Published: November 2022

The aim of this paper is to present how the online interpreter training was conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic at the Institute of Translation Studies (Charles University, Faculty of Arts) in the last three semesters (during the academic years 2019/2020 and 2020/2021). In this paper, we try to describe the advantages and disadvantages of distance interpreter training (DIT) both from the point of view of teachers and students, we explain how the online lectures of simultaneous and consecutive interpreting were organized and we also discuss the differences of the platforms that we used. The students were administered a questionnaire to explore the learners’ attitudes and feelings regarding remote interpreting in interpreter training with a view to identifying the possibilities and limits of this type of learning experience compared with conventional forms of instruction. The latter part of the paper will comment on the most interesting student responses.

Published: November 2022

Multi-master architecture is desirable for cloud databases in supporting large-scale transaction processing. To enable concurrent transaction execution on multiple computing nodes, we need an efficient transaction commit protocol on the storage layer that ensures ACID as well as consensus among replicas. A leader-based protocol is easy to implement. However, it faces the single-node bottleneck and suffers from high transaction latency in cross-region deployment. While a leaderless protocol can achieve a higher degree of parallelism, it is inefficient in resolving conflicts.

This paper proposes the semi-leader protocol, which is a new type of transaction commit protocol for multi-master transaction processing. In a nutshell, the semi-leader protocol is a hybrid protocol that offers separate commit paths for conflicting transactions and non-conflicting transactions. A centralized node, known as the sequencer, is employed to perform precise conflict resolution for conflicting transactions, while non-conflicting transactions can be committed timely in a decentralized manner. Based on the semi-leader protocol, we designed Starry, a multi-master transaction processing mechanism. Experimental results demonstrate that Starry is 1.4× and 4.21× as performant as the leaderless and leader-based protocols respectively in throughput. When dealing with high-contention workloads, Starry can significantly reduce the abort rates.

Published: November 2022

Differential privacy (DP) is the state-of-the-art and rigorous notion of privacy for answering aggregate database queries while preserving the privacy of sensitive information in the data. In today's era of data analysis, however, it poses new challenges for users to understand the trends and anomalies observed in the query results: Is the unexpected answer due to the data itself, or is it due to the extra noise that must be added to preserve DP? In the second case, even the observation made by the users on query results may be wrong. In the first case, can we still mine interesting explanations from the sensitive data while protecting its privacy? To address these challenges, we present a three-phase framework DPXPlain, which is the first system to the best of our knowledge for explaining group-by aggregate query answers with DP. In its three phases, DPXPlain (a) answers a group-by aggregate query with DP, (b) allows users to compare aggregate values of two groups and with high probability assesses whether this comparison holds or is flipped by the DP noise, and (c) eventually provides an explanation table containing the approximately 'top-k' explanation predicates along with their relative influences and ranks in the form of confidence intervals, while guaranteeing DP in all steps. We perform an extensive experimental analysis of DPXPlain with multiple use-cases on real and synthetic data showing that DPXPlain efficiently provides insightful explanations with good accuracy and utility.
Aproveitamento de lodo de esgoto urbano como substrato para produção de mudas de cedro australiano (Toona ciliata) e aroeira pimenteira (Schinus terebinthifolius)

Published: November 2022

O lodo de esgoto, de acordo com o processo de higienização o qual é submetido, tem potencial para uso na agricultura, para o fornecimento de matéria orgânica e nutrientes aos vegetais. O trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o aproveitamento do lodo de esgoto como componente de substrato para produção de mudas de cedro australiano e aroeira pimenteira, após um tratamento de estabilização alcalina. O lodo de esgoto, associado com vermiculita ou substrato comercial, compôs os substratos em diferentes proporções (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%). Após a colheita, foram analisados parâmetros de desenvolvimento e teores de nutrientes nas mudas. A adição de lodo de esgoto reduziu o desenvolvimento das mudas de cedro australiano, provavelmente devido ao seu elevado pH após estabilização alcalina, o que levou a redução nas concentrações de potássio e, principalmente, fósforo disponíveis no substrato. Na aroeira pimenteira, a adição de lodo de esgoto até a proporção de 50%, favoreceu o desenvolvimento das mudas, demonstrando assim uma menor exigência ao P trocável. A orçamentação parcial demonstrou que para o cultivo de mudas de cedro australiano não se recomenda a substituição do substrato comercial por qualquer combinação estudada contendo lodo de esgoto. Já no cultivo de mudas de aroeira pimenteira, recomenda-se a utilização de 25% ou 50% de lodo de esgoto, com o melhor resultado financeiro para o tratamento contendo 25% de lodo de esgoto e 75% de substrato comercial.

