Formation of new, «green» tools for regulation of hydrocarbon emissions from vertical steel tanks based on an analysis of the experience of the United States and Russia
Authors:   Tyumen Industrial University, Tyumen, Russia, Levitin R. E.
Published: November 2024

The legislation of the Russian Federation regulating hydrocarbon emissions is a complex hierarchical structure formed by legal acts located at its different levels. Emissions to the atmosphere from tanks are directly determined according to guidelines developed and approved by the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Environmental Protection with the participation of the Atmosphere Research Institute in 1999. In the USA, emissions to the atmosphere from tanks are determined according to standards developed by the American Petroleum Institute API MPMS 19-1 and API MPMS 19-2. All of these methods have a number of advantages and disadvantages. The paper analyzes Russian and American methods on the example of a vertical steel tank (VST), and also proposes new tools for monitoring safe and environmentally friendly operation. Methods for determining emissions used in the United States, unlike Russian ones, are also officially regulated tools for determining the loss of hydrocarbons from evaporation. Such a system makes it possible to avoid discrepancies in the volumes of emissions obtained by different committees and services, taking into account the same physical processes. Therefore, in Russia it is necessary to obtain a unified calculation scheme and methodology for determining emissions from reservoirs. Keywords: oil losses, reservoir storage, hydrocarbon emissions, oil evaporation, rates of natural loss, storage in VST.

‘Real style is never right or wrong, it is a matter of being yourself on purpose’ – G.Bruce Boyer. This statement by Bruce Boyer is not only apt to the younger generation, or the so-called fashion freaks or style lovers, but applicable to everyone who wish to dress themselves the best. The dilemma is, how many are able to wear (clothes) according to their needs? We have exclusive wear for new-borns, and occasions, but have we ever thought of having exclusive designs for specially abled and aged people as their needs are totally different.  This paper is aimed at understanding the issues and challenges of clothing of geriatric citizens and their awareness towards the concept of adaptive clothing. The study was carried out using convenient sampling where paid old age homes in Hyderabad were considered for the study. The researchers made an attempt to contact the managers/care takers of these paid old age homes. Initially dialogues were exchanged to sensitize the managers/care takers towards adaptive clothing followed by focused group discussions with the geriatric citizens. These discussions revealed that majority of the geriatric people are not aware of adaptive clothing and they would love to try adaptive clothing and this would enhance their life style and build confidence in them. The researchers tried to identify the factors which promote the adoption of adaptive clothing among old age people. The study revealed that the major factor is lack of awareness. Other factors which contribute for the adoption of adaptive clothing are cost, ease of availability, customization, size availability and fabric type.  Though this is a niche study, this study will have major implications on the society and their perceptions towards clothing needs for geriatric people. The textile industry can draw inferences from this study and try to create a new product and penetrate into new market.

An empirical approach to the rule of law. Some suggestions for a new research agenda

The rule of law is under pressure. This development not only has far-reaching political and social consequences, but it also raises questions about the way in which scholars study the rule of law. Numerous books have been written about the rule of law, but despite all these studies (mostly in law and legal theory), we have not yet been able to explain the growing trend of rule of law erosion. This contribution therefore outlines some suggestions for a new – empirical – research agenda that aims to better understand the current developments and offers concrete starting points for policies aimed at strengthening the rule of law.

The Europeanisation of the Rule of Law in the Netherlands

This article discusses the impact of European integration on the Dutch rule-of-law system. It begins by outlining the historical development of the rule of law in the Netherlands. Next, it describes how the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), partly through the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), has come to function as a safeguard for the rule of law in the Netherlands, and how European Union (EU) law, partly through the case law of the Court of Justice, has later assumed a similar role. The article then points out that the Netherlands increasingly receives advice on matters relating to the rule of law from ‘Europe’, including from the Venice Commission and the European Commission. Based on the foregoing, the article reflects on the fact that the rule of law in the Netherlands is no longer shaped exclusively at the national level, but through interaction between national and European authorities.

Authors: Kıdık Ayşegül , Asiliskender Burak
Published: November 2024

This systematic literature review explores the integration and impact of Mixed Reality (MR) technologies in Architectural Design Studio Education (ADSE). Covering the period from 2019 to 2024, this review consolidates the current role of MR in design education by analysing existing studies. The study aims to evaluate both the positive and negative contributions of MR in ADSE and discuss its future potential in this field. The articles were selected and reviewed according to PRISMA (2020) guidelines (Page M.J.et al.,2021), and findings were analysed from databases including ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Scopus. The review identified articles focusing on the application of MR in ADSE. The research findings indicate that MR technologies significantly enhance experiential learning by providing interactive and immersive environments that allow real-time visualization and manipulation of architectural designs. However, integrating MR into ADSE faces challenges such as high implementation costs and the need for specialized training for instructors. Nevertheless, if these challenges are addressed, MR can offer an alternative reality to ADSE with transformative potential. This paper provides a comprehensive guide for educators, curriculum developers, and students interested in leveraging MR technologies to foster innovative learning environments in ADSE.

