Silage produced with the entire corn plant (Zea mays L.) has been an increasingly widespread alternative as bulky food for ruminants. One of the main care in crop management with a view to silage production is related to fertilization. In tropical soils (such as those in the south of the state of Pará) phosphorus is the most limiting nutrient for agricultural production. Because of the above, the present work aims to know the agronomic performance of forage corn cultivars in high and low phosphorus in the South of the state of Pará. For this, two competition trials of maize cultivars under contracting conditions of phosphorus (P) were carried out: high P (100 kg ha-1 from P2O5) and low P (50 kg ha-1 from P2O5), using as a source the simple superphosphate (18% from P2O5). The experimental design was randomized blocks with fourteen treatments and three replications. The treatments were composed of fourteen cultivars, eleven of these were the hybrids: AG1051, AG8088, BM3061, BR2022, BR205, BR206, BRS3046, CR-120, M274, ORION, and PR27D28, and the other three were open pollination populations (PPA): AL BANDEIRANTE, ANHEMBI, and CATIVERDE. The variables evaluated were: height of insertion of the ear (AE) and plant height (AP), total weight per plant (PPT), the weight of the cob with straw (PESP), and weight of the ear without straw (PESP). The medium was compared by the test of groups of Scott and Knott, the 5% of significance, using the program SISVAR. Considering the overall performance of the cultivars, in all traits evaluated in the two trials, the sum of their results points to the cultivar BRS3046 as the most promising for silage production. The high test P, as expected, has been used about the low P.

Published: January 2023

An experiment was carried out at the Post Harvest Laboratory, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) during the year 2021 to make guava candy. The experiment consisted of 9 treatments and 3 replications treated with potassium metabisulphite (T4 to T9= 0.2%) for 10 min, prior to candy preparation. The experiment also consists of 0.2% citric acid with three different concentrations of sugar syrup (45º B, 55ºB, 65ºB). Guava candy was prepared and stored for 3 months under ambient conditions in a plastic ziplock bag. From storage studies, it was revealed that T9 (Dipping in 650B syrup + blanching in 0.2% KMS solution+ 1% citric acid) is most suitable treatment in terms of their physico-chemical properties and organoleptic test of guava candy. On the basis of the results it is concluded that treatment T9 can be used in the commercialization of guava candy. The results indicated that the quality observations and sensory evaluation were affected by various treatments.

Authors: HARSHA K.  , M.V. SHALIMA , R. NAIR ASWATI
Published: January 2023

Biosurfactants (BS) or green surfactants are amphiphilic compounds that enhance the bioavailability of hydrophobic organic compounds and also exhibit anti-phytopathogenic properties. BSproducing isolates thus find applications in soil remediation and development of biocontrol agents. Endophytes that confer several benefits to host plant constitute a good resource for prospecting BSproducing isolates. The present study screened the Z. zerumbet endophytes identified in earlier studies for BS production by hydrocarbon overlay agar method, CTAB- Methylene blue agar assay and determining Emulsification Index (EI24). EI24 was observed as the most desirable parameter to determine BS production compared to hydrocarbon overlay agar and CTAB- methylene blue agar plate assay. Isolate ZzADK4 (Bacillus spp) showed highest emulsification activity (58%) determined as EI% with kerosene. UV-vis spectral scans identified the endophytes as producing LP class of BS with absorbance maxima spanning 207- 216 nm. LP class of BS producing endophytic isolates identified in the present study constitute potential solutions with applications in soil remediation and the development of biocontrol agents (BCAs).

Authors: N. WADED KUSUMA , SINIJA V. R.
Published: January 2023

Medium chain triglyceride oil based functional yogurt drink was prepared from skim milk with the addition of MCT at two different variations (0.5 and 1.0%) and transferred to a sterilized glass bottle with skimmed milk at (43 °C). The pH and TSS values of yogurt decreased over the storage period with a simultaneous increase in bacterial count. The sample with concentration of 1 % of MCT treated at 43 °C showed the best results compared to control samples with an acceptable microbial load. The highest lightness index was found in MY2 with 82.30 and lowest was in MY1 with 80.5 at the 1st day of the storage. At the end of the storage period (21st day), decreased lightness (L*) was observed in MY1 followed by control sample. TA was significantly increased in MYC than in MCT samples with value of 1.11±0.11% and 1.10±0.10% respectively. Acceptability index of sensory attributes of developed yogurt drink of 1 % MCT oil incorporated shows the best overall acceptability compared to other samples. Hence it is a potential replacement to the probiotic drinks with added health benefits.

