Air Passenger Rights Case Law Developments from 1 December 2023 to 15 June 2024
Authors: Erotokritou Chrystel , Mateou Sofia
Published: August 2024

From 1 December 2023 to 15 June 2024, there have been several case developments in relation to air passenger rights. The first part of this article highlights recent decisions from the Court of Justice of the European Union that have shed light on the interpretation of EU Regulation No 261/2004, Package Travel Directive (EU) 2015/2302 and Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts.In the case Laudamotion GmbH v. flightright GmbH the Court stressed the standardized nature of compensation for a flight delay and held that for compensation claims under Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 due to a significant flight delay, passengers must adhere to the check-in requirements specified by the airline, even if they have already completed online check-in.In the case Eventmedia Soluciones SL v. Air Europa Líneas Aéreas SAU, the Court defined the rules governing the inclusion, in a contract of carriage, of a clause prohibiting the transfer of rights by passengers and the right of claim management companies to bring proceedings against airlines. In the case Cobult UG v. TAP Air Portugal SA (TAP), the Court clarified the rules applicable to passengers’ consent to the reimbursement of the cost of their ticket by a travel voucher rather than by a sum of money. In the case Touristic Aviation Services Limited (TAS) v. Flightright GmbH, the Court ruled that the shortage of staff at the airport responsible for baggage handling could be considered an extraordinary circumstance, provided the airline could demonstrate that they had taken all reasonable measures to prevent the delay.In the case QM v. Kiwi Tours GmbH, the Court held that to establish the existence of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances significantly impacting the performance of a travel package, for the purpose of claiming a refund under Directive (EU) 2015/2302, only the situation prevailing on the date when the traveler terminated their travel contract should be considered. In the case Eventmedia Soluciones SL v. Air Europa Líneas Aéreas, the Court ruled on the fairness of clauses governing the assignment of rights by passengers to third parties under Directive 93/13/EEC on Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts.
30 Years of the Economic European Area; a Tax Law Perspective
Authors: Korving Jasper
Published: August 2024

In 2024, the European Economic Area (EEA) will have existed for thirty years. During that time, the EEA Agreement has served its cause to enlarge the European internal market to Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. Covering fundamental freedoms that need to be interpreted comparably to the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU’s (TFEU’s) fundamental freedoms, a significant amount of case law interpreting the EEA Agreement’s fundamental freedoms has been established from both the CJEU and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) Court. The author attempts to elucidate the approach taken by both courts to come to judgments creating a homogenous interpretation and application of EU law to the largest possible extent. Besides that, the extension of EU directives to cover EEA situations is relevant. The EEA Agreement foresees a procedure for that, but it does not thus far cover substantive direct tax directives. The author argues that some arguments still exist following which EU direct tax directives should actually be added to the EEA Agreement.
Five Years of Digital Services Taxes in Europe: What Have We Learned?
Authors: Kaźmierczak Mateusz
Published: August 2024

This article aims to assess whether digital services taxes (DSTs) have been effective in achieving their policy goals as well as identify key unresolved questions and highlight how the evidence from five years of DSTs’ existence in Europe can help in resolving them. The article analyses DSTs’ key policy goals with a particular focus on the equalization of the tax gap and creating fair taxation in the context of a tax incidence. It is based on publicly available data related to introducing five selected DSTs based on the similarity of both their design and the economic situation of the countries in which they were introduced. The collected revenue, fiscal efficiency of these taxes, and taxpayers’ reactions strongly indicate that DSTs have been passed on to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and consumers to a great extent while yielding negligible revenues that contradicts their policy goals. Due to limitations in data availability and the occurrence of two significant disruptions in the economy during the analysed period, some questions remain unanswered. Therefore, in the context of theoretical economic literature applicable to the case of DSTs, this author indicates where additional in-depth research and governmental analysis of DSTs is necessary and what the possible approaches are to obtain sufficient grounds for political decisions regarding introducing similar measures.

