A new frontier: The challenges surrounding the deepening impact of data protection regulations on bankruptcy law
Authors: Tajti Tibor
Published: January 2024

Notwithstanding the unprecedented and global prestige that data privacy (or data protection, in Europe) law has gained in the 21st century, comparative analyses of the effects flowing from the intensifying impact of data protection law on bankruptcy (insolvency) law remain unexplored. In addition to canvassing the history and contours of the data protection-bankruptcy law interface, through an empirical comparison of available court and data protection agency (authority) cases in multiple jurisdictions, this article fills this gap by identifying and exemplifying various modalities through which data protection law interferes with the bankruptcy process or creates tensions between the two branches of law, based on the comparison of available court and data protection authority (agency) cases in Europe (including the United Kingdom), the United States, as well as Canada and China, as middle-ground systems.
Dissenters and dissidents: Religious conscientious objectors under Yugoslav Military Criminal Law 1945-1991
Authors: Božić Marko
Published: January 2024

The paper presents results of a research focusing on a four decades' struggle for legal recognition of the right to conscientious objection in Socialist Yugoslavia. Without a pretense to evaluate it, the paper aspires to describe and explain the evolution of Yugoslav Military Criminal Law by examining its distinctive historical causes and inner logic. Methodologically, the study relies on normative analysis of relevant legal sources that have been either understudied or simply disregarded. It analyzes especially the 1989 Amendment to the Military Service Obligation Act that introduced the right to conscientious objection into the Yugoslav socialist legal system , as well as related archival materials, newspaper reports and other written accounts depicting the political background of the 1989 legal reform. The study sheds light on socialist secularism and questions the common perception of the Yugoslav People's Army as a conservative institution unwilling to compromise. It also contributes to a broader theoretical discussion on the ambiguous nature of conscientious objection as a right and/or a privilege.
The principle of trust in Real Estate records and contractual acquisition of property from the registered owner
Authors: Lazić Miroslav
Published: January 2024

Under the so-called causal tradition system governing the transfer of property, in order to acquire property rights on immovable property under the contractual acquisition rules, the acquirer first has to conclude a legally valid contract with the real estate owner, and then enter the acquired property into the Real Estate Cadastre. The acquisition of the ownership right will not occur in case the registration was made on the basis of an invalid contract or in case the contract has been concluded with a non-owner (which is determined only after the registration). If the acquirer had disposed of the acquired right before the contract was cancelled, the right to acquire ceases to exist for all subsequent acquirers. Nevertheless, due to the legal effect of the principles of trust and security of legal transactions, a conscientious (bona fide) third party remains the owner or the holder of another real estate right (e.g. mortgage) that was acquired from the registered owner who was wrongly or incompletely entered into the real estate register. The principle of trust in real estate records refers to reliance on all legal data that can be established by inspecting the land registry or cadastral records, which are complete and trustworthy. A third party is conscientious (bona fide) acquirer if, in the circumstances governing the conclusion of the contract and the state of affairs in the cadastral records, he/she could not have had any reason to suspect or doubt the accuracy or veracity of data from the public cadastral records. In Serbian legislation and judicial practice, in order to maintain the presumption of conscientiousness (acting in good faith), it is necessary to check whether the person is a registered owner or an unregisted owner. Although such practice may call into question the effect of the principle of trust, the author considers it to be justified because the cadastral records are still not completely accurate. De lege ferenda, the principle of trust should apply to a conscientious (bona fide) acquirer. Conscientiousness entails the examination of the registered owner but, if the circumstances of the case cast any doubt on the accuracy of cadastral records, conscientiousness must also include the examination of the unregistered owner.

Agricultura urbana en la ciudad de méxico y su área conurbada: situación y perspectivas
Authors: Soriano Robles Ramón
Published: January 2024