Published: January 2023

An attempt was made to study the five year wise rainfall trends of Kalayan Karnataka. The study period spans for a period of 50 years from 1971-2020 which was divided into ten periods comprising each 5-year moving average to detect long term trends and further a linear tend was added as parametric test. Long term changes in rainfall characteristics were determined by both parametric and non-parametric tests. The analysis revealed that the period from 1991-1995 was found to be highest mean rainfall receiving period for the Bidar (1078.9 mm), Kalaburgi (976.7 mm) districts whereas for the Yadgir (1171.1mm) district it was from 1986-1990. However for Raichur (875.5 mm) and Koppal (670.7 mm) districts the period from 2001- 2005 was found to be highest mean rainfall receiving period whereas 1971-1975 was found to be for Ballari (705.7 mm) district. The highest CV was recorded during the period from 1981-1985, 1976-1980, 1976-1980, 2016-2020, 1976-1980 and 2006-2010 from Bidar (34.5%), Kalaburgi (36.8%), Yadgir (43.3%), Raichur (39.7%), Koppal (30.9%) and Ballari (30.8%) respectively indicating higher variability and lesser dependability. Sen’s slope estimator showed that there is a positive trend for the Bidar, Raichur and Koppal rainfall pattern. However, Kalaburagi, Yadgir and Ballari exhibited a decreasing trend.

Published: January 2023

Máximos de viento en niveles bajos de la atmósfera ocurren frecuentemente sobre el mar peruano frente a la costa, denominados chorros o jets costeros. Estos jets costeros tienen un papel importante en la dinámica oceánica e impactos significativos en el clima y la ecología regional, así como en una serie de actividades humanas, por lo que las investigaciones sobre ellos son de mucha importancia. Este estudio presenta las características (frecuencia de ocurrencia, altura, intensidad y dirección) de los jets costeros frente a la costa peruana, usando datos de simulación atmosférica a alta resolución (7 km) con el modelo regional WRF, para el periodo 1994-2003, siguiendo un conjunto de criterios basado en el análisis de perfiles verticales del viento y de temperatura. Los resultados del análisis muestran que los jets costeros sobre el mar peruano pueden ocurrir durante todos los meses del año, sin embargo, varían en frecuencia y localización espacial. Estos jets son más frecuentes en verano y se concentran muy cerca de la costa. Predominantemente, tienen intensidad entre 8 y 10 m.s-1 y se presentan entre 200 y 300 m.s.n.m. Por otro lado, en invierno los jets costeros son menos frecuentes y tienen mayor extensión espacial; mayormente tienen intensidad entre 9 y 11 m.s⁻¹ y altura entre 400 y 500 m.s.n.m. Además, la dirección de los jets costeros es predominantemente sursureste (paralelo a la línea de costa) para todas las estaciones de año, excepto en invierno cuando el jet presenta también altas ocurrencias desde la dirección sureste.

El desarrollo larval de peces obtenidos en cautiverio, se encuentra relacionado a nutrición, y búsqueda de técnicas de habituación a dietas comerciales. En tal sentido, la presente investigación está dirigida a conocer el efecto de adicionar vitaminas a un enriquecedor comercial para conocer su influencia en crecimiento, supervivencia, presencia de malformaciones y perfil bioquímico en larvas de Anisotremus scapularis. Se utilizaron 1500 larvas, con 2,19 ± 1,30 mg de peso seco y 3,00 ± 0,23 mm de longitud total inicial, que fueron sembradas en tanques de 100 L a densidad de 10 larvas/L, con una mezcla de microalgas Nannochloropsis oceanica e Isochrysis galbana. Se elaboraron 4 tratamientos; teniendo como base al enriquecedor comercial Selco Spresso®, al que se añadieron las vitaminas: Enriquecedor 100 g (E1), Enriquecedor 99,95 g + 45.000 μg/100g vit A (E2), Enriquecedor 99,63 g + 45.000 μg/100g vit A + 180.000 μg/100g vit C + 136.000 μg/100g vit E (E3) y Enriquecedor 99,63 g + 180.000 μg/100g vit C + 136.000 μg/100g vit E (E4) y fueron añadidos al alimento vivo 6 h antes de ser suministrados a las larvas. La alimentación inició 2 días después de la eclosión (DDE) con Brachionus plicatilis hasta el día 20 DDE y luego con nauplios de artemia hasta el 35 DDE cuando inició el destete, agregando alimento inerte micro particulado comercial hasta el 60 DDE que finalizó el experimento. La calidad del agua del cultivo larval se mantuvo según parámetros del laboratorio: temperatura (19,9 ± 0,71 °C), pH (8,58 ± 0,37), oxígeno disuelto (7,33 ± 0,46 mg/L) y porcentaje de saturación (80,53 ± 4,68%). Al final del experimento, se obtuvieron promedios del peso total 29,22 ± 8,18 mg; longitud total 18,68 ± 8,53 mm; tasa de crecimiento específico 4,36 ± 0,51%g/día, supervivencia 42,78 ± 5,98%, malformaciones 11,72 ± 7,80%, DHA/EPA 0,87 ± 0,09. Los tratamientos no presentaron diferencias significativas (p > 0,05); sin embargo, el tratamiento E2 obtuvo los mejores resultados. Este estudio nos permitió conocer la influencia de las vitaminas en el desarrollo de larvas de Anisotremus scapularis bajo condiciones de laboratorio, asimismo las vitaminas utilizadas deberían servir como base para realizar otros ensayos que nos acerquen a conocer la nutrición larval de chita.

