Απελευθέρωση της αγοράς ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας και προστασία των καταναλωτών στην Ευρωπαϊκή και Ελληνική έννομη τάξη
Authors: Ζησιού Αγγελική
Published: January 2022

Σήμερα, η νέα δέσμη μέτρων του Χειμερινού Πακέτου με σκοπό τον μετασχηματισμό των αγορών ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας αποτελεί πραγματικότητα θέτοντας την Ενεργειακή Ένωση αλλά και την Ευρώπη στον σωστό δρόμο για να καταστεί ευημερούσα, σύγχρονη, ανταγωνιστική και ουδέτερη από κλιματική άποψη οικονομία. Η παρούσα μελέτη διαρθρώνεται σε δύο μέρη. Στο πρώτο μέρος εξετάζεται η διαδικασία απελευθέρωσης του τομέα της ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας και στο δεύτερο η προστασία των ενεργειακών καταναλωτών, τόσο στην ευρωπαϊκή όσο και στην ελληνική έννομη τάξη.Ειδικότερα, το πρώτο μέρος αποσκοπεί στη διερεύνηση και στην παρουσίαση του νομοθετικού πλαισίου που ακολούθησε η διαδικασία απελευθέρωσης του τομέα της ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας. Μέσα από μία ενδελεχή χρονολογική παρουσίαση του πολύπλοκου νομοθετικού συστήματος που καλύπτει το εγχείρημα της απελευθερωτικής διαδικασίας του τομέα της ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας, φωτίζονται όλες οι πτυχές και οι παράμετροι που συνετέλεσαν προ τούτο. Ακολούθως, διαγράφεται η πορεία από την απελευθέρωση στην διασύνδεση των αγορών καθώς το κοινό όραμα της δημιουργίας μιας ενιαίας αγοράς ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας δίνει συνέχεια στην απελευθερωτική διαδικασία.Το δεύτερο μέρος της παρούσας μελέτης επικεντρώνεται στις ρυθμιστικές αλλαγές που η δέσμη του Χειμερινού Πακέτου προωθεί με γνώμονα την πληρέστερη προστασία των ενεργειακών καταναλωτών. Εκκινώντας από τη διερεύνηση του ρόλου των καταναλωτών στη ρύθμιση των αγορών και συγκεκριμένα ως το όχημα που συμβάλει στην εύρυθμη λειτουργία τους, παρακολουθείται η εξελικτική πορεία της έννοιας των ενεργειακών καταναλωτών αλλά και ο ρόλος που καλούνται να προσλάβουν μετά τις ρυθμιστικές αλλαγές του Χειμερινού Πακέτου. Συγκεκριμένα, όλες οι νέες ρυθμίσεις κωδικοποιούνται στη νέα Οδηγία για την ηλεκτρική ενέργεια η οποία ενισχύει τα ήδη υπάρχοντα δικαιώματα των καταναλωτών, συστήνει μία σειρά νέων δικαιωμάτων και κυρίως στοχεύει στον μετασχηματισμό των ενεργειακών καταναλωτών ώστε να προσλάβουν την έννοια του «ενεργού πελάτη» με παράλληλη άρση των εμποδίων για την ολοκλήρωση της εσωτερικής αγοράς ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας. Επιπλέον, παρουσιάζεται η προστασία των ενεργειακών καταναλωτών στην ελληνική έννομη τάξη ενώ ταυτόχρονα απεικονίζονται και τα παράπονα που εκφράζουν οι καταναλωτές ενέργειας.Η πολιτική βούληση αλλά και η ρυθμιστική απεικόνιση στη δέσμη μέτρων του Χειμερινού Πακέτου για τη μετατροπή των καταναλωτών σε φορείς της ενεργειακής μετάβασης, συμπλέει απόλυτα με την τεχνολογική επανάσταση και την ψηφιοποίηση της ενέργειας (digitalization and digital energy) εξοπλίζοντας τους καταναλωτές όχι μόνο με νομοθετικές εξαγγελίες αλλά και με απτές λύσεις. Ωστόσο, η συνεχώς αυξανόμενη ψηφιοποίηση του ενεργειακού τομέα εγείρει και κανονιστικά ζητήματα. Η αναδυόμενη τεχνολογία Blockchain, επιχειρεί να οριοθετήσει τη ρύθμιση τέτοιων ζητημάτων και για το λόγο αυτό η λειτουργία της διερευνάται στα πλαίσια της παρούσας μελέτης ως μια προοπτική ενίσχυσης των ενεργών πελατών σε αυτή την τάση ψηφιοποίησης του ενεργειακού τομέα.
Parallelised Bayesian optimisation for deep learning

