Human rights and climate change litigation: should temporal imminence form part of positive rights obligations?
Authors: Bell-James Justine , Collins Briana
Published: June 2022

This article examines how the concept of temporal imminence has evolved to become a precondition to a violation of a positive human rights obligation in a number of jurisdictions. We trace the case law back to its roots, especially in the European Court of Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and find no clear rationale for its inclusion as a criterion of positive obligations in some cases, and serious divergence between cases with apparently similar facts. This analysis elucidates how temporal imminence has found its way into the recent decisions in Urgenda and Teitiota, which considered the link between climate change and positive human rights obligations. We consider how temporal imminence is a particularly inappropriate factor in climate change cases given the long-range nature of the threats. With courts across the world considering climate change and human rights arguments for the first time, we conclude with a note of caution against importing temporal imminence as an element of positive human rights obligations or otherwise introducing it. We argue that in the context of climate change, courts should avoid setting a requirement for a connection between a specific action and event, and rather, observe the wider context of alleged rights violations.
Building business, human rights and climate change synergies in Southeast Asia: what the Philippines’ National Inquiry on Climate Change could mean for ASEAN
Authors: K Phillips Sara , Anschell Nicole
Published: June 2022

Climate change has a profound impact on economic growth, development and social progress. Climate action, through greenhouse gas mitigation and adaptation to current and predicted effects of climate change, has only recently begun to consider the range of human rights implications both of action and inaction when it comes to mitigating climate impacts. While states are the primary duty bearers for the human rights of their citizens, recent examples of climate change litigation offer unique opportunities to consider the role and responsibilities of corporations for their contributions to anthropogenic climate change. The Philippines’ National Inquiry on Climate Change (NICC) offers an innovative approach to understanding the interplay and synergies between business, human rights and climate change, highlighting the increasing importance of these relationships. Building on the NICC’s preliminary findings, this article considers the nexus between business, human rights and climate change in the ASEAN context and reflects on the significance of domestic climate change litigation for regional governance approaches, policymaking and cooperation.
Incorporating climate justice into legal reasoning: shifting towards a risk-based approach to causation in climate litigation
Authors: Kelleher Orla
Published: June 2022

This article examines whether the widely accepted political theory contributions on fair burden sharing, harm avoidance and a just distribution of the remaining carbon budget can (and ought to) be incorporated or reflected in judicial reasoning on causation in systemic rights-based climate litigation. It explores whether a wider use of the European Court of Human Rights’ lenient approach to causation at the national level could help overcome some of the causal difficulties that might otherwise excuse wealthy developed country governments that are signatories to the European Convention on Human Rights from responsibility. The article also considers how rights-based arguments might be a way of operationalizing climate justice in judicial reasoning in systemic rights-based climate cases in Europe.

Authors: Bryliński Wit
Published: June 2022

Początki szkolnictwa w Tuliszkowie sięgają XV wieku. W miasteczku założono wówczas szkołę parafialną. W 1818 r. utworzono szkołę elementarną, której kres nastąpił w 1830 r. Szkołę reaktywowano w roku 1850. Po odzyskaniu przez Polskę niepodległości liczba uczęszczających do placówki dzieci stale się zwiększała. W 1921 r. pojawił się pomysł wybudowania nowego gmachu szkoły. Przez kilkanaście lat trwały poszukiwania środków finansowych na ten cel. Ostatecznie prace budowlane ruszyły w lipcu 1935 r. Budynek oddano do użytku we wrześniu 1936 r. W listopadzie 1937 r. szkole nadano imię Powstańców 1863 r. Poniższy artykuł opisuje proces budowy trwający niemal cały okres międzywojenny. Construction of the school building in Tuliszków in the interwar period. The beginnings of education in Tuliszków date back to the fifteenth century. A parish school was established at the time. In 1818, an elementary school was established, which ended in 1830. The school was reactivated in 1850. After Poland regained its independence, the number of children attending school was constantly increasing. In 1921, the idea of building a new school building appeared. For several years, searching for funds for this purpose has been ongoing. Finally, construction work began in July 1935. The building was put into use in September 1936. In November 1937, the school was named Powstańców 1863. After 1945 the building was significantly expanded.