Se presentan características sedimentológicas y geoquímicas de sedimentos marinos superficiales recientes de la bahía de Paracas, como parte de los Proyectos “Estudio Integrado de la Dinámica de los Procesos Físicos y Biogeoquímicos en Ecosistemas del Borde Costero” y “Fondo Para el Medio Ambiente Mundial”, desarrollados durante 2013, 2014 y 2015. Los sedimentos recientes de la bahía de Paracas corresponden a texturas limo arcilloso, arcilla limosa y limo arenoso, que están asociados a bajas intensidades de corrientes. Los sedimentos arenosos se registraron cerca de la línea de costa y de la desembocadura del río Pisco, la presencia de grava es muy escasa (<1%) hallada al norte del río Pisco. En la zona costera se incrementa la corriente y el oleaje, transportando material más fino hacia lugares donde la corriente es menor. Los mayores valores de materia orgánica total corresponden a fracción fina conformada por limo y arcilla, estando condicionada al aporte de material de origen biogénico relacionado a la alta productividad biológica en la columna de agua, y también por presencia de partículas muy finas de desechos urbanos e industriales, que se incorporan al fondo por procesos de transporte y sedimentación. La mayor variación se halló en la zona sur de la bahía entre la Puntilla y El Chaco, con valores que fluctuaron de 12,21 a 17,80%; mientras que los más bajos contenidos de materia orgánica total están asociados a sedimentos con dominio de la fracción arena y se encontraron al norte del río Pisco, con valores de 3,16 a 3,21%, que corresponden a evaluaciones realizadas en primavera 2014 e invierno 2015. El interior de la bahía es ocasionalmente afectado por contaminantes de origen antropogénico al presentarse vientos norte y circulación marina con dirección sur.

Authors: Carlos Eduardo Rivera  , Oriana Gomez  , Angela Maria Fajardo  , Camila Leon  , Ankur Seth
Published: January 2023

Objective: We aim to review the available literature on the relationship between Metabolic Syndrome and the development of primary open-angle glaucoma. Methods: A bibliographic search of articles published in English using PubMed, LILACS, MEDLINE, BIREME Internet search sites, and Scopus databases. For the search, the following terms were used: glaucoma, open-angle, metabolic syndrome, Systemic Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Obesity, Dyslipidemia, and risk factors. Findings and conclusions: Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness. Timely diagnosis is essential for preventing vision loss, which has made risk factors of interest in public health for achieving early screening for glaucoma, especially for those with higher risk. The literature has shown a clear relationship between several components of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in isolation from POAG, and the etiological factors that explain this relationship have been established. However, some of these studies have yet to show a statistically significant relationship. More studies are required to show whether there is a significant relationship between the components of Metabolic Syndrome and POAG.