Η εκπαίδευση σε βαθιά νευρωνικά δίκτυα (ΒΝΔ) είναι μια απαραίτητη διαδικασία στη μηχανική μάθηση. Η διαδικασία εκπαίδευσης των ΒΝΔ στοχεύει στη βελτιστοποίηση των τιμών των παραμέτρων του δικτύου, που συχνά βασίζεται στην παράγωγο των λογαριθμικών πιθανοτήτων των παραμέτρων. Ως εκ τούτου, είναι πολύ πιθανό η διαδικασία βελτιστοποίησης να βρει τοπικές βέλτιστες τιμές αντί για καθολικές. Επιπλέον, οι συμβατικές προσεγγίσεις που χρησιμοποιούνται για αυτή τη διαδικασία, όπως οι μέθοδοι Μαρκοβιανής αλυσίδας Μόντε Κάρλο, όχι μόνο προσφέρουν μη βέλτιστη απόδοση χρόνου εκτέλεσης, αλλά επίσης αποτρέπουν την αποτελεσματική παραλληλοποίηση λόγω εγγενών εξαρτήσεων στη διαδικασία. Σε αυτή τη διατριβή, εξετάζουμε μια εναλλακτική προσέγγιση στις μεθόδους Μαρκοβιανής αλυσίδας Μόντε Κάρλο (Markov Chain Monte Carlo, MCMC), τον δειγματολήπτη ακολουθιακών Μόντε Κάρλο (Sequential Monte Carlo, SMC), ο οποίος γενικεύει τα φίλτρα σωματιδίων (particle filters). Πιο συγκεκριμένα, η διατριβή εστιάζει στη βελτίωση της απόδοσης και της ακρίβειας των μεθόδων SMC, ιδιαίτερα στο πλαίσιο της πλήρους Μπεϋζιανής μάθησης. Σε αυτό το πλαίσιο, η διατριβή προτείνει μια νέα μέθοδο εκπαίδευσης νευρωνικών δικτύων χρησιμοποιώντας τις μεθόδους σημαντικής δειγματοληψίας (μέθοδος importance sampling) και επαναδειγματοληψίας. Η αρχική σύγκριση των δύο μεθόδων αποκαλύπτει ότι η προτεινόμενη μεθοδολογία είναι χειρότερη τόσο στην ακρίβεια όσο και στην απόδοση. Αυτό οδήγησε την έρευνα να επικεντρωθεί στην βελτίωση της απόδοσης και ακρίβειας της προτεινόμενης μεθοδολογίας. Η ανάλυση απόδοσης ξεκίνησε με την εφαρμογή μιας νέας προτεινόμενης, παράλληλης και πλήρως κατανεμημένης μεθοδολογίας επαναδειγματοληψίας, με βελτιωμένη χρονική πολυπλοκότητα από την αρχική προσέγγιση χρησιμοποιώντας δύο πλαίσια MapReduce, το Hadoop και το Spark. Τα αποτελέσματα δείχνουν ότι το Spark είναι έως και 25 φορές ταχύτερο από το Hadoop, ενώ στο Spark η νέα προτεινόμενη μεθοδολογία είναι έως και 10 φορές ταχύτερη από την αρχική μέθοδο. Ωστόσο, παρατηρείται ότι η εφαρμογή του ίδιου αλγορίθμου στο Message Passing Interface (MPI) παρέχει σημαντικά καλύτερους χρόνους εκτέλεσης και είναι πιο κατάλληλος για τον προτεινόμενο αλγόριθμο. Η ανάλυση ακρίβειας ξεκίνησε με πειράματα που δείχνουν ότι ο βασικός δειγματολήπτης SMC παρέχει χειρότερη ακρίβεια από τους εναλλακτικούς ή ανταγωνιστικούς αλγόριθμους MCMC. Τρεις διαφορετικές στρατηγικές εφαρμόζονται στον βασικό δειγματολήπτη SMC παρέχοντας καλύτερη ακρίβεια. Η ανάλυση επεκτείνεται για να συμπεριλάβει ανταγωνιστικούς αλγόριθμους. Η εξαντλητική αξιολόγηση δείχνει ότι η προτεινόμενη προσέγγιση προσφέρει ανώτερη απόδοση και ακρίβεια.