Este trabajo presenta un panorama de la agricultura urbana en México, particularmente en la ciudad de México y su área conurbada. Se da inicio al ensayo con una definición de agricultura urbana y se resalta su importancia como complemento de las metas de seguridad alimentaria de las ciudades. Posteriormente se contrastan los modelos de producción agropecuaria en ciudades y sus alrededores Estos modelos corresponden a la agricultura urbana practicada en países en desarrollo y países desarrollados. Al primer grupo pertenece México. Se analiza posteriormente como el concepto de seguridad alimentaria difiere de acuerdo al modelo. Por un lado se busca asegurar calidad (países desarrollados) y por otro lado la simple provisión (países en desarrollo). El trabajo se centra, entonces, en reseñar los principales sistemas de producción urbana, suburbana y periurbanos de la ciudad de México y su área conurbada y algunas de sus principales características; finalmente se discute, entre otros aspectos, cual es la situación de las políticas públicas destinadas al fomento de la agricultura urbana en México. Se concluye que ninguna política ha sido diseñada específicamente para promover la agricultura urbana en México. Sin embargo, si se asume que la agricultura urbana ayuda a reducir la huella ecológica de las ciudades y a mitigar la pobreza de sus habitantes, entonces es necesario entender el estado de las políticas relacionadas a su práctica para promover esta actividad. Aunque la agricultura urbana es evidentemente importante para la gente de escasos recursos en la ciudad de México, y en el resto del país, la gente de clase media, y aún alta, pudiera encontrar en la agricultura urbana una fuente sana de alimentos, un reacercamiento con la naturaleza y hasta una actividad terapéutica.

Para determinar el efecto de mezclas de vermicomposta (VC) y arena de río (AR), a diferentes niveles de composición, sobre el rendimiento y calidad de dos genotipos de tomate en invernadero, se desarrolló el presente trabajo bajo condiciones de invernadero. La siembra de semillas de tomate genotipos Andre y Adela, de hábito de crecimiento indeterminado se efectuó el 25 de Junio del 2002 en charolas de poliestireno de 200 cavidades, rellenas con peat moss. El transplante se realizó, el 4 de Agosto, colocando una plántula por maceta. Como macetas se utilizaron bolsas de plástico negro, calibre 500, con una capacidad de 25 kg. Para los sustratos de crecimiento se utilizaron cuatro mezclas de vermicomposta y arena de río (VC:AR) con la siguiente composición: 12.5:87.5, 25:75; 37.5:62.5 y 50:50 (% en base a peso). Las macetas se colocaron en el invernadero en fila a doble hilera, con arreglo a tresbolillo, y a una distancia de 30 cm entre plantas. En total se evaluaron ocho tratamientos, conformados por dos genotipos y cuatro mezclas de VC:AR, con cuatro repeticiones cada uno. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó un diseño de bloques al azar y para la comparación de las medias de tratamiento la prueba de DMS (5 %). En función de las variables evaluadas en los genotípos [peso de fruto, diámetro ecuatorial y polar y sólidos solubles presentaron diferencias altamente significativas (P £ 0.01) y la variable número de lóculos diferencia significativa (P £ 0.05)] se determinó que el genotipo Andre superó al genotipo Adela en los niveles con las mezclas que oscilaron de 25:75 a 37.5:62.5 (% en base a peso). Adicionalmente, puesto que ambos genotipos completaron su desarrollo fenológico en las diversas mezclas de VC:AR, sin el uso de fertilizantes sintéticos bajo condiciones de invernadero es posible concluir que la vermicomposta empleado puede satisfacer los requerimientos nutritivos del cultivo de tomate.

En esta investigación se evaluó la estabilidad de la producción comercial de cuatro clones promisorios de papa y las variedades comerciales Alpha y Atlantic, en 10 ambientes del noreste de México, bajo un diseño de bloques completos al azar con tres repeticiones. Con el propósito de determinar si existía o no varianza genético-ambiental, de detectar la variabilidad entre genotipos y de estimar las diferencias entre los ambientes de prueba, se realizó un análisis de varianza combinado; para determinar la estabilidad de los genotipos, se utilizó la metodología propuesta por Eberhart y Russell (1966). Según este estudio, por su estabilidad y predicción del rendimiento, los clones 91-25-4, 91-9-3 y 91-10-1 son materiales deseables para multiplicar y liberar como variedades en la zona papera del noreste de México.
Working Around: The Use of AngioVac and Micra Transcatheter Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in a Critically Ill Patient Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Authors: Morse Ryan , Joseph Mark
Published: January 2024