Published: November 2022

Após relatos de reações adversas e desregulação endócrina causada por alguns conservantes como os parabenos, amplamente utilizados em formulações tópicas e medicamentos, a indústria cosmética e farmacêutica enfrenta a falta considerável de agentes antimicrobianos com menor toxicidade, desencadeando o interesse na busca pelo desenvolvimento de novos sistemas conservantes seguros e eficazes. Substâncias naturais com amplo espectro de atividade antimicrobiana são alternativas interessantes para a pesquisa de novos conservantes. As micocinas são substâncias naturais produzidas por leveduras killer, que possuem potencial de inibir bactérias e fungos com amplo espectro de ação, baixa toxicidade e baixa probabilidade de indução de resistência microbiana. O objetivo deste trabalho foi de verificar a atividade conservante de micocinas produzidas por Wickerhamomyces anomalus quando incorporadas em gel dermatológico. Realizaram-se ensaios de determinação de β-glucanases, ensaio de microdiluição, Challenge Test para avaliar a eficácia de ação conservante, análise de estabilidade e teste de irritabilidade de membrana. O sobrenadante WA92 apresentou atividade de β-glucanases de 3,80 U/mg e inibição frente a todos os microrganismos padrão testados em microdiluição. No Challenge Test, os critérios de eficácia conservante foram cumpridos para bactérias, fungo filamentoso e leveduriforme. Os resultados compreenderam uma formulação gel estável e não irritante utilizando micocinas como conservante em diferentes concentrações, a avaliação de estabilidade por meio de viscosidade, densidade e pH e estimativa da capacidade conservante das micocinas, incluindo comparações com conservantes comumente utilizados foram apresentados neste estudo.

Authors: Xu Dezhen , Huang Lei , Chen Shaowu
Published: November 2022

An integrated ranging and differential one-way range (DOR) signal design is implemented. The design utilizes the regenerative pseudo-noise ranging scheme and one pair of dedicated DOR tones for the deep space United X Band system. To demonstrate its effectiveness, it was applied to China’s Tianwen-1 orbiter and compared with the classic and normal designs. Using the link budget and error analysis methods, the measurement accuracy and communication ability were assessed. Results show that the novel design achieves better performance compared with that of the classic and normal designs. In the applied case, the power efficiency improved by

, two-way ranging precision improved from 0.50 to 0.09 m, and the two-way Doppler precision improved by 20% compared with those of the classic one. In addition, the spacecraft thermal noise during Delta-DOR measurements was slightly reduced. Owing to the higher downlink residual carrier, the supported telemetry data rate increased by 50%. Compared with the normal one, a higher downlink residual carrier (by 0.35 dB) was achieved by the novel design and resulted in slightly better ranging and Doppler accuracies. The novel design has a good technical foundation and is expected to be adopted in China’s future lunar and deep space explorations.
Wisdom in Gorgias’Encomium of Helen
Authors: Ariza Sergio
Published: November 2022

This paper argues that theEncomium of Helenmust be seen as a speech about the value and importance of wisdom in human life and not as much as one as aboutlogos. Gorgias sustains his vision based on a certain intellectualism which reduces moral faults to intellectual errors. This intellectualist program comprises a rationalization of emotions and a commitment with a certain tradition that discriminates between a minority with knowledge and a majority with only opinion. The consequence for Helen is that she can be excused from her action at the expense of being reproached for her lack of wisdom and is thus relegated to the ignorant majority. Therefore, what is initially praise and an apology turns into severe blame. For this, I argue, the encomium can be qualified as an amusement (paignion). For theEncomium’s listeners the amusement becomes a challenge that demands they decipher the speech’s paradoxical character and appeal to their own wisdom to not be reproached like Helen. Thus theEncomiumcannot be seen as a treaty nor as mere joke but rather as an intellectualagônbetween the speech and the listener, which serves them “to arm the soul for contests of excellence”, as the epigram dedicated to Gorgias in Delfos says.
Lampito in Aristophanes’ Lysistrata and the Reasons of a Choice
Authors: Paradiso Annalisa
Published: November 2022

