Design and Virtual Simulation of an Optimal PID/LQRT-PSO Control System for 2WD Mobile Robots
Authors: MBIHI DJOUMESSI Markov
Published: January 2022

This research paper presents a relevant contribution to optimal control of angular velocities with trajectories tracking for 2WD mobile robots. The dynamic model of each robotic servomechanisms is modelled from experimental data as a second order transfer function. Then, the direct and reverse kinematic equations are analytically developed. Then, the LQRT (Linear Quadratic Regulator with Tracking) gains for angular velocity of servomechanisms, are computed over infinite time horizon from corresponding Riccatti equations, using PSO (Particles Swarm Optimization) values of weighted matrix Q and R. Therefore, the LQRT solution computed from PSO of Q and R is known as LQRT-PSO. In addition, the LQRT-PSO gains computed from the related Riccati equations, are transformed into equivalent PID/LQRT-PSO gains for angular velocities control. Furthermore, a trajectory tracking flowchart is designed to reinforce the robustness of the overall control system.  On the other hand, relevant developments conducted in the design step, are organized into an overall Matlab/Simulink PID/LQRT-PSO scheme. Finally, the obtained simulation results are presented in order to show the high performance of the proposed PID/LQRT-PSO control scheme for 2WD mobile robots.
Blurring the Lines of Race and Freedom
Authors: Wilkinson A. B.
Published: January 2022

The history of race in North America is still often conceived of in black and white terms. In this book, A. B. Wilkinson complicates that history by investigating how people of mixed African, European, and Native American heritage—commonly referred to as "Mulattoes," "Mustees," and "mixed bloods"—were integral to the construction of colonial racial ideologies. Thousands of mixed-heritage people appear in the records of English colonies, largely in the Chesapeake, Carolinas, and Caribbean, and this book provides a clear and compelling picture of their lives before the advent of the so-called one-drop rule. Wilkinson explores the ways mixed-heritage people viewed themselves and explains how they—along with their African and Indigenous American forebears—resisted the formation of a rigid racial order and fought for freedom in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century societies shaped by colonial labor and legal systems.
As contemporary U.S. society continues to grapple with institutional racism rooted in a settler colonial past, this book illuminates the earliest ideas of racial mixture in British America well before the founding of the United States.
The Perfecting of Nature
Authors: Doty Josh
Published: January 2022

The nineteenth century saw a marked change in how Americans viewed and understood the human form. These new ways of understanding the body reflect how Americans were beginning to see the body’s constituent parts as interconnected. From the transcendentalists’ idealized concept of self to the rise of Darwinian theory after the Civil War, the era and its writers redefined the human body as both deeply reactive and malleable. Josh Doty explores antebellum American conceptions of bioplasticity—the body’s ability to react and change from interior and exterior forces—and argues that literature helped to shape the cultural reception of these ideas. These new ways of thinking about the body’s responsiveness to its surroundings enabled exercise fanatics, cold-water bathers, cookbook authors, and everyday readers to understand the tractable body as a way to reform the United States at the physiological level. Doty weaves together analysis of religious texts, nutritional guides, and canonical literature to show the fluid relationship among bodies, literature, and culture in nineteenth-century America.
Lixão: área de disposição de resíduos sólidos no município de Jaguaquara-Bahia
Authors: Souza Alcione da Silva , Julião Fred da Silva
Published: January 2022