Regards Saint-simoniens sur la Grèce insurgée: l’éphémère Producteur (1825–1826)
Authors: Provata Despina
Published: January 2022

La parution du Producteur (1825–1826), publié par les disciples de Saint-Simon au lendemain de la mort du maître, commence dans un climat hautement philhellene marqué par la fondation du Comité Grec de Paris. Bien qu’il fût un journal de doctrine, Le Producteur n’est pas resté à l’écart du mouvement qui s’était emparé de la presse française. Il consacre à la Grèce une série d’articles entre 1825 et 1826 dans lesquels sont évoqués les aspects économiques et intellectuels du pays assujetti qui intéressent particulièrement les saint-simoniens et sont présentées des manifestations philhellènes, comme des représentations théâtrales inspirées par la grèce ou les souscriptions en faveur des Grecs. C’est enfin le témoignage personnel d’un des fondateurs du journal, Etienne-Marin Bailly, parti en Grèce dans une mission du Comité de Paris qui apporte aux lecteurs du Producteur des informations plus concrètes sur la situation réelle du pays insurgé.
Thinking Europe on Europe’s margins: Alexander Sturdza, Konstantinos Oikonomos and Russian-Greek orthodoxy in the early nineteenth century
Authors: Dialla Ada
Published: January 2022

This article seeks to examine the construction of the notion of Europe not from a West–East perspective but from a more complex geographical and conceptual vantage point, including the north and the south in relation to the West and East and, more specifically, from the point of view of the Ggreek orthodox and Russian worlds in the postnapoleonic era. Following the political, religious and intellectual activity of two expatriates and close friends, Alexander Sturdza and Konstantinos Oikonomos, it explores how the idea of Europe was visited and how these two intellectuals and politicians negotiated and renegotiated to what extent their respective communities (Russian and Greek) were part of Europe, with religion as the central axis and the notions of the Orthodox world and Orthodox East in the arsenal of both. The first decades of the nineteenth century brought Russia and the Greeks to the forefront of the European scene. First, Russia, in the wake of its military campaigns against Napoleon’s empire (1812–1814), at the Congress of Vienna (1814–1815) found itself in a leading position in European politics and as the pacesetter in the elaboration of the idea of a united Europe. a little later, the Greek struggle for independence, the first protracted successful national struggle in Europe, raised the principle of nationalities (as national self-determination was called in the nineteenth century) for the first time as one to be reckoned with in Europe. as i argue, in the early nineteenth century the rise of Russian power provided fertile ground to challenge the idea of the secondary character of Eastern Orthodoxy in comparison to the Latin West and of the Eastern peripheral character of both Russia and Greece, and to elaborate the idea of the cultural and political equality of West and East.
Nationalism and religion: Historical aspects of the relationship
Authors: Kyriakantonakis Ioanni
Published: January 2022

Religion and nationalism are conventionally considered as the forces par excellence that have shaped, respectively, the traditional and modern worlds. This article presents the eclectic affinities between religion and nationalism, but it also goes beyond the historical dichotomy of religious pre-modernity versus nationalist modernity. It suggests that their relationship is not one-dimensional, rejecting the idea that nationalism is constructed solely with modern fabrics while religion only relates to the context of traditional society. Rather, it argues that the relationship between tradition and modernity is a dynamic one; this builds on a methodological framework that makes use of varied and even opposing theories of nationalism. The relationship is studied in different national and confessional contexts and eras, but it is mainly the association of Greek ethnicity/ nationalism and Orthodox Christianity that provides the empirical evidence for the theoretical argumentation.
Myth or history? Ancient Greek mythology in Paparrigopoulos’ History of the Hellenic nation: controversies, influences and implications
Authors: Konaris Michael D.
Published: January 2022