O estudo contido neste trabalho propõe-se a mostrar a análise incremental da taxa interna de retorno aplicada em dois projetos industriais diferentes e exclusivos entre si. O objetivo é propor aos leitores que não se pode indicar um investimento entre duas alternativas apenas pela maior taxa interna de retorno (TIR), mesmo que ambas sejam maiores que a taxa mínima de atratividade (TMA), ou seja, mostrar que a maior TIR nem sempre indica o melhor investimento. Este estudo se justifica devido ao fato da TIR ser o método mais utilizado para análise de investimento entre avaliadores de projetos industriais. Este é um trabalho quantitativo, onde será calculada a taxa interna de retorno de dois projetos industriais, bem como a taxa interna de retorno do fluxo de caixa incremental proveniente de ambos os projetos. Também será utilizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica que proporcionou a esse estudo uma revisão teórica do assunto. Foi obtido como resultado que o melhor projeto a se escolher em caso visto no artigo, não foi o de maior taxa interna de retorno, e sim o de menor taxa interna de retorno. Por fim concluímos que a análise incremental da taxa interna de retorno (TIR) é indispensável para a análise de dois projetos que sejam economicamente viáveis.

Elevated CA125 values predict adverse outcomes in acute heart failure.
Authors: Zhang Ji , Li Wenhua , Hui Jie , Xiao Jianqiang
Published: August 2024

Abstract. In acute heart failure (AHF), elevated carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) have been shown to correlate with adverse events. We sought to quantify their prognostic usefulness in predicting the six-month combined death/heart failure readmis-sion endpoint. The study included 352 patients admitted for AHF. The primary endpoint was the six-month combined endpoint of death/AHF rehospitaliza-tion. CA125 and NTproBNP were dichotomized according to the best cut-offs to predict the six-month primary endpoint. The independent association of CA125 and NTproBNP with the primary endpoint was assessed by multivari-ate Cox regression analysis, and their incremental prognostic utility was evalu-ated by net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) index. Forty-seven (13.4%) deaths and 113 (32.1%) AHF rehospitalizations were identified at the six-month follow-up. The subjects with CA125≥39.7 U/mL and NTproBNP≥3900 pg/mL had significantly higher cu-mulative event rates (56.1% vs. 33.3% and 53.3% vs. 33.8%, both p<0.001). Elevated CA125 (HR 1.93; 95% CI [1.32-2.83]; p=0.001) was associated with a higher HR (hazard ratio) than NTproBNP≥3900 pg/mL (HR 1.71; 95% CI [1.19-2.48]; p=0.004) after adjusting for established risk factors. Elevated CA125 still independently predicted adverse events when CA125 and NTproB-NP entered the same multivariate model. Furthermore, risk reclassification analyses demonstrated significant improvements in NRI of 22.3% (p=0.014) and IDI of 2.7% (p=0.012) when adding CA125 to the base model + NTproBNP. Elevated CA125 and NTproBNP predicted adverse outcomes in AHF patients. CA125 added prognostic value to NTproBNP; thus, their combination conferred greater predictive capacity.

Published: August 2024

Abstract. Non-surgical correction of class II skeletal malocclusions begins at an early age, during the growth and development of the jaw. Treatments tend to be relatively long and generate financial commitments for the family. Predict-ing the success and stability of the results can be helpful for parents who wish to know about the prognosis and make the right decision to start treatment. This work reports the findings of the prediction of the response to treatment of a skel-etal class II malocclusion and its long-term stability in a thirteen-year-old male patient. The individual prediction cephalometric model of Baccetti and Franchi was applied. According to this indicator, the treatment of this patient would re-sult in “a great response”. The patient was treated with a Herbst-type fixed man-dibular anterior projection appliance, followed by brackets for the final detailing of the occlusion. Sixteen years later, after finishing treatment, the correction of the Class II malocclusion, the overbite and the harmony in the profile with the projection of the mandible forwards are maintained by the increase in the total mandibular length (13 mm), and through the opening of the angle between the ramus and mandibular body from 122° to 128°. In conclusion, the individual pre-diction cephalometric model applied, particularly in this case report, allowed us to accurately predict the excellent response and stability of the facial, dental and skeletal results of the class II skeletal malocclusion treatment.