O lixão é considerado uma das opções para o despejo impróprio de resíduos sólidos. Este trabalho objetivou investigar o contexto do trabalho dos catadores de materiais recicláveis da área de disposição de resíduos sólidos no município de JaguaquaraBA. A pesquisa foi realizada em abril de 2021, no lixão localizado às margens da BR420 entre o Distrito-Sede e o Distrito Stela Câmara Dubois do município de Jaguaquara-BA. O trabalho foi realizado com a aplicação de um questionário, junto aos catadores de materiais recicláveis do lixão do município. A área de acesso para realização do estudo foi o espaço denominado galpão de reciclagem, onde concentram-se os catadores e diversos tipos de resíduos sólidos recicláveis em condições de reaproveitamento, trazidos do ponto de descarte para realização da triagem de cada tipo de material, sendo então feitos os montantes com a ajuda de uma máquina compactadora. O espaço funciona como um lixão à céu aberto, sem indícios de aterro sanitário e fora dos padrões técnicos, com muita fumaça, indicando que ali são queimados os resíduos, afetando então aqueles trabalhadores. Apesar de ser um trabalho periculoso, apenas três das 14 pessoas presentes estavam com máscara de proteção, além disso, poucos portavam outros equipamentos de proteção individual (EPI’s), como botas e luvas. Sobre os diferentes tipos de resíduos sólidos encontrados no lixão, de acordo aos catadores, o plástico é o resíduo mais comum, o domiciliar e comercial são os em maior quantidade, e segundo eles, o lixão não deve receber todo tipo de lixo. Com relação a presença de insetos devido a disposição do lixo à céu aberto os catadores disseram ser a mosca, barata e formiga as espécies mais encontradas, frutas e verduras podres são os que atraem esses insetos e o verão é o período de maior proliferação dos mesmos. E sobre os problemas decorrentes do acúmulo desenfreado de lixo, os catadores relataram ser o incêndio e mau cheiro os problemas ambientais do lixão, a diarreia sendo a doença decorrente da atividade e a micose como doença causada por inseto. É necessário garantir que essas pessoas possam ter por direito uma melhor remuneração, sejam educados, treinados e que possuam equipamentos de proteção para o exercício das suas atividades.
An assessment of the tropospherically accessible photo-initiated ground state chemistry of organic carbonyls
Authors: Rowell Keiran N. , Kable Scott H. , Jordan Meredith J. T.
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Carbonyls are among the most abundant volatile organic compounds in the
atmosphere. They are central to atmospheric photochemistry as absorption of
near-UV radiation by the C=O chromophore can lead to photolysis. If
photolysis does not occur on electronic excited states, non-radiative
relaxation to the ground state will form carbonyls with extremely high
internal energy. These “hot” molecules can access a range of ground state
reactions. Up to nine potential ground state reactions are investigated
at the B2GP-PLYP-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory for a test set of 20
representative carbonyls. Almost all are energetically accessible under
tropospheric conditions. Comparison with experiment suggests the most
significant ground state dissociation pathways will be concerted triple
fragmentation in saturated aldehydes, Norrish type III dissociation to
form another carbonyl, and H2 loss involving the formyl H atom
in aldehydes. Tautomerisation, leading to more reactive unsaturated
species, is also predicted to be energetically accessible and is likely to
be important when there is no low-energy ground state dissociation pathway,
for example in α,β-unsaturated carbonyls and some ketones. The
concerted triple fragmentation and H2-loss pathways have immediate
atmospheric implications for global H2 production, and tautomerisation has
implications for the atmospheric production of organic acids.
Dialogues with a body called the research journal
Authors: Bastow Helen Milte
Published: January 2022

Recording the mystery that accompanies the process of writing is almost impossible. What can be seen are traces - the collected patterns, images, and motifs from an unconscious research, souvenirs of the semiotic world, which are collected in the process called the research journal. As such, the journal’s facility to hold onto primitive transactions, of rhythmic and imaginary language, the unconscious exchanges between the novelist and herself, can be reminiscent of the imaginary exchanges within the maternal world, and in object relations. This paper will describe the enactment of abody dialogue, in the journal’s holding onto, and ‘projective identification’ of, traces of unconscious fantasy, imaginary language and emotion, left behind in the daily pages of the novel. The paper will document this intimate and poetic language, of a body called the research journal, as it contrasts with the more abstract, public and (phal)logocentric order of the academic thesis. In the course of the paper I hope to express something about my developing realisation that the most valuable contribution I might make to the fields of writing and creative arts are possibly contained in this unofficial document, and its particularly intimate, critical engagement with my research. I will posit that because journal writing theorises from practice - and in my discipline, from the practise of writing - the research journal should be considered a most valuable and rigorous resource.

