How Do Internal Auditors Assess the Importance and their Knowledge of Innovative Technologies and what are Major Knowledge-Gaps?
Authors: Feliciano Cristiano , Quick Reiner , Eulerich Marc
Published: September 2024

Der Einsatz innovativer IT in der Innenrevision kann nützlich sein. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden die zukünftige Bedeutung digitaler Technologien und die aktuellen Kenntnisse aus dem Blickwinkel Interner Revisoren untersucht. Auf der Grundlage einer Durchsicht der einschlägigen Literatur und von Interviews mit Internen Revisoren konnten 19 Technologien identifiziert werden, die Gegenstand einer Umfrage waren. An dieser nahmen Berufsangehörige aus drei Ländern (Deutschland, Österreich und Schweiz) teil. Es ergaben sich 143 auswertungsfähige Antworten. Die Untersuchungsteilnehmer schätzen 15 Technologien als besonders wichtig ein. Die Kenntnisse der befragten Internen Revisoren sind für die meisten IT hingegen gering, auch für solche mit vermutlich besonders hoher künftiger Bedeutung, wie z.B. Data Mining. Ergänzende Regressionsanalysen zeigen, dass erfahrenere Revisoren, jüngere Teilnehmer und Befragte, die nicht in der Finanzbranche tätig sind, neuartige Technologien für wichtiger erachten. Männliche Revisoren verfügen über bessere IT-Kenntnisse als ihre weiblichen Pendants. Schließlich zeigt sich eine hohe Diskrepanz zwischen künftiger Bedeutung und aktuellen Kenntnissen. Somit bedarf es besonderer Anstrengungen, insbesondere des Berufsstands, um diese Lücke zu schließen.
Judicial Protection in EU Cross-Border Evidence-Gathering: the EIO as a Case
Authors: Mosna Anna
Published: September 2024

The article discusses structures of judicial scrutiny in EU cross-border investigations through the lens of the rules applicable to European Investigation Order (EIO) proceedings. These function according to an updated and, thus, more flexible approach to the principle of mutual recognition that entails a stronger accent on fundamental rights protection and on the respect of a European ordre public. As recent decisions of the Court of Justice have, moreover, aimed at increasing common minimum standards of judicial protection in this field and as the Court has extended the EIO system of judicial protection also to other domains of EU cross-border investigations, the EIO presents itself an ideal case study about the main components of judicial protection in EU cross-border evidence gathering.
Scope of Judicial Review in the Executing State in EIO Proceedings
Authors: Daniele Marcello
Published: September 2024

The article addresses the issue of the scope of judicial review in the executing State in EIO proceedings. According to the EIO Directive, such a control should operate within the limits of the principle of equivalence with similar domestic cases. However, in the situations in which a judicial review is provided by lex loci, it is not clear how far the control should be allowed to arrive. Should it be a mere “formal” control? Or should it be extended to substantive aspects, such as the admissibility requirements of the investigative measure requested with the EIO? The thesis of the formal control has more than one argument on its side. However, if the need of efficient cooperation call for narrowing the boundaries of control in the executing State, it becomes indispensable to further enhance judicial review in the issuing State. To this end, the author argues that it is possible to read the EIO Directive in the sense that it provides an exclusionary rule of evidence gathered abroad in violation of fundamental rights.

Die Verfolgung der Sinti und Roma in Germersheim im Nationalsozialismus
Authors: Blender Wolfgang
Published: September 2024

Die furchtbaren Verbrechen der Nationalsozialisten an der jüdischen Bevölkerung sind weithin bekannt. Weitaus seltener hört man von den Grausamkeiten, die den Menschen der Sinti und Roma wider fahren sind. Als „minderwertige Rasse“ wurden sie als „Zigeuner“ diskriminiert und sahen sich Schikane ausgesetzt. Unzählige von ihnen wurden verfolgt, zahlreiche ermordet. Auch Germersheim gehörte zu den Schauplätzen dieser Gräueltaten. Doch auch hier sind die Schicksale dieser Menschen noch kaum geläufig. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit wird versucht, das Leben der in Germersheim verfolgten Sinti und Roma zu dokumentieren, um die Geschehnisse nachvollziehen zu können und ihren Schicksalen Gehör zu verschaffen.
Zwischen Arbeitseinsatz und Rassenpolitik
Authors: Brüntrup Marcel
Published: September 2024