This article examines the treatment of Greek mythology in Paparrigopoulos’ History of the Hellenic nation (1860–1874) in the light of contemporary Western European historiography. The interpretation of Greek myths was highly contested among nineteenth-century scholars: could myths be used as historical sources or were they to be dismissed as figments of imagination devoid of historical value? did they express in allegorical form sublime religious doctrines that anticipated Christianity, or did they attest to the Greeks’ puerile notions about the gods? The article investigates how Paparrigopoulos positioned himself with respect to these questions, which had major consequences for one’s view of early Greek history and the relation between ancient Greek culture and christianity, and his stance towards traditional and novel methods of myth interpretation such as euhemerism, symbolism, indo-european comparative mythology and others. it explores how Paparrigopoulos’ approach differs from those encountered in earlier modern Greek historiography, laying stress on his attempt to study Greek myths “scientifically” on the model of Grote and the implications this had. in addition, the article considers Paparrigopoulos’ wider account of ancient Greek religion’s relation to Christianity and how this affected the thesis of the continuity of Greek history.
Military policy and infrastructure: the role of the Engineer Corps in nineteenth-century Greece
Authors: Malesis Dimitris
Published: January 2022

This article describes the role of the military, particularly the Engineer Corps, in the building of the Greek state in the nineteenth century through the construction of the necessary infrastructure. after the assassination of the first leader of the country in September 1831 and the ensuing civil war, the European Powers selected the Bavarian Prince Othon as the country’s first king. The priority of the new royal authority was the imposition of order and the consolidation of political power in his hands. Moreover, it was also necessary to carry out basic infrastructure projects to enable the state to function properly. This role was taken up by the Engineer Corps, which accomplished remarkable work in the construction of public buildings, roads, ports, etc. The first officers of the corps were Bavarians, who had accompanied Othon to Greece. With their experience, they laid down the operational basis of the Greek state. Othon’s government (1833–1862) faced numerous difficulties, the economic hardship of a small state being the major one. furthermore, the need to counteract the bandit gangs that dominated the countryside and undermined the central authority was paramount. large infrastructure projects were implemented in the last quarter of the century, inspired by Prime Minister Harilaos Trikoupis’ agenda to improve the country’s unity. however, major national problems, such as the Macedonian and Cretan questions, as well as the growing competition with and surges of nationalism in the other Balkan states, forced Greece’s leaders to undertake costly military mobilisations, thus restricting the modernisation project. however, the engineer corps achieved its mission. staffed with skilled and well-trained officers, as well as engineers and professors from the Military Academy (Evelpidon), the remarkable work of the corps is still visible.
From the play to the event: Delineating phenomena of theatrical activity in Greece at the turn of the twenty-first century
Authors: Mavromoustakos Platon
Published: January 2022

Attempting a general overview, this article may be understood as a preliminary requisite towards a more systematic study of theatrical activity in Greece since the turn of the twenty-first century. At the heart of this approach lies the fundamental shift from the dramatic play to the performance event, which has taken place both in theatre practice and theatre studies since the 1960s. The hypothesis underlying this study is that in Greek theatre the transition commenced after the reestablishment of democracy, becoming more broadly evident in this century. Some of the main points discussed are the profile of the new generation of theatre creators, the role of some major theatrical events and organisations, institutional transformations, new forms of collectivity in theatrical activity, the persistent demand for extroversion, dramatic production and its links to the stage.
Eugenic Concerns, Population Policies and Puericulture in Interwar Greece
Authors: Theodorou Vassiliki , Karakatsani Despina
Published: January 2022

The scientific origins and the development of eugenic and racial theoriesformulated by physicians, jurists and intellectuals since the early twentieth century have only recently attracted scholarly attention. However, the dissemination of eugenic measures regarding the social policy that Greek interwar governments implemented to protect the health of mothers and children still remains an underresearched topic. Our contribution presents the main points of the discussion about the relation of eugenics and puericulture and traces its development among paediatricians in the 1920s and 1930s. It further looks into the stakes, the ambivalent attitude and the eugenic proposals of both liberal and authoritarian governments concerning the protection of childhood and motherhood as well as into their respective demographic policies during the interwar period.

Management by Development of Innovative Potential of Organization
Authors: Borisov A. , Shelonaev S. , Trofimova T. , Rasina M.
Published: January 2022

This article explores the innovation potential of the staff at industrial enterprises. The relevance of the research is confirmed by the increasing interest of companies in innovation. This manifests itself both in the changing organizational structure of enterprises and a new approach to human resource management, for instance, the revision of the key performance indicators of employees.