Published: November 2024

In this study, the effects of colour types (neutral, warm, cool) selected based on single-colour harmony used on the walls of bedrooms, where individuals spend a significant part of their lives, on participants’ perceptual evaluations were examined. Within the scope of the study, virtual bedroom spaces designed according to different colour types were used to investigate how perceptual evaluations of research participants could be influenced. The study formulated hypotheses based on the relationships between bedroom colour type and participant variables such as occupation, gender, and age. To test these hypotheses, participants evaluated virtual bedroom spaces online using Google Forms. Statistical analyses, including confidence tests conducted with SPSS, involved calculating percentage values, means, and standard deviations. Differences among variables were examined comparatively. The findings indicated that spaces utilizing neutral colours were generally perceived more positively compared to those employing warm and cool colours. Moreover, certain groups, namely engineers and other professionals, men, and participants aged 25-35, tended to provide more favourable perceptual evaluations than architects, interior designers, women, and participants aged 36-50. In conclusion, this study contributes to understanding how colour types in bedroom environments can influence perceptual evaluations, shedding light on preferences across various demographic groups.

A crescente preocupação com a poluição por microplásticos destaca a urgência em investigar seus efeitos na saúde humana, especialmente o acumulo na placenta e seus esfeitos. Estudos demonstram que as micro e nano partículas plásticas podem translocar-se pelo corpo, alcançando tecidos como a placenta, onde podem se acumular e impactar o desenvolvimento fetal. A exposição materna, como os de poliestireno, tem sido associada a anomalias cerebrais e restrição do crescimento fetal em modelos animais. Embora existam evidências sobre os efeitos agudos da exposição, há uma carência de estudos que explorem os impactos transgeracionais e em níveis de exposição ambientalmente relevantes. A necessidade de desenvolver métodos robustos para caracterizar essa exposição em humanos é imperativa, assim como a realização de investigações a longo prazo para entender quais as reais implicações na saúde das futuras gerações.

Published: November 2024

Este artigo explora a relevância da Lei da Liberdade Econômica (Lei nº 13.874/2019) e da Resolução CVM nº 175, de 2022, para o mercado de capitais no Brasil, com foco no regime de responsabilidade limitada dos cotistas e na função reguladora da Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM). A análise busca entender como essas medidas, ao desburocratizar processos e alinhar normas nacionais às práticas internacionais, promovem segurança jurídica e atraem investimentos, essencial para o desenvolvimento econômico. A Lei da Liberdade Econômica introduziu mudanças que simplificam o ambiente de negócios, facilitando a adaptação às normas globais e fortalecendo a competitividade. Já a Resolução CVM nº 175 consolida normas aplicáveis aos fundos de investimento, permitindo que os cotistas tenham responsabilidade limitada, aumentando a segurança patrimonial e promovendo a confiança dos investidores. Ao adotar práticas semelhantes às das Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) dos Estados Unidos, o Brasil reforça sua posição como destino atrativo para capital estrangeiro, criando um mercado mais dinâmico e seguro. Este estudo destaca os benefícios dessas regulamentações na democratização do acesso ao mercado de capitais, essencial para a robustez e crescimento sustentável da economia brasileira.
Crucial role of fungi in environmentally sustainable agriculture
Authors: Mastro Nelida Lucia del
Published: November 2024

To produce more, better and safer food we must be able to do so while promoting the sustainable use of agricultural resources. The increase in agricultural production is currently through the use of pesticides, fertilizers, and developments in plant breeding and genetic skills. In naturally existing ecosystems, rhizospheric soils have biological living beings to favor the plant development, nutrient assimilation, stress tolerance, disease deterrence, carbon seizing and others. Fungi are among the most widely distributed organisms on Earth and are of great environmental importance. Mycorrhizal fungi, bacteria, actinomycetes, etc. solubilize nutrients and assist the plants in uptake by roots. Amongst them, vesicular/arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have key roles in the natural ecosystem, as the majority of the terrestrial plants form association with AMF. This symbiosis confers benefits directly to the host plant’s growth and development through the acquisition of phosphorus (P) and other mineral nutrients from the soil. They may also enhance the protection of plants against pathogens, increase plant diversity  and have the potential to enhance plant growth under stressful environments. In this article, the sustainability and environmental aspects of agriculture, and the basic concepts of fungi will be reviewed to justify our point of view about the tremendous importance of fungi towards an environmentally sustainable agriculture.