Marcel Brüntrup untersucht die Entstehung der nationalsozialistischen »Ausländerkinder-Pflegestätten« im Kontext von Zwangsarbeit und Rassenpolitik. In den letzten Jahren der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft entstand im Deutschen Reich ein flächendeckendes Netz improvisierter Betreuungseinrichtungen für die Kinder ausländischer Zwangsarbeiterinnen. In diesen euphemistisch als »Ausländerkinder-Pflegestätten« bezeichneten Heimen verloren zehntausende Kinder aufgrund unzureichender Versorgung, Hygiene und Pflege ihr Leben – das gewollte Ergebnis einer menschenfeindlichen Politik, die auf die restlose Ausbeutung der Arbeiterinnen und die gewaltsame rassische Homogenisierung des deutschen Volkes abzielte. Parallel dazu sollten erzwungene Abtreibungen an osteuropäischen Zwangsarbeiterinnen die Geburt »rassisch unerwünschter« Kinder von vornherein verhindern. Marcel Brüntrup beleuchtet die Entstehungsgeschichte der »Ausländerkinder-Pflegestätten« sowie der damit zusammenhängenden Maßnahmen und liefert Einblicke in die Lebenswirklichkeiten betroffener Zwangsarbeiterinnen und ihrer Kinder.

Formverlangen
Authors: Stöckmann Ingo
Published: September 2024

Eine Neudeutung im Zeichen der Form – der vermeintliche Antimodernist Rudolf Borchardt rückt erstmals in das Zentrum der Formtheorie der klassischen Moderne. Seit sich die Forschung zu Rudolf Borchardt deutlich belebt hat, reproduziert sie beharrlich das Bild eines kulturkonservativen Antimodernisten. Auch die breite editorische Erschließung seines Werks, die eine Gestalt von überraschender Universalität und Dialogfreude sichtbar gemacht hat, hat an diesem Bild nichts geändert. Ingo Stöckmanns Buch »Formverlangen« lenkt den Blick demgegenüber auf die vielgestaltige literarische Formtheorie, die Borchardts Essays und Reden ausarbeiten – gleich ob sie vom Zusammenbruch der Überlieferung, ihrer ›schöpferischen Restauration‹ in hoch ambitionierten Übersetzungs- und Editionsprojekten, von bewunderten Referenzautoren, historischen Architekturen und Kulturlandschaften, der entfesselten Wanderschaft von Menschen und Dingen durch die Katastrophen der Geschichte oder dem Schicksal der Philologien sprechen. Damit wird Borchardts Formdenken als zentrales Theoriemoment einer literarischen Moderne sichtbar, in der die rauschenden Sprachbeschwörungen und idiosynkratischen Konzeptwelten des Autors nie heimisch werden wollten. Dennoch gehören sie dieser Moderne an: In dem Maße, in dem der Name »Borchardt« im Rahmen der Studie nur der Name für ein Formproblem ist, ist Borchardts ›Antimodernismus‹ ein Selbstmissverständnis des Autors.
Die Universität zu Köln im Nationalsozialismus
Authors: Ullmann Hans-Peter
Published: September 2024

