, address contractual ambiguities, and cultivate a culture of safety-driven project management.

This study traced the graduates of the BS in Criminology program from a Criminology School in Davao City, covering the School Years 2013-2017. It utilized a descriptive survey method, with 154 graduates selected as respondents through random sampling. The research adopted the BS in Criminology Tracer Study Questionnaire developed by CHED and revised by Licudine et al. (2010) as its instrument. Data collection was conducted using two methods: face-to-face distribution and online distribution via Google Forms. For statistical analysis, frequency and percentage were used. The results indicated that the majority of participants were single males who graduated in 2017 and resided in the urban area of Davao del Sur. Most graduates had passed the Licensure Examination for Criminologists, while a few were enrolled in a Master of Science in Criminal Justice (MSCJ) program. Additionally, many graduates completed training in the Public Safety Basic Recruit Course (PSBRC) for professional development. Regarding employment data, most graduates were currently employed by the Philippine National Police, citing salaries and benefits as key reasons for remaining in their positions. They were walk-in applicants and found employment within 1-6 months after graduation. Graduates believed that modern facilities, competent faculty, and student communication skills could enhance the school's competitive edge. As a result of this research, a Criminology Educational Plan was developed.

Den lovlige trolovelse
Authors: Ingesman Per
Published: December 2024

Kong Frederik II udstedte i 1582 en omfattende ægteskabsforordning, der gjorde trolovelse obligatorisk i Danmark (og Norge). Hvis et par ville giftes, skulle de først troloves i nærværelse af en præst og mindst fem vidner. Denne artikel undersøger baggrunden for indførelsen af obligatorisk trolovelse. Det sker igennem en detaljeret undersøgelse af de domme i ægteskabssager, som findes i en retsprotokol fra domkapitlet i Lund 1577–1579, og som omfatter 33 tilfælde af omstridte trolovelser. I mange tilfælde blev trolovelser anfægtet, fordi der ikke havde været tale om nogen formel trolovelse, hvor slægtninge og andre vidner havde været til stede, og hvor der var udvekslet trolovelsesgaver. Sådanne uformelle trolovelser var normal praksis, når en mand trolovede en enke, og de udgjorde et problem for domkapitlet, hvis det skulle afsige domme i sådanne sager. Der opstod også problemer, fordi trolovelser kunne indgås på visse betingelser: for eksempel når en enke lovede at gifte sig med en mand, hvis han ville overtage og leje hendes fæstegård af godsejeren.
Problemerne med at dømme i sådanne sager var særlig store, fordi protestantisk ægteskabsret efter reformationen opretholdt en regel fra middelalderens kanoniske ægteskabsret, som sagde, at hvis en trolovelse blev efterfulgt af samleje, så var der etableret et gyldigt ægteskab. Det mest grundlæggende problem var dog, at dansk verdslig ret ikke havde et enkelt, sikkert kriterium, der definerede, hvornår en trolovelse var gyldig. Som følge heraf var de traditionelle former for trolovelse reguleret af sædvaneretslige regler, hvoraf den mest almindelige var, at der skulle udveksles trolovelsesgaver.
Ægteskabsforordningen af 1582 fastslog som sagt, at en gyldig trolovelse krævede tilstedeværelse af en præst og mindst fem vidner. Efter at have foretaget en detaljeret undersøgelse af protokollen fra 1577–1579 giver jeg i artiklen en mere kursorisk undersøgelse af en senere retsprotokol fra domkapitlet i Lund, der dækker årene 1589–1597. I denne protokol dukker et nyt begreb op, nemlig en lovlig trolovelse. Af dommene i denne senere retsprotokol fremgår klart, at trolovelser kun var gyldige, såfremt de blev foretaget i nærværelse af en præst – kravet i ægteskabsforordningen om mindst fem vidner ses ikke tillagt nogen betydning af domkapitlet i Lund. Artiklen konkluderer derfor, at tilstedeværelsen af en præst efter 1582 var en uomgængelig forudsætning for en gyldig trolovelse.