Water quality is a worldwide problem, especially in places where the growth of urban areas alters surface waters that can be analyzed in conjunction with legislation, bioindicators and emerging pollutants. However, the use of these three variables to determine water quality is still scarce. For this reason, the use of these three variables was the objective of this research, which sought answers as to their associative use for the analysis of surface waters such as the Paragominas Igarapé, in the municipality of the same name, Pará, Brazil. Investigative research with qualitative and quantitative scope was used with 72 selected publications, in seven types of publication, whose time frame was between 2005 and 2024.The data obtained and analyzed indicated that Conama Resolution 357 still needs changes and greater flexibility where bioindicators composed of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (n= 8; 80%), and pollutants or contaminants such as microplastics (9.0 ± 6.6). This association was confirmed by principal component analysis (PCA): PC1 = 87%. PC2 = 12.8%. Thus, the use of the association between Conama Resolution 357/2005, with the EPT group and microplastics, may indicate greater veracity in the quality of urban surface waters, such as the Paragominas stream.

Undergraduate and postgraduate Chemistry Education students had to develop the experiment in four (4) stages. Twenty-two (22) cannabinoids (Δ9-THC and derivatives) with different degrees of psychoactivity, previously scrutinized by our research group with the approaches: molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and interaction with the CB1 receptor (CARDOSO-FILHO et al., 2004), are investigated through Chemometrics. Exploratory Analysis: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA). E Classification Methods: K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) method, Soft Independent Modeling Class Analogy (SIMCA) method, and Stepwise Discriminant Analysis (SDA) were employed to reduce the dimensionality of the data matrix and investigate which descriptors are responsible for the classification between the most active cannabinoids (mac), pKi ≥ 6.72, and the least active cannabinoids (lac), pKi < 6.72, according to the hypothesis previously reported (Cardoso-Filho et al., 2024). The investigation with PCA, HCA, KNN, SIMCA, and SDA showed that the descriptors LUMO+1 energy, Geary autocorrelation of lag 6 weighted by van der Waals volumes (GATS6V), hydration energy (EH), atomic charge on the atom of C4 (qC4), and molecular representation of structure based on the electron diffraction, code of signal 3, unweighted (MOR03u) are responsible for separating cannabinoids according to their degrees of psychoactivity. The insights accumulated and the models built in the research – PCA chemometric model, HCA chemometric model, KNN chemometric model, SIMCA chemometric model, and SDA chemometric model – will be able to support the design of new potentially psychoactive Δ9-THC derivatives.
TERRITÓRIO DE PARTICIPAÇÃO E FRONTEIRAS: O CONSELHO ESTADUAL DE SAÚDE DE MATO GROSSO

Published: November 2024

O Conselho Estadual de Saúde de Mato Grosso é um espaço de institucionalização da participação democrática. Essa análise é parte relevante de uma pesquisa em andamento de pós-doutorado.  O procedimento metodológico foi a pesquisa bibliográfica O objetivo é compreender o papel do Conselho de Saúde de Mato Grosso como espaço territorial de história e de fronteiras, formado pela participação política de seus atores. Quando nos referimos a território, a dimensão política é um substrato incontornável da sua definição. Isso tem dois significados: a tentativa de definir como ocorre a constituição do território não pode obliterar as relações de força entre os atores que ocupam seu espaço de autoformação e o fato de que o território é uma forma relacional, contingente e dinâmica, função do movimento criativo de seus protagonistas, os atores sociais e políticos. São essas correlações de força entre esses atores que fazem emergir a dimensão plástica do território, pela mediação das alianças entre os atores, que são constituídas e reconstituídas. Mais do que uma natureza substantiva fixa, o território denota que sua matéria e forma é polimorfa. O que vem a ser o território depende do modo como suas tensões – internas e externas – são administradas, ou seja, como seus conflitos são geridos nas conexões entre os atores, dado seu protagonismo instituinte do espaço.