One of the main goals of the research was determining the factors that influence the development of the innovation potential of staff and assessment of their impact.

The institutional approach formed the conceptual basis of the study. It allowed the authors to consider the management of innovation potential as a special mechanism for achieving sustainability, stable development of an enterprise, and its strategic success in general.

The authors established that organizational and administrative factors have the greatest influence on the formation and development of the innovation potential of staff, while the constraining factors are the lack of an innovative strategy, authoritarian management style, and bureaucratization.

Studying the techniques aimed at the development of staff’s innovation potential, the authors concluded that the most effective ones for industrial enterprises are consultations of subject matter specialists.

A significant novelty of this work is the model of interaction of participants in the innovation process developed by the authors.

The research findings enabled the authors to devise recommendations for the formation and development of the innovation potential of the company’s employees.

Japanese encephalitis is a serious vector borne viral zoonotic disease, particularly in Asia and Northern Australia. In Nepal, JE cases were reported in 63 out of 75 districts up until the year 2005. The aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) toward JE and associated factors. A structured questionnaire was used to gather information on the KAP of people in endemic areas. Accordingly, 397 respondents demonstrated a desirable attitude, while half of the population exhibited desirable knowledge and practices. Age was found to be a significant factor for knowledge, wherein the senior population had better awareness of the vectors of JE. Moreover, education and occupation were found to be significant factors for KAP scores with an increase in level of education leading to an increase in desirable characteristics. This study determined that the characteristics of the surrounding environment were prominent factors. A significant number of people were not aware of the JE vaccine even though the government has made it available to most of the population of Nepal. Thus, more effective awareness programs should be implemented to increase the KAP of the population with regard to JE.
Do radiological findings around the Fitmore stem change over time?
Authors: Fujii Hideki , Hayama Tetsuo , Abe Toshiomi , Takahashi Motoi , Amagami Ayano , Matsushita Yohei , Otani Takuya , Saito Mitsuru
Published: January 2022

Aims

Although the short stem concept in hip arthroplasty procedure shows acceptable clinical performance, we sometimes get unexplainable radiological findings. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate changes of radiological findings up to three years postoperatively, and to assess any potential contributing factors on such radiological change in a Japanese population.

Methods

This is a retrospective radiological study conducted in Japan. Radiological assessment was done in accordance with predetermined radiological review protocol. A total of 241 hips were included in the study and 118 hips (49.0%) revealed radiological change from immediately after surgery to one year postoperatively; these 118 hips were eligible for further analyses. Each investigator screened whether either radiolucent lines (RLLs), cortical hypertrophy (CH), or atrophy (AT) appeared or not on the one-year radiograph. Further, three-year radiographs of eligible cases were reviewed to determine changes such as, disappeared (D), improved (I), stable (S), and progression (P). Additionally, bone condensation (BC) was assessed on the three-year radiograph.

Results

CH was observed in 49 hips (21.1%), AT was observed in 63 hips (27.2%), and RLLs were observed in 34 hips (14.7%) at one year postoperatively. Among 34 hips with RLLs, 70.6% showed change of either D or I on the three-year radiograph. BC was observed in younger patients more frequently.

Conclusion

The Fitmore stem works well in a Japanese population with favourable radiological change on hips with RLLs. Longer-term follow-up is required to determine clinical relevance. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2022;3(1):20–28.

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are highly informative genetic markers that have been used extensively in population genetics analysis. They are an important source of genetic diversity and can also have functional impact. Despite the availability of bioinformatic methods that permit large-scale genome-wide genotyping of STRs from whole genome sequencing data, they have not previously been applied to sequencing data from large collections of malaria parasite field samples. Here, we have genotyped STRs using HipSTR in more than 3,000Plasmodium falciparumand 174Plasmodium vivaxpublished whole-genome sequence data from samples collected across the globe. High levels of noise and variability in the resultant callset necessitated the development of a novel method for quality control of STR genotype calls. A set of high-quality STR loci (6,768 fromP.falciparumand 3,496 fromP.vivax) were used to studyPlasmodiumgenetic diversity, population structures and genomic signatures of selection and these were compared to genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping data. In addition, the genome-wide information about genetic variation and other characteristics of STRs inP.falciparumandP.vivaxhave been available in an interactive web-based R Shiny application PlasmoSTR (https://github.com/bahlolab/PlasmoSTR).
Effect of tetracycline on nitrogen removal in Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) System
Authors: Shu Yan , Liang Donghui
Published: January 2022