Багатофакторна модель підйому водолазом-сапером вибухонебезпечного предмету

Published: January 2022

The use of experimental research planning methods has shown that to obtain a multifactor model of lifting an explosive object by a sapper diver from a depth that will take into account both the impact, in case nonlinear, selected parameters and the effects of interaction between them, it is advisable to conduct a multifactorial experiment 3x3x2. Statistical indicators of the time of lifting an explosive object in accordance with such a plan can be obtained using the method of direct expert assessments. As a result, a multifactor model of lifting an explosive object by divers in the form of a three-factor square polynomial was obtained, the coefficients of which establish a quantitative relationship between the level of training of personnel, external conditions in which he works and lifeguards. Field experiments confirmed the reliability of the developed mathematical model with a significance level of α = 0,05. It is shown that when de-veloping operational and technical recommendations, divers need to take into account both the type of diving suit and the effects of the interaction between the level of training of personnel and the conditions in which they work. At the same time, it is possible to ignore the effects of the interaction of the conditions of lifting an explosive object with the suit in which the sapper divers work, as well as the quadratic effect of using a dry or wet suit. It should be expected that in the case of lifting an explosive device, the level of preparedness will be more pronounced in divers-sappers with a primary level, as well as the fact that for them to reduce the effectiveness of underwater demining will be affected by poor external working conditions. During further research, increased attention should be paid to the preparation of diver sappers to work in difficult conditions and to the planning of operational activities of a specialized pyrotechnic unit, as well as the use of the latest technical means of underwater demining.

Banking System Paradox
Authors: Mohanty Anoop , Mohanty Tanuj
Published: January 2022

Banking system has been the backbone of Indian economy. Banking industry has seen a drastic transformation in past two and half decades with emergence of new players in the form of new generation private sector bank, payment banks, non banking financial companies. Competition among service providers has lead to sustainability issues. Balancing between business expansion, risk absorbing capacity and profitability is important. Survival of the fittest is the rule of the game. Nationalization of private banks was done to expand the service base for common masses. Since independence public sector banks have played a key role in the development and balanced growth of all sections of the society. Public sector banks were supported by a league of few old generation banks that catered the niche segments across India. Kerala is the birth place of many old generation private sector banks. Old generation banks worked in line to the practices followed by the leading public sector banks. Indian Banking Association (IBA) was formed for bringing standardization among peer players across industry. Post liberalization era has originated many new generation banks are genetically modified hybrids. New variants are designed for specific objectives of profit maximization en-cashing available opportunities. Business expansion is based on profit criteria rather than social requirements. Ideologies have differed a lot across generations. Public sector banks and new generation private sector banks are operating with diverse organizational goals. This case study highlights the comparative scenario of private sector banks with that of public sector banks to understand the market dynamics in the game of performance and survival.
Changing Landscape of Indian Banking After Covid and Role of Banks in Revival of Economy
Authors: Iqbal Zubair , Tanty Goutam
Published: January 2022

The digital revolution is a great test case for regulators who must adapt by adapting their work on rivalry and letting the benefits of progress go beyond financial stability. In this sense, supervisors must facilitate regulatory orientation and rivalry policy so that consistency does not become an obstacle to the section and neither does the transition become destabilizing. The rivalry can be grown from a slight orientation of the competitors, but at the risk of diminishing the benefits of the owner and, therefore, increase their risk including motivational forces. Also, you can change the era from main themes to non-banking elements. Since ancient times, banks have made enormous progress and have suffered and endured many emergencies. The currency crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic could trigger another financial crisis. This outweighs the combination of loan fees, consistently low policies and competition from (unregulated) shadow banks and digital newcomers who have tried the mainstream business model over the past decade. The survey is the result of the banks. In this report we argue that the crisis of Covid-19 will accelerate the pre-crisis trends since the development repressed and low credit rates will continue for some time and digitization will be a great driving force.

Candida albicans es un hongo levaduriforme que coloniza de manera habitual al organismo en diversos lugares. En la cavidad bucal de pacientes con enfermedades sistémicas convergen condiciones fisiológicas que propician el desarrollo de Candidiasis, por esta razón es reconocida como uno de los patógenos oportunistas más importantes. Dentro de la microbiota habitual del ser humano se encuentra el género bacteriano Lactobacillus, con especies ampliamente reconocidas como probióticas por presentar propiedades beneficiosas al individuo que lo consume en cantidades apropiadas, por lo que constituyen una interesante alternativa en la prevención y tratamiento de enfermedades, tales como la Candidiasis bucal. De allí que, el objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar de manera preliminar, mediante el uso de una técnica de difusión en agar modificada, la actividad antagónica de cinco (5) cepas de Lactobacillus probióticos sobre doce (12) aislados C. albicans obtenidos de lesiones bucales en pacientes con enfermedades sistémicas. Los resultados mostraron un 88,26% de inhibición promedio en el crecimiento de C. albicans, destacándose Lactobacillus paracasei spp. paracasei R71 con una inhibición total en el 91,66% de los aislados. Las cepas de Lactobacilos probióticos evaluadas representan una alternativa terapéutica natural para el tratamiento de la candidiasis bucal en pacientes con enfermedades sistémicas.