This paper argues that Lampito, the Spartan character who takes part in the pacifist plot of Aristophanes’Lysistrata(411 BC), has been inspired by both parents of Agis II, the king of Sparta who led the war against Athens at the time of the Peloponnesian War and fortified Deceleia in 413 BC. Agis’ mother bore the quite rare name of Lampito as well; his father, the ‘pacifist’ King Archidamos II, voted against the war at the Spartan Assembly in 432. Aristophanes knew of Archidamos’ speech from oral tradition, possibly from the report of the Athenian ambassadors at Sparta or, alternatively and more probably, from public readings of Thucydides’ account of the pre-war debate that took place in the Spartan Assembly.
On the Road Again. Hadrians Reise von Ägypten nach Athen (131) im Lichte neuer Quellenfunde
Authors: Begass Christoph
Published: November 2022

Obschon Hadrians Reisen immer die Aufmerksamkeit der Forschung auf sich gezogen haben, machen neue Quellenfunde eine neue, gründliche Untersuchung der kaiserlichen Route, aber auch von Hadrians Absichten und Ziele nötig; auch die Reaktionen der Provinzialen erscheinen so in neuem Licht. Zunächst werden Kriterien für einen persönlichen Besuch des Kaisers in den Provinzen erarbeitet, um vor diesem Hintergrund neugefundene Inschriften und Münzen in den historischen Kontext einzuordnen. Im Folgenden wird die Route, die der kaiserliche Tross 131 von Ägypten über Syrien und das westliche Kleinasien nach Nordgriechenland genommen hat, diskutiert; in diesem Zusammenhang ist die Gründung des Antinoos-Kultes ebenso von besonderer Bedeutung wie die Frage nach den Gründen von Hadrians Beliebtheit unter den Provinzialen. Obschon dieser Teil der Reise bisher als besonders schlecht dokumentiert galt, schließt sich nun die Lücke zwischen dem bekannten Besuch des Kaisers in Ägypten und seinem letzten Aufenthalt in Athen.
Imperialism and Social Engineering: Augustan Social Legislation in the Gnomon of theIdios Logos
Authors: Dolganov Anna
Published: November 2022

This article examines the aims and impact of Augustan social legislation from the perspective of documentary evidence from Roman Egypt. The extensive presence of the laws in an epitome of an Augustan rulebook for a fiscal procurator in Egypt (the so-called Gnomon of theIdios Logos, BGU V 1210, P. Oxy. XLII 3014), where their application extends to citizens of Greek cities, speaks for the Augustan marriage and manumission laws being part of a broader vision of social order in the Roman empire.
Geographic distribution, conservation status and lectotypification of Pedersenia weberbaueri (Suess.) Holub (Amaranthaceae), an endemic and highly threatened shrub from the Marañón valley of Peru
Authors: Gonzáles Paúl , Capcha-Ramos Jean , Niño-de-Guzmán Patcy , Goodwin Zoë , Särkinen Tiina , Valencia Niels , Cano Asunción
Published: November 2022

The present study analyses the geographical distribution, conservation status, and nomenclature of Peruvian endemic Pedersenia weberbaueri. The species distribution was modelled using MaxEnt based on occurrence data and bioclimatic variables. The conservation status of the species was assessed against the categories and criteria of the IUCN Red List, and nomenclatural and typification issues were resolved. The potential distribution map of P. weberbaueri shows that the species is restricted to the seasonally dry tropical forests of the Marañón valley within a narrow latitudinal, longitudinal, and elevational range. Consequently, we propose to categorise the species as Endangered (EN) and provide the necessary information for its inclusion in the IUCN Red List. Finally, we resolve nomenclatural issues and designate a lectotype. The results contribute to the biological knowledge of P. weberbaueri and support subsequent conservation management plans.
Preoperative Hospitalist Telehealth Visits for Medically Complex Children During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Goldner Hayley , Barfchin Sahar , Fingado Emily K. , Loiselle Claire , Rappaport David I.
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, telehealth has emerged as an alternative to in-person visits. Our children’s hospital’s preoperative program includes a pediatric hospitalist evaluation of medically complex patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgery. Starting in March 2020, patients were offered either in-person or telehealth preoperative visits. Few data exist regarding preoperative telehealth for medically complex children. We sought to assess this program’s practicality and compare clinical characteristics, demographic data, and visit outcome data of patients seen via telehealth versus those seen in person.

METHODS

We retrospectively collected demographic or clinical data, visit characteristics, and visit outcome data of medically complex children scheduled for orthopedic surgery seen April-October 2020. We reviewed the data to compare characteristics of patients seen in person to those seen via telehealth.