Objective: To establish the Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) distribution among patients diagnosed with systemic hypertension (SH) and diabetes mellitus (DM) in six cities of Colombia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Colombia among hypertensive and diabetic patients. This study included 2,067 subjects older than 50 diagnosed with SH and DM. Participants underwent a complete ophthalmic examination, including intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement by Goldmann tonometry, Central Corneal Thickness (CCT). The glaucoma diagnosis was confirmed by structural and functional evidence. Results: The average central corneal thickness was 538.91 microns (μm). The mean CCT of males was significantly thicker (542.43 μm) when compared with females (536.96 um) (p <0.001). Glaucoma patients had thinner corneas (533.15 μm) than glaucoma suspects (535.99 μm) and non-glaucoma patients (539.15 μm) (p<0.044). A decrease of approximately 2-3 um was observed for each decade of life, 50 - 60 years ( 540.50 μm ), 60 - 70 years ( 539.97 μm ), 70 - 80 years ( 537.41 μm ), older than 80 years ( 532.14 μm ) almost reaching a statistically significant value( p<0.056). Mestizo subjects had thicker corneas than white (caucasian) and African - descendants; 538.29 μm, 539.29 um, 531.05 μm, respectively (p <0.012). Patients with Intraocular Pressure (IOP) lower than 15 mmHg had thinner corneas than patients with IOP between 15 - 21 mmHg and higher than 21 mmHg; 536.92 μm, 543.41 μm, 559.50 μm, respectively (p: 0000). Conclusions: CCT is thicker in males compared to females. Glaucoma patients had thinner corneas than glaucoma suspects and non-glaucoma patients. Older patients (>80 years) had thinner corneas than younger patients. Mestizo subjects had thicker corneas than white (caucasian) and African - descendants. Patients with lower Intraocular Pressure (IOP) had thinner corneas than patients with higher IOP mmHg.

Published: January 2023

Purpose: 
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the success of the closed-loop E-waste supply chain operations, primarily focused on achieving sustainability objectives related to the manufacturing, distribution, reusing, and discarding of electrical components.
Methodology:
The supply chain operations reference model offers suggestions and benchmarking tools to monitor the performance of supply chains and enhance the processes. This study illustrates a conceptual framework to show how these standards could be used in the E-waste supply chain to link business processes, metrics, industry standards, and technology to enhance the relationship and coordination between the supply chain members and to increase sustainability throughout the supply chain.
Findings:
According to an assessment of the literature, insufficient attention has been paid to the SCOR model's sustainability criteria. Consequently, in the wake of portraying the structure of the Supply Chain Operation Reference model, we make sense of which credits should be included in the Supply Chain Operation Reference to reflect manageability and which cycles and practices are related to every standard or should be remembered for Supply Chain Operation Reference to lay out the connection between execution, cycles, and practices.
Conclusions:
When a company's supply chain has achieved a desirable degree of eco-friendliness in all regards, its performance will be improved and satisfactory from a sustainability perspective
Outra arte moderna antes do Modernismo de 1922
Authors: Petry Michele
Published: January 2023

Buscando entender de que modo a estética Art Nouveau emerge na arte gráfica do Rio
de Janeiro no começo do século XX, problematiza-se a sua presença na capital do Brasil a
partir da circulação de ideias entre o Rio de Janeiro e Paris, com a Exposição Universal
de 1900, assim como da constituição de um campo artístico brasileiro em torno de Eliseu
Visconti (1966–1944), que retornara ao país em 1902. Para tanto, analisa-se os trinta e
três exemplares da Revista da Semana (1900) e os cento e vinte de O Malho (1902–1904),
identificando que a Arte Nova emerge na arte gráfica do Rio de Janeiro em dois momentos
distintos, em 1900 e em 1902, configurando-se em outra Arte Moderna antes do Modernismo
de 1922.

Interessante acompanhar, pelas páginas do Correio Paulistano, a expectativa
crescente que se construiu em torno da Semana de Arte Moderna. Desde o primeiro
“reclame”, o jornal se colocou diante de algo inédito. De certa forma, alimentou o marco
e procurou, por suas páginas, reforçar a ideia da inevitabilidade de um tempo e de um
local: a Semana só poderia se realizar em São Paulo e tudo que quanto se pensasse e
elaborasse, a partir de então, seria com as bases inaugurais do “1922 Paulista”. Menotti
del Picchia, em sua “Chronica Social”, arma que “será uma semana historica na vida
literaria do paiz”. Aquelas três noites de fevereiro, no “theatro maximo da cidade”,
representarão o ponto de inflexão: ao desenvolvimento fabril, ao progresso técnico, a
terra bandeirante tomará a dianteira, igualmente, no campo das artes. E fará mais:
colocará o Brasil em compasso global.