Z Wielkopolski na Wołyń. Dokumenty ze służby policyjnej Stefana Lubańskiego (1901-1940)
Authors: Razyhrayev Oleh
Published: June 2022

Państwowego Obwodu Wołyńskiego w Łucku (Ukraina) dotyczące służby policyjnej na Wołyniu Stefana Lubańskiego, który urodził się na pocz. XX wieku we wsi Szymanowice w powiecie słupeckim. Zachowane materiały dotyczą jednego epizodu ze służby Stefana Lubańskiego, mianowicie dochodzenia z powodu oskarżenia Lubańskiego oraz jego kolegi posterunkowego Antoniego Kotasia o pobicie miejscowego mieszkańca Stefana Gorochowskiego w maju 1929 roku. Przeprowadzone dochodzenie nie potwierdziło zarzutów wobec Lubańskiego oraz dało podstawę do pociągnięcia Gorochowskiego do odpowiedzialności karnej. W końcu 1932 r. wyżej wymieniona sprawa została umorzona na mocy amnestii. Po upadku II Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej oraz zajęciu Wołynia przez Armię Czerwoną Stefan Lubański został aresztowany przez NKWD i zamordowany w kijowskim więzieniu. Pochowany na Polskim Cmentarzu Wojennym w Kijowie-Bykowni.

From Great Poland to Volynia. Documents concerning Stefan Lubański’s police service (1901-1940).

This publication presents little-known documents from the sources of the State Archive of Volyn Region in Lutsk (Ukraine) regarding the police service in Volyn of Stefan Lubański, who was born at the beginning of the XX century in the village of Szymanowice in Słupiecki province. The materials presented relate to one episode of the police service of Stefan Lubański, namely an investigation due to the accusation of Lubański and his police colleague Antoni Kotas of beating local inhabitant Stefan Gorochowski in May 1929. The investigation did not confirm the charges against Lubański and gave rise to Gorochowski being prosecuted. At the end of 1932, the abovementioned case was discontinued by amnesty. After the fall of the Second Polish Republic and the occupation of Volyn by the Red Army, Stefan Lubański was arrested by the NKVD and was murdered in a Kyiv prison. Lubański was buried at the Polish War Cemetery in Kyiv-Bykivnia.
SURVEY ON THE POTENTIALITIES OF INTEGRATED FISH FARMING,ITS ECONOMIC AND MAJOR CONSTRAINTS FACED BY THE MARGINALAND SMALL FARMERS IN SINGRAULI, MADHYA PRADESH, INDIA
Authors: Kumar Vishal , Shaw Ranjit , Chaube Radha
Published: June 2022

Increase in human population, poor economic conditions of the farmers and the increasing demand for fish, have compelled the planners, in the recent past, to adopt Integrated Fish Farming systems (IFFs) in South East Asian countries including India. IFFs refer to the production, integrated management, and comprehensive use of aquaculture, agriculture, and livestock, with an emphasis on aquaculture. Since the IFF system involves lower cost and is environment friendly, it is economically sustainable and is being freely adopted. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the economic importance of IFFs. In this study, different culture practice sites in the Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh in India were selected and a survey was conducted among the farmers with the help of a prepared questionnaire. This study was conducted in order to explore the various parameters to evaluate the potential of IFFs. Results of the assessment showed a significant potency of this integrated system in increasing the yield for the farmers. Additionally, the plausible major constraints faced by the marginal and small farmers are outlined here, to advocate for the ways to eliminate them for generating more income from this integrated system of farming.

This study was intended to assess the comparative growth and production performance in relation to different stocking densities to have better understanding on the consecutive growth 3 trends. Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry was released at the rate of 8 fry per tank (1m 3) as per the recommended stocking density of 320 fishes/decimal and 4 fry per tank equivalent to the stocking density of 160 fishes/decimal in intensive (T1 ) and semi-intensive (T2 ) aquaculture system, 1 2 respectively. Floating feed was used to evaluate the growth performance during the experimental period for T1 and T2 , respectively. There were six replications for each treatment. The feed was 1 2 supplied at the rate of 20%, 15%, and 10% of the body weight during the study period of 90 days. The weight gains of fish were 132.23±1.29 and 63.12±4.97g for T1 and T2 respectively. Feed conversion 1 2, ratio (FCR) in T1 and T2 were 2.43±0.18 and 2.13±0.20, respectively. Higher total production was 1 2 obtained in T1 (1119.52 g) than T2 (830.96 g) with 100% survival in both the treatments. The present 1 2 study indicates that, the production performance acquired higher in T1 having significant difference 1 compared to T2 and the intensive culture of Tilapia is more rational for getting more production in 2 relation to semi-intensive culture.