RESULTS

We reviewed 68 visits: 34 (50%) telehealth and 34 (50%) in-person. There was no statistically significant difference in telehealth use by primary language, insurance type, underlying medical condition, gross motor function classification system score, or technology dependence. There was no significant difference between the median number of hospitalist recommendations (4 telehealth vs 3 in-person, P = .553) or progression to surgery (32 vs 32, odds ratio 1.000, confidence interval 0.133–7.540) on the basis of visit type.

CONCLUSIONS

A preoperative telehealth program is practical for medically complex children. We found no significant difference in telehealth use between technology-dependent patients and those who are not. Further study of preoperative telehealth visits will hopefully be broader in scope.

Disputa por el territorio, crimen organizado y autocorrelación espacial de homicidios en Veracruz, México, 2001-2018
Authors: Alvear-Galindo María Guadalupe , Giraldo Durán Angélica , Ramírez Gutiérrez Sandy Elvia , Valadez Carlos
Published: November 2022

En México, Veracruz tiene un papel estratégico en la configuración territorial debido a su localización y a la existencia de abundantes recursos petroleros. Desde finales del siglo xx adquirió una dinámica particular debido a la propagación de actividades ilegales que expandieron la economía criminal, tales como el robo de hidrocarburos y el tráfico de personas. Además, la presencia de puertos industriales y pesqueros facilitó la entrada y salida de drogas, armas y personas hacia Europa y Estados Unidos. En la última década este estado ha registrado un aumento en la criminalidad y las disputas por el control del territorio entre los distintos grupos delincuenciales. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo mostrar que el comportamiento de la violencia criminal expresada en homicidios no se distribuye espacialmente de manera aleatoria, debido a que es una de las expresiones de las disputas por el territorio entre actores del crimen organizado que buscan la apropiación de las rutas de mercancías ilegales y la posesión de recursos naturales estratégicos. El análisis realizado a partir del índice de Moran, utilizando las tasas de homicidios de la entidad correspondientes al periodo comprendido entre los años 2001 y 2018, evidenció patrones de concentración espacial de la violencia a lo largo de la entidad. Específicamente, se identificaron tres grandes bloques de aglomeración de los homicidios (sur, centro y norte) así como algunos conjuntos de municipios fuera de los bloques. Para analizar la relación entre la concentración de los homicidios y las disputas por el territorio entre organizaciones criminales, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica y hemerográfica sobre enfrentamientos entre organizaciones criminales en el estado de Veracruz en el mismo periodo. En los tres bloques se hallaron evidencias de enfrentamientos entre organizaciones criminales, así como elevadas tasas de homicidios por la presencia de rutas de tráfico ilegal de drogas y personas, también, de puertos y tomas clandestinas de hidrocarburos. Finalmente, se presentan algunas limitaciones del análisis con el índice de Moran para explicar otras formas de violencia en el territorio.
FLAT LIKELIHOODS: THREE-PARAMETER WEIBULL MODEL CASE
Authors: Montoya José A. , Figueroa-Preciado Gudelia
Published: November 2022

Criticisms of maximum likelihood estimation frequently occur when likelihood function shape becomes flat. Although some research have been done regarding the possible causes of a flat likelihood, more work is needed to expand our knowledge on this subject. In this paper we analyze the origin of Weibull flat likelihoods. In particular, we study the severity of the likelihood flatness by examining the limit behaviour of the relative profile likelihood for the three-parameter Weibull threshold parameter, when this parameter goes to infinity. In the cases discussed here, flat likelihoods are not only related to sample size but also to an embedded model problem. Due to the widespread use of the likelihood function in inferential statistical methods, it is important not only to identify factors that can cause flat likelihoods, but also to study the severity of this flattening, in order to develop or apply ad hoc statistical and computational methods for making inferences.
Potential conflict as an opportunity for coexistence: cosmovision and attitudes of Arhuaco people towards jaguars

Published: November 2022

Human responses to alterations caused by wildlife in human livelihoods depend on psychological and cultural factors, in addition to tangible factors. The ideas of transforming the discourse of conflict into a vision of coexistence, as well as of promoting a dialogue between science and ancestral knowledge, have been increasingly valued in biodiversity conservation. In ten communities of the Arhuaco people (Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia), we qualitatively explored the role of the jaguar (Panthera onca) and its main prey (deer, peccary and paca) in the Arhuaco cosmovision, as well as how these people interpret and manage the alterations caused by these species on their livelihood from a cultural perspective. We evaluated quantitatively their cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitudes towards coexistence with these species. Our findings show that attitudes towards coexistence with the jaguar and its main prey were significantly more positive among those who have been affected by wildlife (i.e., livestock depredation and crop consumption) or who, according to their occupation (ranchers-farmers), have a higher risk of being affected. These attitudes could be better understood in light of the principles of the Arhuaco cosmovision, that have a profoundly ecological ethic, in which the jaguar plays a primordial role in the spiritual, cosmogonic, and natural order. Guaranteeing the protection of Arhuaco culture and territory could be very valuable for the conservation of the jaguar and biodiversity in the ecoregion of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
SHAPLEY EFFECT ESTIMATION IN RELIABILITY-ORIENTED SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS WITH CORRELATED INPUTS BY IMPORTANCE SAMPLING
Authors: Demange-Chryst Julien , Bachoc François , Morio Jérôme
Published: November 2022