Artykuł omawia politykę bezpieczeństwa Szwecji, której terytorium lądowe oraz przestrzeń powietrzno-morska jest niezwykle istotna dla działań polityczno-militarnych prowadzonych przez NATO w regionie Morza Bałtyckiego. Szwecja przeszła długą drogę od polityki wojennej neutralności, aż do zmiany paradygmatu bezpieczeństwa po agresji Rosji na Ukrainę w lutym 2022 roku. Wojna na pełną skalę wywołała szeroką dyskusję społeczną, której efektem było wypracowanie wewnątrzpolitycznego konsensu na rzecz akcesji do NATO. Przystąpienie do Sojuszu Północnoatlantyckiego jest największym przeobrażeniem w polityce zagranicznej Szwecji od czasu członkostwa w Unii Europejskiej w 1995 roku i stanowi historyczną zmianę bałtyckiej architektury bezpieczeństwa.

AN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS NUTRIENTS EMISSIONS FROM FERTILISERS ON EUTROPHICATION IN THE BALTIC SEA COASTAL ZONE
Authors: Bogalecka Magdalena , Pigłowski Marcin
Published: November 2024

Eutrophication stands out as a primary concern for the Baltic Sea, predominantly attributed to the influx of nutrients, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus, originating from fertilisers. An endeavour was undertaken to evaluate the impact of fertiliser emissions on eutrophication in the Baltic coastal zone, gauged through pollutant concentrations during the period spanning 2010 to 2020. Two-way joining cluster analysis is used to indicate similarities in terms of the highest fertiliser load, by year and country and the semi-Markov model of eutrophication process is applied to both identifying and predicting the degree of eutrophication within the estuaries of seven major Baltic Sea rivers. During the investigated period, Poland and Denmark emerged as the countries with the highest fertiliser use per unit area. Based on the research, it was also determined that the area of the Gulf of Finland, at the mouth of Neva, is the most threatened by eutrophication. This is due to the simultaneous and prolonged occurrence throughout the year of high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds in marine water in this region. The relationship between fertiliser use and concentration of nitrates and phosphates in estuaries is also shown.

Perception of teachers’ violence against students from the perspective of adult students
Authors: Kosowska Magdalena
Published: November 2024

Introduction: In this paper I discuss a qualitative study which main aim was to find out which behaviours on the part of teachers are identified by adult students as violence. Method: Eight women aged 19–21 participated in individual semi-structured interviews. I subjected the collected material to thematic analysis. Results: I identified four main themes: specific teacher behaviours perceived by pupils as violence; pupils’ interpretations of the causes of teacher violence; the consequences of teacher violence towards pupils; pupils’ making or not making interventions in relation to the violence experienced. The results show that students occasionally encountered physical violence at school, finding it difficult to identify some of the behaviours as sexual or psychological violence. The most common and hurtful behaviours classified as psychological violence included humiliation, shouting, humiliation, threatening, commenting on appearance, manipulation and breaking rules. Pupils struggle with both the somatic and emotional short- and long-term effects of experiencing violence. They attribute teachers’ violent behaviour both externally and internally. They have little faith in the effectiveness of interventions at school. Conclusions: There is a need for student participation in further research. Particular attention should be paid to psychological violence, which is underestimated and/or not obvious to both students and adults. Preventive and intervention interventions are needed both in the area of working with teachers, parents and students.
Peer violence and bullying – experiences and coping methods of teachers of grades IV–VIII
Authors: Nyikó Ewa Krystyna
Published: November 2024

Introduction: The study aimed to describe the role, experiences and strategies used by educators of classes IV–VIII in the face of peer violence and bullying. The study focused on actual actions and experiences supported by the educator’s own practice. Method: Seven participants were interviewed in semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was carried out using a reflexive thematic analysis methodology. Results: Five main themes were identified: the role of the educator; peer violence and bullying; intervention activities; prevention activities; and good advice. Interventions most often include conversations with students, disciplinary interventions and cooperation with the educator, parents and other teachers. Preventive actions mainly follow the guidelines in the school curriculum and a number of socalled own activities. In addition, the analysis made it possible to distinguish two groups of educators, the so-called ‘subject’ and ‘relational’ educators, who differ significantly in their approach to students, the strategies used and the perception of their own role. Conclusions: The data collected shows that female educators, when confronted with peer violence, use a wide variety of both intervention and prevention measures. The study points to the need to verify the effectiveness of the measures and solutions presented, while taking into account the impact on relationships and classroom climate, in the short and long term. In order to increase the reliability of the study, as well as the effectiveness of the implemented measures, it is worth placing more emphasis on the distinction between the roles played by teachers at school: educator vs. subject teacher. A limitation of the study is the small research group, which did not allow for the diversity of educators’ experiences and the contexts in which violence and bullying occur.