Material Mystery
Authors: MacKendrick Karmen
Published: January 2022

The material turn in the humanities (and social sciences) entails rejections along with its embrace of positive ideas about matter. It has largely rejected theology, though scholars of religion have begun to change this; and it rejects anthropocentrism, particularly the idea that humans are uniquely capable of knowledge and action. This book takes up three apparently anthropocentric myths that are central to Abrahamic religions—those of the primal human, the incarnated figure of a redeemer, and the resurrected body. At first glance, the existence of these stories seems to reinforce a very human-centered theology. Many ancient and medieval readings of each of these mythic figures, though, particularly within the versions of the religious traditions that emphasize Wisdom, offer possibilities for readings that expand knowing, agency, and even divinity into all of the matter of the world. These mythic readings of matter, beginning with but not restricted to human bodies, supplement our factual, scientific readings of the material world to engage wider kinds of knowing and affective attention.
Shattering Biopolitics
Authors: Waltham-Smith Naomi
Published: January 2022

At the root of the marginalizations of certain forms of life, even to the point where they are deemed unworthy of living, are often mishearings or failures to listen. In short, the relation between life or death is a matter of aurality. This book analyses how in recent continental political philosophy the thought of life is intimately intertwined with theories and figures of sound and listening. Specifically, it demonstrates how the prism of aurality sharpens the affinities and disagreements between Foucauldian and post-workerist Italian biopolitical theory on the one hand and French deconstruction on the other. To this end, the book stages a series of conversations, riddled with mishearings, between Jacques Derrida and Giorgio Agamben. Closer inspection reveals that the main points of contention circulate around or come into focus with figures of aurality: inarticulate voices, meaningless sounds, resonant echoes, syncopated rhythms, animal cries, bells, and telephone calls. Punctuating the theoretical chapters are a series of excurses on sound-art projects that interrogate aurality’s subordination and resistance to biopower from the incalculability of the sonorous to the impotence of speech acts. Above all, this book argues, it is sound’s capacity to shatter sovereignty, as if it were a glass made to vibrate at its natural frequency, that allows it to amplify and disseminate a power of life that refuses to be mastered.

Published: January 2022

The agrometeorological data of toria (variety M-27) at Jorhat and Shayamakhunta for the period 1986-87 to 1992-93 were used for assessing phenological development in relation to heat unit, water use, photothermal  and heliothermal unit and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) requirement at Shayamakhunta and Jorhat.  Photothermal, heliothermal unit,  water use and PAR were higher at Shayamakhunta than that of Jorhat. Heat use efficiency (HUE) and radiation use efficiency (RUE) also showed variations in time and space which were comparatively higher in early sown crops. A curvilinear relationship between duration (days) and heat units was derived seperately for sowing to flowering and pod formation to physiological maturity stages which showed consistent positive correlations at both locations.

Modernization of society have caused various momentous changes in dietary habits of people in this era of modern world. The modern dietary patterns are typically composed of Fatty acids mainly saturated fatty acids along with refined carbohydrates. This present-day diet together with a lifestyle with reduced physical activity is a major determinant of various metabolic disorders like obesity and diabetes. All these factors are also causing a gradual increase in the prevalence of cognitive disorders mainly depressive disorders and mood disorders. Neuroinflammation is the link between the metabolic disorders and cognitive disorders and this correlation is evident by significant clinical and epidemiological data. Fatty acids are of major interest as they have twofold functions. They are major contributors of modern diet causing obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders and on the other hand they serve as signaling molecules in the inflammatory responses. The difference lies in the choice of the fatty acids that are included as a part of daily diet. Saturated fatty acids are the ones should be avoided as they are the components of high caloric obesogenic diets whereas, polyunsaturated including Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids must be consume through daily foods to prevent from Neuroinflammation considered to be the major cause of neuropsychiatric disorders.
Theoretical and Applied Perspectives on Power: Recognizing Processes That Undermine Effective Community-University Partnerships
Authors: Sandmann Lorilee , Kliewer Brandon
Published: January 2022