Als städtische Gründung war die Universität zu Köln ein Sonderfall unter den deutschen Hochschulen. Was folgte daraus für ihre Entwicklung in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus? Die Universität zu Köln nahm im deutschen Hochschulsystem eine Sonderstellung ein. Sie zählte zu den neuen Großstadtuniversitäten, hob sich vor allem aber als von der Stadt Köln 1919 gegründete, von dieser getragene und finanzierte akademische Institution von anderen Hochschulen ab. Hans-Peter Ullmann untersucht, wie diese Besonderheiten zunächst den Weg der Universität in die nationalsozialistische Diktatur begünstigt, dann ihre Nazifizierung sowohl vorangetrieben als auch begrenzt und schließlich den Schritt in die Demokratie erschwert haben. Es zeigt einerseits, dass die Kölner Universität als Kind des »Weimarer Systems« und im katholischen Rheinland gelegen vom NS-Staat nicht gut gelitten war, weshalb ihre Schließung mehrfach zur Diskussion stand. Andererseits wird deutlich, dass viele Kölner Professoren und eine Mehrheit der Studierenden die Weimarer Republik abgelehnt, sich nach 1933 in unterschiedlichem Grad auf den Nationalsozialismus eingelassen sowie der Vertreibung jüdischer und politisch missliebiger Hochschulangehöriger nicht widersprochen haben. So fügte sich die Universität zu Köln in das Regime ein und trug dieses von Anfang bis Ende mit, nicht zuletzt im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Diese Kollaboration verdrängte die Hochschule in den Jahren des Wiederaufbaus und der Entnazifizierung nach 1945.
Persistent pyrosis revealing generalized myasthenia gravis
Authors: Diallo Bachir Mansour
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Autoimmune myasthenia gravis is a condition associated with autoimmune disruption of neuromuscular transmission. Digestive manifestations are common, but lead to misdiagnosis. Observation : An 18-year-old female with no specific pathological history was treated for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with persistent pyrosis and ulcerative epigastralgia, which prompted several consultations. An oesogastroduodenal transit revealed oesophageal dilatation with stage, and fibroscopy confirmed oesophageal dilatation and the presence of erythematous antral gastritis. In the internal medicine consultation, she presented with motor deficit in all 4 limbs and a waddling gait. Biological tests revealed positive anti-choline acetyl receptor antibodies. The electroneuromyogram suggested generalized myasthenia. We noted a good clinical course with symptomatic treatment of digestive disorders, pyridostigmine and conventional immunosuppressants. Conclusion: Digestive disorders can complicate generalized myasthenia. They should prompt a holistic diagnostic approach for better patient management.
Lipschütz ulcer: report and follow-up of a clinical case
Authors: Gómez Aguilar Dalia L.
Published: September 2024

Acute genital ulcer, also referred to as “Lipschütz ulcer”, is a relatively uncommon non-sexually transmitted condition characterized by the rapid onset of a necrotic and painful ulcer within the vulvar region. This condition predominantly affects adolescents and young women, irrespective of sexual activity, and may manifest with symptoms resembling those of influenza or mononucleosis. Notably, acute genital ulcers have been linked to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection as well as other viral or bacterial infections; nonetheless, the etiology often remains elusive. The case under consideration involves a 13-year-old girl who, devoid of preceding vaginal or oral ulceration and without a history of sexual contact, presented with a rapidly progressive vulvar ulcer accompanied by episodic low-grade fever and upper respiratory tract infection, commencing two days prior. Following the exclusion of infectious causative factors, the lesion spontaneously resolved, with Epstein-Barr serology yielding indeterminate results, culminating in the diagnosis of Lipschütz ulcer.