Reliability-oriented sensitivity analysis aims at combining both reliability and sensitivity analyses by quantifying the influence of each input variable of a numerical model on a quantity of interest related to its failure. In particular, target sensitivity analysis focuses on the occurrence of the failure, and more precisely aims to determine which inputs are more likely to lead to the failure of the system. The Shapley effects are quantitative global sensitivity indices which are able to deal with correlated input variables. They have been recently adapted to the target sensitivity analysis framework. In this article, we investigate two importance-sampling-based estimation schemes of these indices which are more efficient than the existing ones when the failure probability is small. Moreover, an extension to the case where only an i.i.d. input/output N-sample distributed according to the importance sampling auxiliary distribution is proposed. This extension allows us to estimate the Shapley effects only with a data set distributed according to the importance sampling auxiliary distribution stemming from a reliability analysis without additional calls to the numerical model. In addition, we study theoretically the absence of bias of some estimators as well as the benefit of importance sampling. We also provide numerical guidelines and finally, realistic test cases show the practical interest of the proposed methods.
MULTIPHYSICS SIMULATION OF SUPERCRITICAL CO2 GASIFICATION FOR HYDROGEN PRODUCTION
Authors: Prlina Alexander G. , Breault Ronald W. , Eddings Eric G.
Published: November 2022

Among the gasification technologies being considered, supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) gasification offers certain advantages for direct fired systems and is the subject of this work. A reacting computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed using Ansys Fluent in order to investigate the impact of various operating parameters on syngas composition. The model was validated using available data in the literature. Simulations were conducted over a wide range of operating parameters with the goal of optimizing hydrogen production for the considered reactor. The results from the simulations identified a positive correlation between slurry loading and hydrogen production, with slurry loadings of 80% resulting in an average outlet hydrogen mole percent of 25.4%. Reactor temperature and pressure were found to have a limited impact on H2 production at the conditions of interest. Additionally, the simulations indicated that oxygen mass flowrate has less of an impact on hydrogen production at higher slurry loadings. Hydrogen content at conditions relevant to sCO2 gasification is comparable to other slurry-fed gasifiers, while CO/CO2 ratios far exceed those of widely employed dry or slurry-fed gasifiers, highlighting the need for experimental investigation.

La deserción universitaria como realidad que se ha incrementado por múltiples causas involucra una mirada integradora desde lo académico, así como las distintas maneras de posibilitar al que esté tentado a dejar de lado sus estudios para adquirir las herramientas necesarias para no sucumbir. Desde la logoterapia, se propone la formación en la búsqueda de sentido o sentido de vida como elemento fundamental en la educación de quien se prepara en la universidad. Constituir razones de sentido desde lo personal, acompañado del ejemplo de quien educa, ayuda enormemente a nutrir la decisión de tener una profesión y evita el costo social que trae abandonar la vida universitaria.
The Social Justice and Radical Diversity Approach: Combining Structural Analysis and Transformative Practice
Authors: Kaszner Corinne
Published: November 2022

Drawing on the Social Justice and Radical Diversity approach, an existing discrimination-critical approach applied in the field of anti-discrimination theory and education, this paper proposes to combine a structural perspective on discrimination with a phenomenologically inspired understanding of radical diversity. Although often perceived as mutually exclusive philosophical avenues for theorizing discrimination, these approaches are explicated here as distinct, but methodologically compatible. Whereas a structural approach to discrimination is introduced as a relational theory of oppression in its historical and intersectional dimensions, the concept of radical diversity is emphasized in its capacity to transform existing categories of social difference and power structures on a practical level. It is argued that combining both perspectives according to the Social Justice and Radical Diversity approach, attests to the specific logic of how discrimination and diversity intertwine in societal reality.
On the feature (in)deficiency of dedicated impersonal pronouns: the view from Jordanian Arabic
Authors: Alhailawani Mohammad Ali , Othman Waleed Ahmad , Abdel-Ghafer Osama Abdel-Rahman
Published: November 2022