English is said to have a rich repository of lexical items. The continuous enrichment of the English vocabulary with new words from various fields such as social media may create challenges for students in learning English successfully as a foreign language. The noticeable lexical abundance of English may be attributed to a variety of productive word formation processes such as clipping, blending and conversion, the latter known as the process whereby a term belonging to a specific grammatical category is used with different syntactic functions without requiring a change in its form. The current paper has conversion as its focus being one of the most productive word formation processes in English. It intends to analyse and classify the most important types of conversion in social media language stressing the importance of learning this word formation technique for the learners of English and non-native English speakers who strive to improve their vocabulary and the overall command of the language. The examples in this study come from social media online dictionaries to justify the productivity of conversion in English. The collected examples were also used to draw attention to the fact that social media represents excellent opportunities for language learners to obtain linguistic input and output more effectively.
Tarefas de educação financeira: uma revisão sistemática integrativa de artigos científicos brasileiros (2010-2020)
Authors: Oliveira Fernanda , Damm Zogaib Simone , Magno Ouro Filho Abimael , Neves Almeida Rafael
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo geral analisar os artigos sobre tarefas de educação financeira, coletados nas bases de dados da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) e Google Acadêmico, com recorte temporal de 2010 a 2020. Decorre de um estudo de natureza bibliográfica com base na metodologia da revisão sistemática integrativa, com se seguintes fases: identificação do tema e a seleção da questão da pesquisa; critérios de exclusão e inclusão; identificação dos estudos pré-selecionados e selecionados; categorização dos estudos; análise e interpretação dos dados, por meio da estatística descritiva. Tem-se como resultado a ideia de que apesar da vasta disseminação do termo Educação Financeira, as produções científicas sobre tarefas de educação financeira começaram a ser produzidas de forma vagarosa e oscilante no ano de 2013, com maior foco nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental e em tarefas que envolvam rodas de conversa, contação de história e exercícios matemáticos. Conclui-se que a educação financeira deve transcender a educação engessada e buscar uma educação focalizada na formação de educandos conscientes e autônomos financeiramente.
How Problem Gambling Shapes Activities of Daily Living: A Narrative Inquiry
Authors: Carranza Jazmin , Fossella Noelle , McLuhan Arthur , Matheson Flora I.
Published: December 2024

Importance: People experiencing addiction often face difficulties completing their activities of daily living (ADLs). Little research exists on how problem gambling (PG)—a serious public health issue—intersects with ADLs.

Objective: To explore how PG shapes a person’s ADLs.

Design: This was a qualitative study that used narrative inquiry. We conducted 12 qualitative interviews with people experiencing PG and administered the Problem Gambling Severity Index and a sociodemographic questionnaire.

Setting: Virtual interviews via Zoom for Healthcare.

Participants: Canadian adults (N = 12) ages 23–32 yr. The majority identified as male, Black, college or university educated, and employed, with an income of ≥CAD$40,000. They self-identified as experiencing PG; were actively gambling, either online or land based; were of legal age to gamble; were able to participate in an English interview; and had access to email. Convenience and purposive sampling were used.

Outcomes and Measures: No outcomes are reported because of the exploratory nature of the study.

Results: Four main themes, each with its own set of subthemes, emerged in the analysis: (1) the activity of gambling, (2) social influence, (3) gambling overtakes all ADLs, and (4) mental health.

Conclusions and Relevance: Occupational therapists are well positioned to help clients with addictive behaviors. This study has the potential to inform occupational therapy practitioners who work with people experiencing PG.

Positionality Statement: The two primary researchers (Jazmin Carranza and Noelle Fossella) have limited personal and academic experience with PG. Their educational backgrounds include a master of science in occupational therapy (Carranza and Fossella) and bachelor’s of science, with honors, in psychology (Fossella), biology (Carranza), and neuroscience (Carranza). All authors recognize the potential biases our life experiences may bring to our research, and we have endeavored to provide a true representation of the information the participants shared with us.

Plain-Language Summary: This study was conducted to better understand how the experience of problem gambling—a recognized public health issue—can change people’s daily routines and activities. Findings from the experiences shared by participants indicate that problem gambling has a notable effect on the activities in which people participate and on how they engage in these activities. Social networks and mental health also were described as being affected by the experience of problem gambling. These results suggest that the potential exists for occupational therapists to use their expertise to help people with gambling problems engage in activities that are meaningful to them.

Catfish is a fish that is currently in great demand among Indonesian people. Catfish are nocturnal fish that are active at night and are also omnivorous or eat everything. Catfish is a fish that can consume food from plants such as vegetables and trash fish as well as other food ingredients, one of which is chicken manure. The nutritional content of chicken manure can be substituted in making catfish feed so that the use of chicken manure for fish feed can be done. In this study, 4 treatments were made with 3 repetitions, namely A1 (control), A2 (10%), A3 (15%) and A4 (20%). The highest protein content was obtained in treatment A4 (20%) with a value of 32.40%. The best daily growth results were obtained in treatment A2 (10%) which was 3.80 cm and was the highest value compared to the daily growth value in the control. The best survival rate results were obtained in treatment A3 (15%), namely 99.33%. The best feed efficiency was obtained in treatment A2 (10%), namely 97.70% and the highest survival value was obtained in this treatment. From the results of the research that has been carried out, it was found that the best treatment is the use of chicken manure in treatment A2, namely the use of 10% manure in additional feed for catfish farming fish, so that the use of 10% chicken manure in 1 kg of feed can increase growth and feed efficiency in fish farming catfish.