Az idősek sérelmére elkövetett erőszakba torkolló vagyon elleni bűncselekmények kriminológiai sajátosságai
Authors: Bolyky Orsolya , Sárik Eszter
Published: September 2024

Kutatásunk során a nem erőszakosnak induló, azonban erőszakba forduló, vagyontárgy megszerzésére irányuló, idős sértettek sérelmére elkövetett bűncselekmények rendőrségi és ügyészségi aktáit – összesen 104 aktát – elemeztük, elsősorban annak érdekében, hogy megtaláljuk a magatartás átváltozásának szituációs és pszichológiai okait. Az így megvalósított deliktumok végül többnyire rablásnak, a sértett halála esetén nyereségvágyból elkövetett emberölésnek minősülnek. Az elkövetők tipikusan fiatal, alacsony szocioökonómiai státuszú, büntetett előéletű férfiak voltak. A legveszélyeztetettebb csoportba a közterületen egyedül tartózkodó, a kívülálló számára jól láthatóan lassú, nehézkes, bizonytalan mozgású idős emberek tartoztak. A sértettek másik kategóriájába az egyedül élő, az otthonukban egyedül tartózkodó idősek kerültek. A lopásnak indult deliktumok jellemzően akkor fordultak át erőszakos cselekménybe, amikor az áldozatok fizikai ellenállást tanúsítottak – ez általában a náluk lévő szatyor, táska el nem engedését jelentette. A bántalmazás módja leggyakrabban lökés vagy a földre rántás volt.

Authors: Barutçu Emre , Erkan Birol
Published: September 2024

This study aims to reveal the level of specialization in foreign trade of N11 countries (Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Iran, South Korea, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Turkey and Vietnam) by using the Net Trade Index (NTI) with data for the period 2000-2022. In this context, the level of specialization in the foreign trade of these countries is analyzed sectorally on the basis of technology according to ISIC Rev. 3 classification. A few of the countries examined were able to gain competitive advantage and comparative advantage in foreign trade only in certain product sectors during the period under review. The disadvantage in other products negatively affects the competitiveness of the countries in foreign trade throughout the period analyzed. When we make an analysis for the future periods, it is concluded that if a few of the countries invest in technology-intensive sectors, they can gain a comparative advantage in the framework of foreign trade.
CLASSIFICATION OF PUMPKIN SEEDS USING MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES
Authors: Mehr Ali Qasimi
Published: September 2024

Accurate and effective seed classification techniques are crucial for seed quality control and crop production optimization, as the need for healthy, high-quality seeds in agriculture continues to rise. With their high oil content and excellent nutritional value, pumpkin seeds are one of the main oil crops. A key component of precision breeding and variety enhancement is the identification and gathering of various pumpkin germplasm resources. Due to its sufficient amounts of protein, fat, carbohydrates, and minerals, pumpkin seeds are eaten raw, roasted, marinated, and sweetened as a dessert around the world. Thus, "UrğüpSivrisi" and "Çerçevelik," the two most significant and high-quality varieties of pumpkin seeds, which are often grown in Turkey's Ügrüp and Karacaören region, were the subject of this study. Nevertheless, measurements of 2500 morphological seeds of both types were achievable through the use of threshold approaches in their gray and binary forms. In order to identify the most effective technique for categorizing pumpkin seed varieties, all the data were modeled using six different machine learning techniques that took morphological features into account: Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), kNearest Neighbor (k-NN), Decision Tree Classifier (DT), and Naive Bayes Algorithm (NV). A total of 87.06 percent for LR, 88 percent for SVM, 88.2 percent for RF, 87 percent for k-NN, 87 percent for DT and 86 for NV were the classifiers’ accuracy rates. The results have demonstrated that the proposed Random Forest classification Algorithm achieved a satisfactory overall accuracy of 88.2.
BIOREMEDIATION OF SPENT OIL - CONTAMINATED SOIL USING BIOSTIMULANTS
Authors: Nna Orji, Chinenye
Published: September 2024