The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in critically ill patients has been on the rise in recent years. While ECMO has provided substantial benefit to patients who need cardiopulmonary support, its required use of large-bore catheters in major blood vessels often precludes the use of other transcatheter therapies. In this article, we demonstrate that two transcatheter procedures, AngioVac right-sided cardiac thrombus removal and Micra leadless pacemaker placement, both requiring large bore access, can both be safely and effectively implemented in patients who are dependent on ECMO to maintain cardiopulmonary function.
Effects of Short-Term Episodes of Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting on the Long-term Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation and Ischemic Stroke
Authors: Chen Lizhu , Dai Wenli
Published: January 2024

Background: To explore whether postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) has an impact on the incidence of late atrial fibrillation (AF) and late ischemic stroke after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) compared to non-POAF patients. Methods: A total of 243 eligible patients were followed for five years, and divided into a POAF group (n = 69) and a non-POAF group (n = 174). The primary end point was the incidence of late AF, and late ischemic stroke. Kaplan-Meier analyses and Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine whether POAF is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of late AF and late ischemic stroke. Results: POAF patients were older than non-POAF patients. During the 5-year follow-up, the late occurrence of AF was significantly higher in POAF patients than in non-POAF (15.9% vs. 7.9% p = 0.006). There was no significant difference in the incidence of late ischemic stroke between POAF and non-POAF groups (p = 0.406). COX proportional regression analysis showed that POAF was independently associated with the late occurrence of AF (hazard ratio (HR) 3.27; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.33–8.03, p = 0.01). Conclusion: POAF is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of late AF but not stroke after isolated CABG.
Contemporary Aspects of Local Security
Authors: Potoczek Andrzej
Published: January 2024

The sense of security of the inhabitants of a given territorial unit is one of the elements integrally related to the process of local development. Achieving an acceptable level of local security requires the creative activity of the local government and providing residents with protection against threats. Creating the desired state of security in the local environment is not possible without the continuous involvement of many entities in both material and non-material dimensions, which should ensure the implementation of the agreed tasks and the meeting of the collective needs of the community. An important element here is to take action to build and strengthen the resilience of territorial units against threats and crises. It is also important to perceive the security policy in the context of the objectives, assumptions, and implementation practice of the cohesion policy.
El carácter idealizado de las leyes de la termodinámica clásica: ¿en qué consiste?
Authors: Rojas Durán Edgar Eduardo
Published: January 2024

En la segunda mitad del siglo XX Nowak denunció que las teorías y las leyes científicas tienen un aspecto idealizado que pasaron de largo los filósofos de la ciencia que consideraron como correcto el modelo nomológico deductivo de la explicación científica. En consecuencia, propuso un modelo alternativo de la explicación científica denominado “explicación por concretización gradual” por Hanzel, quien lo retomó, criticó y enmendó a finales del siglo pasado. Ambos autores reconstruyeron varias leyes y teorías científicas empleando su marco conceptual propuesto ignorando la termodinámica clásica o termostática casi por completo. Por esta razón, se pretende aquí aplicar dicho marco conceptual para reconstruir las leyes de la termodinámica clásica y determinar con precisión en qué consiste su aspecto idealizado, así como las implicaciones de este en la interpretación realista de la termodinámica.
Francisco Suárez, metafísica y conocimiento a priori
Authors: Mendoza José María Felipe
Published: January 2024

This research pursues the proper meaning of the expression a priori in the first treatise of Francisco Suarez's Disputationes Metaphysicae. There, the term seems to keep the connotation of universality and independence of experience, valid mainly for Metaphysical Science. Moreover, the expression a priori is used as an adjective of the first principles par excellence. According to this, Dr. Eximious includes brief considerations on formal abstraction, causality, and the consequent relation of Metaphysics with the other sciences under the name of First Philosophy for a complete understanding of the scope and legitimacy of the term.

La presente investigación persigue la significación propia de la expresión a priori en el tratado primero de las Disputationes Metaphysicae de Francisco Suárez. Allí el término parece guardar la connotación de universalidad e independencia de la experiencia, válido principalmente para la ciencia metafísica. Más aún, se utiliza la expresión a priori como adjetivo de los primeros principios por antonomasia. Acorde con tales apreciaciones el Dr. Eximio incluye, para una completa comprensión del alcance y legitimidad del término, breves consideraciones sobre la abstracción formal, la causalidad y la consiguiente relación de la metafísica con las demás ciencias según el nombre de filosofía primera.