В статье рассматривается роль независимых творческих союзов художников на современном арт-рынке. Примерами таких организаций, действующих в нашей стране, являются Евразийский художественный союз, Союз русских художников, Творческий союз профессиональных художников, сообщество «Новые передвижники» и др. Что дает художнику членство в таких союзах? Сегодня в условиях индивидуализированного общества, одной из отличительных черт которого является кризис идентичности (в том числе профессиональной), эти объединения дают художнику возможность осознать себя частью творческого сообщества, основанного на принципах свободного взаимодействия. Кроме того, эти новые формы творческих объединений создаются с учетом требований и изменений современного арт-рынка, благодаря чему у художника возрастают шансы сделать успешную карьеру. Автор считает, что независимые творческие союзы являются важным многофункциональным звеном в сегодняшнем арт-мире.

The article examines the role of independent creative unions of artists in the modern art market. The Eurasian Art Union, the Union of Russian Artists, the Creative Union of Professional Artists, the New Wanderers Community, etc. can become the examples of such organizations operating in our country. The question is, what does membership in such unions give to an artist? Today, when society is so individualized and has such distinctive features as the crisis of identity (including professional one), these associations give the artist the opportunity to realize himself as a part of a creative community, which itself based on the principles of free interaction. In addition, these new forms of creative associations increase the chances of an artist making a successful career by the fact that they were created according to the requirements and changes of the modern art market. According to all these facts, this makes independent creative unions an important multifunctional link in the today's art world.

Authors: Loo Daron Benjamin , Sundaresan Anita , Jee Leong Jin
Published: August 2024

International student mobility is a common phenomenon observed globally, especially in higher education settings where English is used as the main medium of instruction. In such settings, international students may find themselves using English along with their first language for social or academic purposes. This study examines international students’ perspectives towards translanguaging in a university setting. With a mixed-methods approach, an anonymous online questionnaire and open-ended survey were distributed to international students. A total of 74 international students comprising 16 nationalities completed the survey. From the quantitative data, the students indicated a generally positive perspective towards translanguaging, especially to become more confident in English use and to relate better with other international students. Further quantitative analysis indicated that the perceptions differed significantly across years of study. The qualitative data provided further insights regarding translanguaging, namely the suitability of using a shared language in a formal learning context, such as in the classroom. All in all, this study was able to provide further insights into international students’ perspectives towards translanguaging.
Translation Challenges: The Case of Edo
Authors: Omoregbe Esohe Mercy , Edionhon Edosa James
Published: August 2024