Anthropogenic activities such as those occurring in mechanical workshops have caused environmental pollution. Bioremediation, a biological method that is cost effective, safer and environmentally friendlyfor reclaiming polluted land can be utilized to degrade the spent oil in soil. This study compared the bioremediation of spent oil-contaminated soil using biostimulants such as organic and inorganic biostimulants and attenuated microcosms within a short period via appropriate standard methods. The initial residual oil content of the microcosm bio-stimulated with various quantities of inorganic fertilizer ranged from 0.022±0.03 to 0.036±0.01 g/g, while at the end of the 42-day incubation period, the residual oil content ranged from 0.013±0.00 to 0.023±0.00 g/g. However, the amount of residual oil in the microcosms biostimulated with organic fertilizer ranged from 0.033±0.01 to 0.024±0.00 g/g at the outset and from 0.010± 0.00 to 0.023±0.00 g/g at the end of the process. The mean residual oil content of the attenuated microcosm ranged from 0.056±0.01 g/g at the beginning of the biostimulation period to 0.045±0.00 g/g at the end of the incubation period. The number of colony-forming units of the inherent microbes ranged from 1.7 × 103 to 4.2 × 1010 CFU/g. The results indicate that the biostimulants stimulated the growth of inherent microbes for the biodegradation of spent oil by utilizing the spent oil as the sole source of carbon, thereby remediating the contaminated soil. The results also showed that both organic and inorganic fertilizers can be used as biostimulants, but organic fertilizers add their inherent microbes to contaminated soil, thereby increasing the microbial load of the soil, which enhances its remediation.

Dosagem de misturas asfálticas relacionada com o desempenho: uma revisão da literatura
Authors: Lamha Rocha Marcos , Aragão Francisco Thiago Sacramento , Herrmann do Nascimento Luis Alberto
Published: September 2024

Desde as primeiras aplicações de misturas asfálticas como materiais constituintes de camadas de pavimentos, no final do século XIX, surgiu a necessidade da adoção de uma metodologia para definir as proporções adequadas de cada componente da mistura, em um processo conhecido como dosagem. Atualmente, as metodologias de dosagem são, em geral, baseadas unicamente em parâmetros volumétricos, o que não permite avaliar o desempenho do material. Este artigo apresenta uma revisão das tendências passadas, presentes e futuras no projeto de misturas asfálticas, considerando diferentes métodos desenvolvidos na busca pela geração de misturas mais resistentes às demandas cada vez maiores do tráfego. São avaliados aspectos relacionados às metodologiais atuais de dosagem e suas limitações, o conceito e trabalhos atuais sobre mistura balanceada, assim como um resumo dos principais ensaios de desempenho de misturas asfálticas. Os resultados da revisão indicam uma clara evolução para procedimentos de dosagem que combinam volumetria e desempenho, promovendo a seleção mais adequada de materiais e suas combinações, além de otimizar a vida útil das misturas asfálticas no campo. No entanto, a pesquisa destaca lacunas significativas, como a necessidade de estudos experimentais que validem novos métodos de dosagem e a integração de ensaios de desempenho mais avançados. Essas lacunas representam oportunidades importantes para futuras pesquisas experimentais que podem contribuir para a inovação e a eficiência no projeto de misturas asfálticas.

Exile Testimonio in Rudhramoorthy Cheran’s A Second Sunrise
Authors: Santhosh Kumar L. , Mathew Fr. Joshy
Published: September 2024

Literature envisions socio-political realities, and also, at the same time, it acts as a bridge between the known and unknown. Texts in contemporary times are gaining momentum owing to the showcase of political monopolisation. At the same time, they draw a line between the personal and the political to understand the veracity of original truths. The historicity of text and the textuality of history are the predominant factors which determine the literariness of a text, and it also makes literature Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary. Exile Testimonio, as a theoretical discourse, acts as a threat to the power structures which operate at different levels owing to the impact of political monopolisation. Rudhramoorthy Cheran is a renowned poet who firmly emphasises the fact that poetry is a tool to foreground the unheard truths of the oppressed voices of his country and also, at the same time, attacks history, which exemplifies the falsified truths and histories. Researchers here emphasise the fact that Exile and Testimonio are not irreconcilable binaries, and exile testimonio confronts the impact created by the falsified truths and how these truths have ramified the political discourses which created havoc for the natives, which resulted in the mindscape and the landscape of the people.