The effect of tetracycline (TC) on nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment plants has become a new problem. This study investigated the effects of TC on nitrogen removal using a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor system. The results showed that there was no significant effect on nitrogen removal performance when the concentration of TC was 5 mg/L, and that the total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency could reach 75–77%. However, when the concentration of TC increased to 10 mg/L, the denitrification performance was affected and the TN removal efficiency decreased to 58%. The abundance of denitrifying bacteria such as those in the genus Thauera decreased, and TC-resistant bacteria gradually became dominant. At a TC concentration of 10 mg/L, there were also increases and decreases, respectively, in the abundance of resistance and denitrification functional genes. The inhibitory effect of TC on denitrification was achieved mainly by the inhibition of nitrite-reducing bacteria.

Pain variability can be partially attributed to psycho-cognitive features involved in its processing. However, accumulating research suggests that simple linear correlation between situational and dispositional factors may not be sufficiently explanatory, with some positing a role for mediating influences. In addition, acute pain processing studies generally focus on a post-operative model with less attention provided to post-traumatic injury. As such, this study aimed to investigate a more comprehensive pain processing model that included direct and indirect associations between acute pain intensity in the head and neck, pain catastrophizing (using pain catastrophizing scale (PCS)), and pain sensitivity (using the pain sensitivity questionnaire (PSQ)), among 239 patients with post-motor vehicle collision pain. The effect of personality traits (using Ten Items Personality Inventory (TIPI)) and emotional status (using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)) on that model was examined as well. To this end, three Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analyses were conducted. Overall, the data had good fit to all the models, with only PSQ found to have a direct correlation with acute pain intensity. The SEM analyses conversely revealed several mediations. Specifically, that: first, PSQ fully mediated the relationship between PCS and pain intensity; second, PCS and PSQ together fully mediated the relationship between conscientiousness (personality trait) and pain intensity; and finally, emotional status had direct and indirect links with PSQ and pain intensity. In conclusion, these models suggest that during the acute post-collision phase, pain sensitivity intermediates between emotional states and personality traits, partially via elevated pain catastrophizing thoughts.
Animation as an advertising resource. Analysis from a gender perspective
Authors: Sánchez-Labella-Martín Inmaculada , Garrido-Lora Manuel , Guarinos Virginia
Published: January 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar, desde una perspectiva de género, el uso de la animación en la publicidad. Para ello, este estudio cualitativo, de carácter exploratorio y descriptivo, utiliza el análisis de contenido como herramienta de abordaje. A partir de una ficha de análisis compuesta por 25 indicadores, el análisis parte de un triple enfoque: narratológico, publicitario y de género. La muestra está formada por 22 spots, que utilizan la animación para publicitar productos o servicios, dirigidos a un target joven y/o adulto. Los resultados obtenidos en los tres niveles de análisis permiten afirmar que el uso de la animación es un factor importante motivado por el deseo intencionado de los creativos profesionales de evocar un amplio abanico de emociones. Si bien la mayoría de los anuncios tienen como objetivo transmitir conocimientos relacionados con el producto, algunos de ellos también tienen como objetivo incidir en las actitudes de la audiencia, promoviendo la inclusión, la conciencia de la diversidad o el respeto por la igualdad de género, y en algunos otros reproducen situaciones de sexismo. Hasta cierto punto, estos últimos spots perpetúan el sexismo en la publicidad a través de la animación utilizada como recurso capaz de representar lo que no podría mostrarse con actores reales.
Revisión crítica sobre la legalidad del branded content en MasterChef España
Authors: Palomo-Domínguez Isabel , Infante-del-Rosal Fernando
Published: January 2022