Interrelational power dynamics are intimately connected to the success of any relationship and are especially critical in developing and sustaining mutually beneficial, reciprocally engaged partnerships. This work analyzes how elements of power impact the negotiation of engagement in community-university partnerships. Although this piece is a general theoretical account of power, it indicates very specific implications for community partners. A hypothetical example is used to contextualize distinct power challenges that confront community partners and faculty members during the engagement process. Specific attention is given to how organizational structure, the academic calendar, and the creation of knowledge influence produced understandings of differentials in power and differentials in need. The paper concludes with a discussion of three applied strategies that can be used to neutralize differentials in power and recognize differentials in need associated with the development of community-university partnerships. The theoretical language of differentials in power and differentials in need will arm practitioners with analytical tools to shape more meaningful partnerships.

As there is an enormous progress in the Information Technology field, there is also a rise in the economic which in turn creates a competition between the companies. In the Blockchain era we have entered the Supply Chain Management (SCM) System. Compared to the traditional Supply Chain Management System the Supply Chain Management using Blockchain is more effective and useful in its own ways, it also surpasses the limitations of the traditional supply chain management. Supply chain acts as a primary concern in the business field while transporting of the products among the producer and consumer in the right and systematic way. Many companies across the globe face many challenges to manage the supply chain from source to destiny. We have created a system which maintains a transparency of products and its source in Supply Chain using Blockchain. The objective of this system is the development of an integrated information system in which the digital stream of data generated in the supply chain of products can be assigned to these products. That’s the reason why the majority of companies nowadays approach this concept. There are significant advantages of adopting Blockchain in supply chain management, they are: Customer Fulfilment, Anti-Counterfeit, Identify the problems, cost efficiency and rise in Economy. Key Words: Blockchain, Supply chain, source, transparency, products, Counterfeit product, QR code

According to the author, the serious crisis of marriage and family in the European (Western) civilization shall be stopped with effective legal protection and government measures. Since the root causes are complex, the protection shall also be the same. The natural and social side of man shall also be taken into account. The phenomenon of domination shall also be eliminated both within marriage and family. The level of the current legal protection cannot be reduced, it can only be increased. The priority (constitutional) protection of traditional marriage and family as natural and fundamental values is not discriminatory.
‘Our Father’ – In or Out?
Authors: Savić Vanja-Ivan
Published: January 2022

This study discusses religious education in Croatian and European schools, within the overall context of religious symbols in public life. Europe is a vibrant and non-homogenous continent that comprises many cultures and traditions based mostly on Roman law. Various legal cultures and value systems have developed in Europe, which differ due to developmental variations within the European continental system. Religious education is offered in most European countries in various forms. Only three European countries, Albania, Slovenia, and (to some extent) France do not allow religious teaching in public schools. For instance, the crucifix is a part of faith and folklore in Italy, religious celebrations during Christmas, St. Nicholas Day, and Days of the Bread are part of the religious tradition in Croatia (forcibly) broken during the socialist Yugoslavia era, and crosses are present on the national flags of many nations, although their citizens might have forgotten why. Praying and mentioning God, and singing, do not harm anyone but, rather, can serve as a call for friendship, mutual understanding, and peace. It would be useful to create a legal document (e.g. a by-law) that established standards for such public behaviour in schools, which could be followed on a voluntary basis by students, including non-religious children. The Croatian State should organise alternative courses for children who do not follow religious education in order to diminish differences and prevent dissatisfaction and feelings of isolation. Also, education experts should consider the principles of Christian ethics, which secure respect for every citizen. Croatian history and legal traditions as well as International treaties between the Holy See and Croatia secure a place for ‘Our Father’ and other religious appearances in Croatian public schools. Prayer as well as religious folklore is an important part of religious education and thus an important part of regular curricula. It could be used to build respect for everyone within the Croatian community.