Translation according to Uwajeh (2005), is the linguistic communication activity whereby the information expressed with some given construct, called a ‘source text’, of a given language (a source language), is re-expressed with some equivalent construct, called the ‘target text’, of another given language (the target language). The study investigates the challenges an Edo translator encounters when translating either from English to Edo or from Edo to English. The study sets out to help the Edo native speakers have the additional competence of reading and writing in the Edo language. The data for the study was collected from native speakers of Edo who can read and write the language and through direct interviews with those who are competent in speaking the language. The theoretical framework adopted for this study is the formal correspondence and dynamic equivalence. The study reveals that the non-harmonization of the orthography of the language is one of the challenges an Edo translator would encounter. Ambiguity and thematic inconstancy present another difficulty (caused by the difference in the cultures of the source and target languages). The study offers sufficient support for the proposal that the writing system be harmonized in order to decrease the challenges that language users have when accurately writing the Edo language, particularly when translating.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of coating time with belimbing wuluh (averrhoa blimbi) extract in reducing the heavy metal mercury (Hg) levels in Mozambique tilapia (O.mossambicus). This research employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method where the data were analyzed using variance analysis (ANOVA) and further tested by Duncan's multiple range test. The study was conducted using an experimental approach with two replications at three different locations: downstream (Bolangitang River), midstream (Sonuo Village), and upstream (Ollot Village). The treatments involved different coating times with averrhoa blimbi extract. The treatment levels consisted of four control levels: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes. The research results demonstrated that a 15-minute coating time with averrhoa blimbi extract significantly reduced mercury levels in Mozambique tilapia in the downstream area of the Bolangitang River, with the highest reduction percentage reaching 63%. Meanwhile, the lowest reduction percentage was observed in the midstream area (Sonuo Village), with a 10-minute coating time resulting in a reduction percentage of 20.01%. Thus, the coating time of averrhoa blimbi extract was 50% effective in reducing heavy metal mercury (Hg) levels. This study contributes significantly to understanding the potential use of natural materials in addressing heavy metal pollution in freshwater ecosystems. It also highlights the relevance of utilizing local materials such as averrhoa blimbi as an alternative in conservation efforts and the protection of the environment and fisheries resources.
Reading For Writing: Exploring English Language Education Study Program Students’ In Improving Their Writing Skills
Authors: Pilongo Jolanda Hulda Debora , Hatibie Yunita , Gobel Megi Sepriyanti
Published: August 2024

This study aims to investigate how students in the English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) adopt their reading activities to stimulate improvement in writing English texts. This qualitative descriptive study focuses on participants from the Class of 2020. Data collection methods include pre-interviews, interviews, and analysis of students' writing samples. The data is subsequently analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The results indicate that students' experiences significantly influence their writing skills. A lack of experience often results in lower motivation to write, which in turn leads to poorer writing performance and lower scores. Although students recognize the importance of reading for enhancing writing skills, their reading abilities alone do not necessarily translate into improved writing proficiency. The findings suggest that while engaging in reading activities can help students overcome some writing difficulties, it does not have a substantial impact on overall writing improvement. This underscores the need for more comprehensive approaches that integrate reading with other skill-enhancing activities to better support students' writing development. Further research could explore additional factors that contribute to writing proficiency and develop strategies to more effectively bridge the gap between reading and writing skills.
Demokratisasi dan Media Massa di Indonesia
Authors: Melati  , Nurdin Muhammad , Putri Viola Augustia
Published: August 2024

This research analyzes the role of mass media in the democratization process in Indonesia after the fall of the New Order in 1998. Using a literature study method, this research evaluates the role of mass media in disseminating information, facilitating public dialogue, and strengthening government accountability. Political reforms have allowed the media to report important issues more freely, contributing to government transparency and accountability. The mass media also serves as a platform for public discussion, helping the public understand national issues and become more critical voters. However, the mass media faces significant challenges, including intense competition among media channels, dependence on political and economic interests, and the risk of information manipulation. The research results show that despite these challenges, the mass media remains a vital element in promoting democratization in Indonesia by increasing public participation and political transparency. Steps to strengthen media integrity and professionalism, as well as media education for the public, are essential to ensure that the mass media can continue to play a role as a pillar of a healthy and sustainable democracy.

Published: August 2024

This research aimed to investigate the frequency and reasons for using fillers during proposal seminar presentations among students in the English Department. The study involved five students who took the proposal seminar exam on March 18, 2022. Using a mixed-method approach, data were collected and analyzed to identify the types and frequency of fillers used, as well as the underlying reasons for their use. The findings revealed that the frequency of unlexicalized fillers was higher (172 occurrences, average 74.78) compared to lexicalized fillers (31 occurrences, average 13.48). The main reasons for using fillers included nervousness, forgetting what to say, reflexive habits, and difficulty finding the right words. These results highlight the need for students to improve their speaking skills and practice more to minimize the use of fillers during presentations. Additionally, it is suggested that lecturers focus on reducing the use of fillers in speaking classes to enhance students' performance and confidence in public speaking. This research provides valuable insights for educators in developing more effective teaching strategies to improve students' oral communication skills.