The indicators of phosphates in water, the content of mobile and total forms of phosphorus in bottom sediments and soils in the hydroecosystem of the agrarian territory, which is characterized by active agriculture and animal husbandry, have been determined and analyzed. It was found that the presence of the total form of phosphorus in soil, water and bottom sediments differs significantly in different months, and the mobile form, on the contrary, is the same. It indicates a significant mobility of mobile forms of phosphorus in the “soil-water-bottom” sediments system. It was found that in spring most of the total phosphorus is in the soil, and in summer and until the beginning of autumn, its share in bottom sediments increases. It was revealed that the content of phosphates in the studied hydroecosystem is determined by their migration in the “soil-water-bottom” sediments system and has a seasonal character.

The article presents the results of studies of systems with natural aeration (NAS) used for the treatment of domestic wastewater in the countries of Central Asia, both in cities and in small settlements. NAS of artificial and natural origin, with depths of 2.0-4.0 m were studied. It was shown that in their hydrological characteristics NAS are close to natural reservoirs of the lake-pond complex - eutrophic lakes. It has been established that during the operation bottom sediments accumulate in them, the greatest thickness of which is noted in the initial part of the NAS. The formation of bottom sediments occurs under anaerobic conditions with the active participation of bacterial microflora in the processes of mineralization. In terms of moisture, ash content and organic matter content, NAS bottom sediments are similar to sapropels of eutrophic lakes.

Violation of protein folding leads to the development of a number of systemic and neurodegenerative diseases-proteinopathy. In these pathologies, proteins acquire an incorrect conformation that differs from the native one, become functionally inactive, toxic, and prone to aggregation and deposition in various organs and tissues. There is a widespread hypothesis that the primary cytotoxic agents in the development of proteinopathies are protein oligomers that are prone to aggregation. These diseases include Parkinson’s disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, type 2 diabetes, and many others.

Authors:   International Sakharov Environmental Institute, Belarusian State University, Melnikova Y. I. , Laikov Y. V. ,   International Sakharov Environmental Institute, Belarusian State University
Published: June 2022

Conjugates of Pd (II) coproporphyrin I N-hydroxysuccinimide ester with ferritin-specific monoclonal antibodies of the IgG2a subclass were obtained in a one-step conjugation reaction, with antigen-binding activity increased by 3-7 times. The two-phase dependence of the functional activity of the conjugates on the depth of modification indicates the presence of two populations of modified amino groups. Modification of the more accessible ones leads to functional activation of the IgG molecule. Advantages in binding to an antigen of modified monoclonal antibodies HSF 102 compared to native monoclonal antibodies are shown.

The leading cause of human death throughout the world is atherothrombosis of various localization. The key point in the fight against this pathology is the appointment of antiplatelet agents. These drugs differ from each other in the mechanism of inhibiting platelet activity. Prasugrel, an antagonist of the thienopyridine class, is a potent inhibitor of platelet activation and aggregation mediated by platelet ADP receptors of the P2Y12 class.

Children with sonographic evidence of autoimmune thyroiditis living in Vitebsk and Minsk regions demonstrate decreased concentration of iodine and selenium in the body as compared to healthy children. Iodine concentration in healthy children is 193.7 - 203.5 gg/L, and in children having AIT - 98.7 -101.3 gg/L. Selenium concentration in the hair of healthy children is 0.38 - 0.58 gg/kg, and in children having AIT - 0.14 - 0.18 gg/kg. Healthy children demonstrate normal range of selenium and iodine concentration. Children with sonographic evidence of AIT demonstrate prominent iodine-selenium deficiency which is likely decrease the level of antioxidant protection of the body and could result in AIT development in children from different regions of Belarus.
Social Innovation in Bulgaria: an Ambiguous Concept with Fragmented Practice
Authors: Kirov Vassil
Published: June 2022