Authors: Csink Lóránt
Published: January 2022

Compulsory COVID vaccination is a timely question to ask as more and more countries introduce it. There is a growing body of case law and literature on child vaccination against a number of well-known diseases,[1] yet the current issue involving the compulsory vaccination of adults against COVID-19 presents a new case. I hypothesise as follows: (a) compulsory vaccination is constitutional, under certain conditions; (b) alternative behaviour must be tolerated if it produces the same end. I verify these hypotheses by analysing the role of conscience in vaccinations in general and in COVID-19 vaccination in particular. I consider the Hungarian context, but the conclusions might apply to other countries as well. The key issue is the extent to which the government should respect individual conscience during a pandemic. I first discuss what conscience is in legal terms. Second, I discuss the legal nature and background of COVID-19 vaccination. Third, I describe the decision of the Hungarian Constitutional Court on mandatory vaccination and compare the current situation with the previous one. Fourth, I analyse the outcome of the ‘comparative test of burdens’. Finally, I summarise my conclusions.
Legal Development of Non-Marital Union in Croatia
Authors: Korać Graovac Aleksandra
Published: January 2022

Legal development of non-marital union in Croatia went through different phases – from modest family law effects (property rights and the right to maintenance) in late seventies of the twentieth century to equating non-marital union with marriage nowadays, except the establishment of fatherhood and gaining common family name.

In the Family Act (2015) non-marital union refers to a life union between an unmarried woman and an unmarried man that has lasted for at least three years or for a shorter duration if a common child has been born therein or has been continued by entering a marriage.

The author underlines the problem of legal uncertainty that arises from the fact that non-marital union is informal and that preconditions for non-marital union effects are different in different legal branches. Overall, legal regulation of non-marital union in Croatia is inconsistent due to particular legal solutions.

The Right to Know One’s Origins in Light of the Legal Regulations of Adoption in Slovenia
Authors: Kraljić Suzana
Published: January 2022

The relationship between parents and children forms a central part of family law. As a rule, the legal relationship between children and parents also has a coherent biological starting point. However, a legal relationship between parents can also arise through adoption, where legal and biological relationships diverge. Children who have been adopted often want to know the identity of their biological parents. In the past, priority was given to the biological parents’ anonymity, but the child's right to know their origin is now at the forefront. Slovenia has implemented new family law legislation; however, it does not specifically address this subject. Adoption court proceedings are not uniform because of this inconsistency. Comparative law, however, provides varied approaches to exercising a child's right to know their origins or biological parents, which is now widely regarded as a critical part of one's identity. The author of the paper analyzes Slovenia's current legal regulations and compares it to contemporary ECtHR case law that has provided the groundwork for modern approaches to the legal regulation of a child's right to know their origin. In this article, the author also attempts to formulate proposals for changes to Slovenia's existing legislation, as well as proposals for de lege ferenda improvements, which, on the one hand, would bring Slovenia closer to realizing children’s rights, and, on the other hand, could lead to a unification of Slovenian court case law, ensuring greater legal certainty and predictability.
Freedom of Conscience and Religion in the Family and Criminal Law of the Slovak Republic
Authors: Vladár Vojtech
Published: January 2022

Freedom of conscience and religion is one of the most important areas of legal protection, reflecting a high level of both culture and democratization for contemporary states. This is especially significant for the countries of the former Eastern Bloc, which experienced decades of totalitarianism under socialist regimes. The protection of conscience and religious rights is always reflected in several sources of law, commencing with the constitution, and this is also the case of the Slovak Republic. The constitutional rights in this area were reflected also in other branches of law, such as family law, covering the private integrity of every individual, and criminal law, which deals with the most serious violations of legal norms. This study discusses the elements of state religious law contained in the family and criminal law of the Slovak Republic, starting with the nation’s older legal regulations.
A Typology of Social Media Regulations in Europe and Their Possible Future Development
Authors: Koltay András
Published: January 2022