MasterChef España se emite en Radiotelevisión Española, medio público estatal que se rige por una ley de financiación específica. Dicha ley prohíbe la publicidad y solo permite el patrocinio dentro de unos límites descritos. Desde su comienzo en 2013, el programa incluye marcas con interés publicitario, frecuentemente enmascaradas en formatos híbridos como el branded content. El objetivo de este artículo es constatar que tales marcas exceden los límites legales del patrocinio cultural o deportivo, desembocando en ejemplos de publicidad encubierta, otra práctica también sancionada. Metodológicamente, se combina la investigación documental con el análisis de contenido. Los resultados describen la presentación publicitaria de estas marcas. Asimismo, se demuestra la existencia de contratos publicitarios que dan pie a la promoción de instituciones a través del formato del branded content. Este hecho supone una nueva infracción, pues la publicidad institucional pagada también está prohibida en Radiotelevisión Española. Son contribuciones originales el diseño de un instrumento de análisis para cuestionar la legalidad del branded content en este medio y la identificación de licitaciones y contratos. Entre las limitaciones del estudio, se hallan las dificultades de acceso a las cuentas de marcas privadas. Este aspecto abriría una futura línea de investigación, centrada en la búsqueda de contratos publicitarios de marcas privadas en MasterChef.

Published: January 2022

The article analyzes the legal problems of the integration of science and education, offers an assessment of various organizational forms of integration of science and higher education over the past 30 years. The main provisions, stages of implementation and the results of the implementation of various scientific and educational state programs are studied, statistical data are provided that emphasize the increase in the volume of scientific activities carried out in educational organizations (higher educational institutions). The authors investigate the status of educational organizations as subjects of scientific law, emphasize the imperfection of Russian educational legislation regarding the differentiation of educational institutions of higher education and scientific organizations. The article focuses on the study of the positive and negative consequences of the introduction of a new category of higher educational institutions – flagship universities. After analyzing the problems of legal regulation of flagship universities, the authors come to the conclusion that the logical conclusion of the reform of flagship universities can be the establishment of the status of flagship universities in the legislation on education and a clear separation of flagship and federal universities.
Cash Benefits in Social Welfare: Transformation of Legislation and Scientific Approaches to the Definition of Employed Concepts
Authors: Mikhailenko Yulia
Published: January 2022

The article analyzes the shortcomings of the conceptual apparatus characteristic of the right for social security in designating the types of social security provided in monetary form. In particular, there is a lack of  necessary definitions (including key concepts such as "benefits" and "compensation"); lack of uniformity of terms (foregoing, the term "compensation" in some sources is used in the sense of "reimbursement of costs incurred by a person", traditional for the science of labor law, and in others a "civilized" approach to compensation as payments aimed at restoring the property sphere in case of encroachments on intangible goods is applied); "doubling" of concepts (for example, the appearance of "insurance payments" along with insurance "benefits"). Based on the analysis of the current legislation, it is concluded that there is no consistent distinction between the concepts of "benefits", "compensation", and other monetary payments. Nevertheless, a retrospective analysis of the sources of social security law, as well as ideas and approaches formed in science (not without the influence of the science of labor law), allows us to define certain types of social security payments. Unfortunately, they are not always reflected in the legislation on social security, as a result of which the scientific ideas themselves are undergoing changes, in particular, the criteria determining the essence of various social security payments are being enough. It seems that the directions for improving the system of sources of social security law should be the rejection of excessive terminological diversity in determining the types of social security, as well as the orientation to the approaches developed in science to their definition.Thus, it is proposed to use the category of benefits as a universal concept, referring to it social security payments in cash, which do not have specific features of other social security payments.
The Genesis of the Internal Convictions of a Law Enforcement Officer in the Process of Interpreting the Norms of Law
Authors: Sorokin Vitaly
Published: January 2022

The article describes the forms of objectification of language in law. Language is considered by the author not just as a way of communicating legal information, but as a mediator of the meaning of law. The role of legal definitions in legal operations is characterized. The language correlates with the spheres of the spirit of law and the legal process. Language is an important nation-forming factor. It is not limited to providing communication between subjects using verbal and non-verbal means. In the legal sphere, the word carries the spirit of law, for it is the embodiment of this spirit. Receiving a linguistic expression, the spirit of law is objectified. At the same time, the legal literature presents a limited view on the functions of language in law. As a rule, they include display function(expression of the will of the legislator outside) and communicative one (bringing this will to the attention of participants in public relations). At the same time, the most important functions of language in law are ignored: system-preserving, meaning-forming and spiritual. At the same time, the author warns against the absolutization of linguistic means in law.