Research on dedicated impersonal pronouns in Germanic and Romance has shown a correlation between a pronoun’s reading and its case. In particular, impersonal pronouns that are exclusively generic (e.g. English one) can bear any case, whereas those that can be either generic or existential (e.g. Dutch men) can only bear nominative case. Moreover, there is a general consensus in the literature that both types of impersonal pronouns radically lack phi-feature specification, viz. the pronouns are underspecified for person, number, and gender features in the syntax. The purpose of this paper is twofold: first to discuss the impersonal use of the pronoun waaħad (one) in Jordanian Arabic (JA) and its implications for the crosslinguistic typology of impersonal pronouns, and second to argue that a radical feature deficiency approach to these pronouns is inaccurate. Regarding the first point, we show that waaħad behaves similarly to English-type pronouns in terms of its interpretation and syntactic distribution. JA waaħad can only have a generic inclusive reading and can appear in multiple syntactic positions. As for the second point, we show that waaħad is not completely phi-defective. The JA pronoun patterns with crosslinguistically recognized impersonal pronouns by being underspecified for person. However, independent empirical evidence from agreement shows that waaħad is always specified for singular number and also for gender in some contexts. This novel data from JA suggest a rethinking of the radical feature deficiency approach to impersonal pronouns. Additionally, we provide evidence for the presence of a DP projection above impersonal waaħad that is overtly instantiated via the definite article il- (the). Our findings show that impersonal pronouns are not radically devoid of phi-features. Whereas impersonal pronouns share the core property of being underspecified for person, some pronouns are specified for number and also for gender in the syntax.
LA GUERRA DE UCRANIA: LOS EFECTOS JURÍDICOS DERIVADOS DE LA PÉRDIDA DE LA CONDICIÓN DE ESTADO MIEMBRO DEL CONSEJO DE EUROPA POR LA FEDERACIÓN RUSA
Authors: Salinas de Frías Ana
Published: November 2022

La agresión de la Federación Rusa contra Ucrania constituye el último eslabón de una cadena de graves incumplimientos por parte de Rusia de sus obligaciones para con el Consejo de Europa, y ha culminado con la aplicación del expediente técnico más grave y contundente previsto en su Estatuto, la expulsión, pese a que la indefinición de las disposiciones aplicables, la falta de práctica previa y la actitud de Rusia hayan oscurecido la comprensión del proceso que ha conducido a ella. La situación de Rusia respecto de los tratados internacionales del Consejo de Europa con los que se había comprometido varía, aunque en general la posición de la organización tiende claramente a excluirla de ellos. Sin duda la consecuencia más relevante es la denuncia de Rusia del CEDH y la impunidad en la que quedarán los hechos que no puedan incluirse en el periodo adicional de seis meses previsto en el CEDH, además de las dificultades en el desarrollo de dichos contenciosos y la ejecución, en su caso, de las sentencias condenatorias que dicte el TEDH. Nuevos retos plantean también tanto el cumplimiento de sus obligaciones financieras por parte de Rusia, como la situación de los funcionarios de nacionalidad rusa.
IDENTIDAD PERSONAL TRANSFRONTERIZA Y DERECHO INTERNACIONAL PRIVADO EUROPEO

Published: November 2022

El reconocimiento mutuo ha cobrado un renovado protagonismo tras la comunitaración del ámbito de la Cooperación Judicial Civil, al constituir el eje o vector que permite la construcción de la nueva política pública global sobre administración de justicia proyectada por la Comisión. Sin perjuicio de las diferencias y similitudes que puedan apreciarse entre esta noción y la empleada para la liberalización del mercado interior, el reconocimiento de pleno derecho de las circunstancias personales y familiares de los ciudadanos constituye un objetivo de la UE, en especial tras la adopción del Programa de Estocolmo en orden a la realización del Espacio de Libertad, Seguridad y Justicia. Dicho reconocimiento garantiza la libre circulación de personas, al dotar de estabilidad al estado civil y preservar la identidad personal. Si bien no existe hasta el momento apoyo político para conseguir este resultado a través de intervenciones legislativas, dicho reconocimiento tiene lugar en el momento actual en el interior del espacio europeo.
COMPETENCIA JUDICIAL INTERNACIONAL EN CONTROVERSIAS RELACIONADAS CON TOKENS NO FUNGIBLES (NFT)
Authors: López Rodríguez Ana Mercedes
Published: November 2022