This research is a study to determine the effect of the application of the classical model on the results of reading the Qur'an. This research is a correlational quantitative research that involves collecting data to determine whether there is a relationship and the degree of relationship between several variabels. With a research site at the Baitul Makmur TPA Solo Baru. The subjects of this study took a population of 51 people in 6 existing classes, and the research sample was only taken in

4 large classes at the Baitul Makmur TPA which amounted to 30 people. This research uses observation method, interview method, and questionnaire method with final analysis using product moment correlation using SPSS. This study used data collection through a question instrument which consisted of 15 written questions, a validity test using Aiken's validity test and a reliability test using Cronbach-Alpha. From the results of existing research, it can be concluded that the application of the classical model can be done through 3 methods, namely; lecture method, question and answer method and classical iqra method. The conclusion of the hypothesis test using the Kolmogorov normality test then it is known that the Asymp.Sig (2-tailed) value is 0.200> 0.05, then the Linearity Test which produces ANOVA which produces an F arithmetic value of 0.699r table of 0.361. The results of this study indicate that the effect produced in learning with the classical model used on the results of reading the Qur'an is that the classical model makes it easier to start learning and remember learning. This model is the same as other models as one of the models that can make it easier. With repeated repetition, the students will remember it more quickly in everyday life.

The plane contact problem for compound elastic half-plane consisting from endless strip and half-plane from different orthotropic materials. The compound half-plane weakened by crack of final length on the junction line of the strip and half-plane. Normal and shearing stresses are given on the free boundary of the strip and at the edges of the crack. There are conditions of full contact on junction line of the strip and at the edges of crack. On junction line of the strip and half-plane, outside of the crack there are conditions of full contact. The discontinuous solution of the elasticity theory for the compound orthotropic plane is obtained by the method of Airy stress function. The closed solution of problem is built by means of the last, bringing to the singular integral equation of the second kind./Рассматривается плоская контактная задача для составной упругой полуплоскости, состоящей из бесконечной полосы и полуплоскости из различных ортотропных материалов. На линии контакта полосы и полуплоскости составная полуплоскость ослаблена трещиной конечной длины. На свободной границе полосы и на краях трещины заданы нормальные и касательные напряжения. На линии контакта, вне трещины, имеют место условия полного контакта. Методом функции напряжений Эйри получено разрывное решение теории упругости для составной ортотропной плоскости. При помощи последнего построено замкнутое решение задачи, сведя к сингулярному интегральному уравнению второго рода.

International Cooperation : International Organizations
Authors: Karska Elżbieta
Published: January 2023

This chapter is devoted to the international organization as the legal form of international coop- eration. It begins with an historical analysis, in which the author refers to the examples of ancient Greece and the local forms of cooperation between city-states, which are considered the precursors of today’s international organizations. The author subsequently discusses the historical changes over the last two centuries that gave rise to contemporary international organizations. Examples cited include universal and regional organizations such as the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the European Union, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The author uses these examples as the basis for examining the goals of international cooperation as well as the principles and axiology of international organizations. Particular attention is paid to the goals of the international community, such as ensuring international peace and security, building common collective security, developing the principles of a democratic state of law, and developing the protection of human rights. In the following part, the author considers the attributes of an international organization that determine effective international cooperation. These include the right to conclude international agreements, the right to send and receive diplomatic representatives, the right to bring international claims, and the obligation to bear international responsibility. Conclusions regarding the role of states in creating international organizations and equipping them with specific competences in the sphere of international relations are important in this respect. This is fundamentally a question about the scope of subjectivity and legal capacity to act in the sphere of international law. In the penultimate part, the author considers the role of the organs of an inter- national organization in making cooperation more effective and introduces categories of organs by dividing them according to various criteria. The paper ends with reflections on the changing needs of states and the international community that affect the goal of international cooperation and the legal form of its implementation, i.e., an international organization.
Protection of Human Rights : The Role of the ECHR
Authors: Paczolay Péter
Published: January 2023