Social media, search engines, and application platforms are the most important online gatekeepers from the perspective of freedom of expression. These routinely make ‘editorial’ decisions to make certain content inaccessible or to delete or remove it (either to comply with a legal obligation, to respect certain sensitivities, to protect their business interests or at their own discretion). Through such decisions, they directly influence the flow of information. The regulation of gatekeepers also determines the extent to which they are able or obliged to intervene in the process of publishing user content. The number and scope of regulations continue to grow, and the nature of these regulations is diversifying, even more so for online gatekeepers than for traditional media, and this imposes a wide range of rights and obligations on them. The paper reviews the regulations governing social media platforms in Europe, as gatekeepers, which have the greatest impact on the public sphere, typifying the regulations and considering possible directions for their future development.
Freedom of Expression and its Restrictions in Europe
Authors: Derenčinović Davor
Published: January 2022

Freedom of expression is not an absolute right and has limitations set up by international human rights treaties. The general clause of its limitation falls within the scope of the ‘rights of others’ as provided, for instance, in the European Convention of Human Rights. The role of the courts is to balance freedom of expression and the rights of others, performing a three-step test of legality, necessity, and proportionality of any restriction. However, according to the well-established case law of the European Court of Human Rights, some forms of expression do not enjoy protection under free speech clauses. Therefore, the European Court of Human Rights dismisses claims as manifestly inadmissible under Article 17. This ‘abuse’ clause is invoked when a particular claim is based on undermining the democratic values of a liberal state. The purpose of the abuse clause is to preserve the self-sustainability of the Convention. This paper aims to analyze whether fake news and disinformation campaigns fall under the scope of Article 17.
Legal Regulation of Religious Clothing in the Public Sphere in the Czech Republic in Light of the Case of a Muslim Student versus a Secondary School
Authors: Němec Damián
Published: January 2022

This study examines the issue of religious clothing in public spaces in the Czech Republic. It describes the legal regulation/restriction of this exercise of religious freedom in three areas: photographs on personal documents, face coverings at public assemblies, and religious clothes worn in schools. Regarding the third area, it examines in detail a Muslim student’s case against a medical secondary school. This case shows that the wearing of religious clothing is very loosely regulated in the Czech Republic and is restricted to a few specific areas.
Emotional Intelligence And Resiliency In Adolescents As It Relates To Student Success
Authors: Giorgi Kelly
Published: January 2022

When students feel safe expressing their emotions without the fear of being ridiculed by peers (or adults) they can open their minds to learning. It is imperative that educators take an active role in implementing programs that identify students struggling with mental health issues and provide interventions to teach healthy coping strategies so that students are able to be more active participants in their education. There are many ways in which educators can work with adolescents; providing tools to effectively manage emotions can assist students in moving forward, problem solving, decision making, and connecting with others. It is suggested that individuals with more highly developed emotional intelligence are more successful personally and professionally. This paper explores the relationship of emotional intelligence and resiliency in adolescents and how it relates to academic and personal success. Explanations of emotional intelligence and resiliency are given. Several techniques and methods of building these skills are explored as well. A review of peer reviewed articles and studies are included. Keywords: Emotional intelligence, resiliency, student success, adolescent mental health, Goleman, Reivich, Shatté
Listening to Bob Dylan
Authors: Starr Larry
Published: January 2022

This book presents the importance of listening to Bob Dylan’s recorded work as the essential basis for a deeper understanding and appreciation of his achievements. Here is a guide for both the curious listener and the enthusiastic Dylan fan, for both the nonspecialist who enjoys music and the professional. While fully acknowledging his celebrated gifts as a lyricist, this book embraces Dylan’s primary identity as a performing songwriter. For Bob Dylan, the creation of music, and its interpretation by voice and instruments, are as important as the words he sings. His performances offer inspired examples of an inclusive art form that is much more than the simple sum of its individual parts. Dozens of individual songs receive detailed attention, ranging from those released on Bob Dylan’s first album (1962) to those heard on his latest (2020) and including widely heralded selections like “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Like a Rolling Stone” along with lesser-known numbers equally worthy of discussion. Individual chapters explore Dylan’s recordings from multiple standpoints: his vocal style, the role of his harmonica, the songs as musical compositions, the instrumental arrangements, and the differences between live and studio performances of particular songs. A composite picture emerges of Dylan as a versatile, astute, and expressive artist, truly a man (in Duke Ellington’s words) “beyond category.”