Los NFT están superando a la cadena de bloques y a las criptomonedas en popularidad. Se trata de certificados de propiedad almacenados en una cadena de bloques y respaldados por la tecnología blockchain (p. ej., Ethereum) que suelen estar asociados a un activo digital, como las artes visuales, los vídeos, la música o los objetos de colección. Los NFT parecen estar llamados a jugar un papel clave en el denominado metaverso, un entorno digital que opera en la cadena de bloques, donde tecnologías como la realidad virtual y la realidad aumentada actúan como proveedores de componentes visuales, y que ofrece oportunidades de negocio e interacción social ilimitadas. El arte es solo una parte del mundo virtual basado en blockchain donde los avatares, la tierra, los edificios, los nombres, etc., se pueden vender y comprar como NFT. Este fenómeno crea obviamente una serie de implicaciones legales novedosas. La creación, la distribución, la propiedad y el comercio de los NFT son fenómenos nuevos que plantean multitud de cuestiones jurídicas, muchas de las cuales son ambiguas o no están resueltas. En este contexto, el presente trabajo analiza la competencia judicial internacional en controversias relativas a tokens no fungibles, con especial atención al Derecho europeo, haciendo asimismo referencia a la jurisprudencia reciente de terceros Estados en materia de criptoactivos.
SUPRESIÓN DEL EXEQUÁTUR Y EJECUCIÓN DE RESOLUCIONES EN MATERIA DE RESPONSABILIDAD PARENTAL: LA CONVIVENCIA DE DOS SOLUCIONES EN EL REGLAMENTO (UE) 2019/1111
Authors: Rodríguez Vázquez Mª Ángeles
Published: November 2022

La principal novedad del Reglamento (UE) 2019/1111 es la supresión del exequátur para la ejecución transfronteriza de todas las resoluciones en materia de responsabilidad parental, conservando al mismo tiempo un trato más favorable para las que conceden derechos de visita y determinadas resoluciones que implican la restitución del menor. No obstante, se introducen una serie de correcciones para flexibilizar la rigidez de la anterior regulación y atender de forma más concreta al interés superior del menor. Además, se armonizan algunas reglas sobre la ejecución. Con estas soluciones el legislador europeo trata de dar respuesta a las deficiencias detectadas en la aplicación del Reglamento 2201/2003.
LA NULIDAD DE LOS TRATADOS IMPUESTOS MEDIANTE COACCIÓN ILÍCITA, EN PERSPECTIVA HISTÓRICA
Authors: Yáñez-Barnuevo Juan Antonio
Published: November 2022

Mediante una evolución que se desarrolló en varias fases a lo largo del siglo xx, la comunidad internacional ha procedido a una inversión casi completa de las doctrinas dominantes en el periodo anterior a la Primera Guerra Mundial en cuanto a la validez de los tratados impuestos por la fuerza. Tras el Tratado Briand-Kellogg de 1928 y sobre todo la prohibición de la amenaza o el uso de la fuerza contenida en la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, ha ido cristalizando la nueva norma que prevé la nulidad de los tratados obtenidos mediante coacción por la fuerza ilícita. Considerada primeramente como regla consuetudinaria en cuanto corolario de uno de los principios fundamentales de la Carta, la nueva norma ha quedado consagrada en las Convenciones codificadoras del Derecho de los Tratados adoptadas en Viena en 1969 y 1986 y ha sido igualmente invocada por la jurisprudencia internacional. Se trata así de una de las manifestaciones más destacadas de un emergente orden público internacional.
Conflict of interest and funding in health communication on social media: a systematic review v1
Authors: Helou Vanessa
Published: November 2022

Objective: To synthesize the available evidence on the disclosure of conflicts of interests by individuals posting health messages on social media, and on the reporting of funding sources of studies cited in health messages on social media Study design: systematic review Data Sources: We developed a search strategy, using the help of a librarian, for MEDLINE, EMBASE and Google Scholar electronic databases from 2005 to present. The search combined various keywords and medical subject headings (MeSH) terms relevant to concepts of conflict of interest, funding, and social media. We did not restrict the search to specific languages. Teams of two reviewers will conduct the screening in duplicate and independently. We will also screen the reference lists of included studies as well as other relevant papers. Data abstraction: The reviewers will abstract data from eligible studies in duplicate and independently. We will use a standardized and pilot-tested data abstraction form. We will abstract information on the general characteristics of included studies, characteristics of the social media examined, conflict of interest, and funding. Quality assessment: A team of two reviewers will assess independently the risk of bias of included studies using the relevant part of the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.