In present-day Europe a multilevel protection of human rights has developed. Freedoms in Europe are protected at the national level, the Council of Europe level, and the European Union level. National courts, especially constitutional courts, defend rights based primarily on the ground of the national constitutions, but also by the international legal instruments. The Court of Justice of the European Union protects the rights embodied in the Charter. The European Court of Human Rights protects the freedoms and rights enshrined in the European Convention of Human Rights. The chapter analyses only the developments of jurisprudence of the Strasbourg Court, and focuses on three distinct subjects: the protection of ethnic minorities, the right to education, and the human rights challenges of the digital era. The Court considers the Convention a “living instrument,” and by the way of its “innovative interpreta- tion” can protect human rights even outside the area that the Convention’s text strictly covers. Through this flexible approach, the Court is able accommodate human rights protection to changing political and social environments. Nevertheless, as the first subject indicates, the efforts are not always success- ful. In the area of the protection of ethnic and national minorities the result cannot be called a success story, and the case-law is unfortunately contingent. Contrariwise, the subject of education rights provides an example of how the Court could enlarge the applicability of a right previously interpreted very narrowly and elevate the standard of assessment higher than its previous case-law. The Court could also give adequate answers to the challenges of the digital era, extending human rights jurisprudence to the online world. The approach of the Court is illustrated in connection with two fundamental rights protected by the Convention: first, the Internet and freedom of expression; second, data-protection and retention issues relevant for the Internet in the context of the right to privacy.
The International Criminal Court in the Context of International Criminal Law
Authors: Kovács Péter
Published: January 2023

There was a long path to the establishment of a permanent international criminal tribunal, from 1474 through the so-called Versailles Peace Treaties, the International Military Tribunal of Nuremberg and the International Military Tribunal of Tokyo, and the adoption of the Convention on the Preven- tion and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide to the text of the Rome Statute, which was adopted in 1998. Although the circle of international crimes is much larger than that of the crimes covered by the Rome Statute, it cannot be denied that it covers most international crimes. The jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court is based on the satisfaction of the preconditions settled in the Rome Statute. The jurisdictional competence of the International Criminal Court is based on two hypotheses: It is competent when the crime is committed on the territory of a States Party to the Rome Statute or by a national of a States Party. The main organs of the International Criminal Court are the Judiciary, the Office of the Prosecutor, the Registry, and the Assembly of States Parties. The International Criminal Court must use different evidentiary standards when rendering its decisions.
Coercive Measures in Criminal Proceedings
Authors: Róth Erika
Published: January 2023

This chapter introduces the basic problems of coercive measures applicable in criminal proceedings. The fundamental rights of the suspect or accused can be restricted in several forms to ensure the effective completion of an investigation and, if necessary, the court procedure. Coercive measures restricting personal liberty are the most serious limitations and should be of interest to international organizations protecting fundamental/human rights and empirical studies. Although we examine the relevant provisions of the national codes of criminal procedures of the Central European countries,1 we will use this background material to refer to them only as examples. Considering the scope and complexity of the provisions, it would not be possible to outline the main rules concerning coercive measures in different states.

Romania: National Regulations in the Shadow of a Common Past
Authors: Miheș Cristian Dumitru
Published: January 2023

The rule of law is very difficult to enforce during periods of dictatorship or war. We can have a justice system that functions, as we had before 1989, but that system was confined to upholding the regime in power. Romania experienced a dictatorship for a very long period of time. In the first phase, there was a royal dictatorship from 1938, then a military one, followed by the communist regime until the end of 1989. Since 1945, Romania has been a part of the world where the communist system imposed by the Soviet Union left its mark on criminal justice. The authors of the 1968 Penal Code considered that code to have been adopted “with the purpose of solving uniformly the vast problematic of pre- venting and punishing the crimes.” In a practical regard, the entire legislation was a tool to ensure the success of the regime of communist oppression. In these circumstances, the events that took place in 1989 liberated the spirit of freedom; meanwhile, the consequences of those events took the citizens of the Central and East European countries by surprise, and they were unprepared for the struggle toward democracy and the rule of law. This was the case in Romania when, finally, in 2014, the process of enforcing all fundamental codes was established. In fact, the reform was deeper than the adoption of a new Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Law on the Execution of Sentences, Educational Measures, and Judicial Measures during Criminal Proceedings. This study presents the main principles, legal institutions, and operational characteristics of the new laws.

Published: January 2023

В статье рассмотрены три вида безопасности, связанные между собой различными объединяющими началами, в числе которых на первом месте находится право. Показано проявление энергетической и экономической безопасности в одной из наиболее важных - экологической, которая концентрирует в себе проблемы безопасности всех видов наиболее наглядно. Выявлена связь экологии и экономики, создающая проблему загрязнения окружающей среды, и показано её возможное решение путём социально ориентированного толкования правовых норм.

The article examines three types of security, interconnected by various unifying principles, among which law is in the first place. It shows the manifestation of energy and economic security in one of the most important - environmental, which concentrates all types of security problems most clearly. The author identifies the connection between ecology and economics, which creates the problem of environmental pollution, and shows its possible solution through a socially oriented interpretation of legal norms.