This short paper is part of a project in preparation for a White Paper addressed to the Hungarian government defining social innovation. Its aim is to add the specific experience of social innovation in Bulgaria to this discussion. The concept of social innovation has been almost absent from public debates and policy agendas in Bulgaria since the country’s European Union accession. The reasons for this are beyond the scope of this paper but certainly do deserve special attention from the academic community in the future. The paper includes a short presentation of the specific Bulgarian context, followed by a section on social innovation and a final section focusing on workplace social innovation.
Social Innovation Strategy in Hungary : An Evaluation from the Point of Welfare Provision
Authors: Sarıipek Doğa Başar
Published: June 2022

Social innovation is an effective response to changing social demands in welfare societies. By reshaping social interactions in welfare provision, it essentially aims at building a new and more participative wellbeing, namely “the enabling welfare state”, without causing any decline in welfare rights of citizens. The European Union, in this sense, started a rigorous transition process to social innovative strategies in welfare provision in the beginning of 2000s. Hungary, as an outstandingly emerging economy of its region, also launched social innovation programs to make not only the market, but also citizens, community and local authorities more active in the co-provision of welfare. Even though social innovation strategies have not spread over the whole country yet, Hungary seems to have sufficient capacity and resources to make social innovation an effective part of "co-provision of welfare" or to turn itself an “enabling welfare state” in the near future.
Labour Law Protection of Executive Employees in Hungary and Western Europe
Authors: Prugberger Tamás , Román Róbert
Published: June 2022

This article examines a specific chapter of the Hungarian Labour Code, the regulation on executive employees. The study is comparative in nature and aims to reveal the difference between the old and the new legislation. It compares changes in past and current legislation and presents the solutions used in Western European labour law to achieve the most optimal regulation of the executive status. The study also looks at what solutions, should be adopted in the field of management regulation and what would be the tasks of the legislation that would bring about the updating of labour law provisions. Such a problem does not arise in the Western European legal literature, as in countries following the unique works council system this is prevented by the legal disclosure of the hierarchical chain of executive employees, and in dual systems the dual composition of works councils, where one side is occupied by members elected by subordinate employees from among their own circle, while the other side is provided by the upper level of executive employees by delegation from the employer.
Child Interviewing in Legal Cases : A European Perspective
Authors: Torma Judit
Published: June 2022

Child interviewing in legal cases is a multidisciplinary, multiprofessional topic that has been addressed as a following realisation, that accurate and eligible oral evidence, information or confession from children can only be obtained by a specific genre of interviews. Child development experts and researchers have advocated for specialised techniques for forensic child interviewing since the 80s and 90s, along with specialised police training and practice. In the European Union the last decade could rightly be called the decade of child-friendly justice. During these ten years several legal instruments were implemented about children’s involvement in legal proceedings and their special needs and rights as a vulnerable group. This shift is reflected in national legislations, however, there is still room for improvement, especially in the everyday practices within the interrogation rooms.

This research investigates an artificial neural network for predicting the chlorophyll concentration index and the effect of different nitrogen doses on the yield, yield components of Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Plants were fertilized with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 kg da-1 nitrogen doses. The chlorophyll concentration index of each leaf was measured using a SPAD meter. The coefficient of determination values was found to be 0.99. In artificial neural network modeling, chlorophyll concentration values were estimated with SPAD readings. Artificial neural network modeling successfully described the relationship between actual chlorophyll concentration index values and predicted chlorophyll concentration index values. Agronomic parameters plant height (110.66-92.73 cm), the number of spikes per square meter (461.01-355.50), the number of seeds per spike (43.88-23.83), the weight of seed per spike (2.07-0.91 g), hectoliter weight, thousand-grain weight (43.10-35.89 g), grain yield (638.76-343.06 kg.da-1), protein contents (11.16-8.34 %), the value of sedimentation (19.40-11.94) were found statistically important.

Published: June 2022

The study investigated the mental health concerns, mental health states, and help-seeking behaviors of international graduate students by gender. Ninety-two respondents accomplished an online survey. The males’ main concerns were academics and finances while it was academics and other relationships for females. There is no significant gender difference in mental health states although, there are more males with 3-5 depression symptoms and moderate-severe anxiety. Both males and females were willing to seek help for their mental health concerns. Both males and females suggested the provision of university mental health services. Further, males added the need for better teacher/adviser-student relations while females added having social events. The depression and anxiety symptoms were higher for male master’s students and for female students who resided off-campus and have a family member/friend diagnosed with a mental health problem. Provision of appropriate university services to attend to the mental health needs of international students is necessary.