Las migraciones globales, internacionales: un fenómeno histórico en la configuración de nuestras sociedades multiculturales
Authors: Sole Carlota
Published: November 2022

Este artículo teórico presenta algunas reflexiones acerca del amplio tema de las migraciones, centrándose en la situación de los migrantes en Europa y España. Este texto fue compartido como discurso de incorporación en el acto solemne de ingreso en la Real Academia de Ciencias Morales y Políticas (abril de 2022, Madrid). No se aborda aquí la cuestión concreta de la migración y su intersección con la categoría de etnia, y con ello, lo relacionado a las migraciones del pueblo gitano. Asimismo, lo que aquí se plantea explica también las características grosso modo de los factores que han motivado los movimientos migratorios de este pueblo. La importancia de las migraciones globales, internacionales como tema de estudio reside en ser un fenómeno histórico, recurrente en diversas latitudes mundiales, y en constituir progresivamente parte del núcleo central de nuestras sociedades multiculturales, en el contexto de la mundialización y la globalización. Con todo, se trata de aceptar que en el futuro las sociedades serán híbridas, multiculturales y tendentes a la igualdad, una vez conseguida la integración sociocultural de los inmigrantes en su seno.

Published: November 2022

The article discusses the trends in the global economy and the development of the transport industry, which created the prerequisites for the formation of a transport and logistics cluster in the territory of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the study is to identify the prerequisites for the formation of transport clustering in Russia. To achieve this goal, an analysis was made of existing strategic documents for the economic development of the country and the transport industry in particular, the impact of world economic events, such as: the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the transport and logistics industries, the growth of the «Eastern vector» in the Russian economy. The results obtained assess the current situation in the Russian economy and in the transport industry in particular, and form the basis for the development of transport clustering in the country in regions that have the conditions for this.

The paper is dedicated to the problems of the current system for atmospheric air quality monitoring which is operated by the national hydrometeorological service of Ukraine in Kyiv. The problems are discussed in the context of implementing the Directives of the European Parliament and the Council on ambient air quality. The improvement of the current monitoring system needs immediate solutions due to the nonconformity to modern requirements not only in Kyiv, but also on the entire Ukrainian territory. The study makes an attempt to define the main steps of network improvement and the optimization of air pollution measurement network using air pollution data from the archives of the Central Geophysical Observatory, pollutants’ emission, land-use/land cover and meteorological data for 2000-2019. We discuss main EU requirements for monitoring sites’ location, atmospheric air pollution and emission data. The analysis showed the necessity for preliminary urban field measurements before the establishment of monitoring sites. Depending on the wind regime, the new measurement network must take into account the prevailing synoptic processes for future understanding how air pollution is transported towards and outwards the urban area. Land-use/ land cover data derived from the Landsat allowed distinguishing residential areas, industrial zones, main roads, water bodies and green areas which is crucial for the selection of suitable places for monitoring sites. Using mentioned principles and requirements, we propose 15 monitoring sites for the improved air quality network in Kyiv. This number of sites are greater than EU Directives claimed because conclusions were made on theoretical estimations without field measurements. The presented list of the monitoring sites needs additional analysis of spatio-temporal pollutants’ distribution in combination with atmospheric modelling. However, the analysis considers actual residential areas and emission sources in the background of the modern wind regime in Kyiv.

Published: November 2022

Athletic Directors of private high schools in the New York metropolitan area find themselves competing against one another not just on the field, but also in the recruitment of student athletes. With the shift in priorities for young individuals, athletic directors now must recognize the key components of attraction, while also understanding that change within their department is a necessity. The purpose of this phenomenological study sought to explore the lived experiences of private high school athletic directors within the New York metropolitan area. The aim of this study was to understand effective initiatives athletic directors have employed to develop premier athletic departments with an authentic brand that has led to successful recruitment of potential student athletes. The primary research question that will guide this study is, "What is the essence of the lived experiences of private high school athletic directors in the New York metropolitan area in branding their athletic departments? To further guide the research, the researcher will pose the following: (a) What are the participants' experiences in marketing their facilities to the general public? (b) What are the participants' experiences in using social media within their world of athletics? (c) What are the participants' experiences in hiring decisions that reflect the inclusion of men and women from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds aligning with the diversity of student athletes? The researcher employed a social constructivist perspective, as well as a conceptual framework based on three streams of research, practice, and theory, which include athletic facilities, social media implementation and integration, and diversity of a coaching staff.