La pérdida auditiva inducida por ruido (NIHL) es una de las patologías ocupacionales más comunes y con mayor impacto a nivel mundial. El personal que labora en la industria de la aviación es un grupo vulnerables para el desarrollo de trastornos auditivos, ya que pasan muchas horas expuestos a niveles elevados de ruido en su entorno laboral. Finalidad: el objetivo de este estudio era determinar el daño auditivo por exposición al ruido, en pilotos y personal técnico de mantenimiento aéreo. Método: se eligió un estudio transversal para evaluar un total de 155 participantes, que se someten de manera periódica a controles médicos en un Centro de Especialidad (Guayaquil, Ecuador). La función auditiva fue valorada a través de Audiometría de Tonos Puros. Resultados: la prevalencia de NIHL entre los participantes fue de 10,32% (n = 16), evidenciando únicamente Hipoacusia Grado I. NIHL fue común entre los participantes mayores de 40 años (8.39%, n = 13), asociado a factores como la edad y la experiencia laboral. Conclusión: alrededor de una décima parte de la muestra de estudio que estuvo expuesta a niveles elevados de ruido sufren NIHL.

Ghoongroo pig is the first recognized pig breed in India from the North Bengal and adjoining districts of Assam. This breed has been evolved through continuous breeding and selection within its native breeding tract. The present investigation aimed to evaluate the genetic performance of Ghoongroo pigs across generations, utilizing data collected over a 13-year period (2008-2021) from the Nucleus Pig Breeding Farm at the ICAR-National Research Centre on Pig in Guwahati, Assam. The analysis of productive, reproductive and carcass traits revealed continuous improvements in litter size, litter weight, weaning weight and other traits over successive generations due to selective breeding. The study highlighted the consistent genetic progress achieved through selective breeding within the Ghoongroo pig breed. The scientifically managed nucleus herd of Ghoongroo pigs at the research institute serves as a valuable repository for preserving the breed’s genetic resources and acts as a conservation unit for this unique indigenous breed.

Millions of data at every meeting are questioned through social media, application websites, mobile applications, and internet usage that uses objects around us to be able to interact with each other known as the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT requires a database with very high performance and a high level of availability. NoSQL is one database that can store diverse data. Currently there are many NoSQL databases with different implementation and storage characteristics. This brings challenges in the selection of NoSQL databases used as IoT data storage media. In several studies that have been carried out by several researchers who use IoT data storage media using the Apache Cassandra NoSQL Database. The results of literature studies and literature reviews show that Cassandra is the best apache that can be used as a data storage sensor, and backend Internet of Things (IoT).

Objetivo: Analisar Transtorno de ansiedade generalizada e relação com a dermatite atópica. Revisão Bibliográfica:Ansiedade se refere à resposta do cérebro a perigo, estímulo que um organismo tentará ativamente evitar. Ela não é tipicamente patológica por ser um modo de se adaptar a vários cenários, de modo a evitar um possível perigo. O eczema atópico, ou dermatite atópica, é uma doença inflamatória, que tem diferentes fenótipos e graus de acometimento. Os sinais e sintomas se apresentam com xerodermia, eritema, prurido evoluindo até para infecções cutâneas e liquenificação da pele acometida. É uma patologia crônica, que tem grande impacto na qualidade de sono, socialização, bem estar e saúde mental do paciente afetado. Considerações finais: Destaca-se a intensidade e relação do transtorno de ansiedade generalizada e dermatite atópica, visto que o TAG é  um  distúrbio  psiquiátrico  extremamente  prevalente  na  sociedade  atual.  É  caracterizado  por sintomas  de preocupação  persistente,  excessiva  e  irreal  com  relação  às atividades básicas diárias,  o  que resulta   em   uma   queda   da   qualidade   de   vida   do   indivíduo.

Bar schedule dimensions: deductions for permitted deviations
Authors: Goodchild Charles , Toplis Paul
Published: November 2024

Standard deductions are applied to the dimensions of bent bars between concrete faces to improve the confidence of minimum covers being achieved and to improve fit. Traditionally, the deductions in BS 8110 have been applied. The introduction of new sets of permitted deviations in covers and element thicknesses in the Execution Standard, BS EN 13670, and the supersession of BS 8110 has led to the need to reconsider these deductions and ultimately to propose a new set, consistent with current Execution Standards.
Lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS) enforcement of human rights by algorithms?
Authors: Ruci Hektor
Published: November 2024

The aim of present article is to approach the relatively new field of lethal autonomous robots and weapon systems (LARs or LAWS) from the perspective of international law with a focus on human rights compliance. Initially, the topic became the subject of public awareness and discussions in 2009 and soon acquired both interest and criticism. The development of such weapon systems rises at the same time legal, moral, practical and ethical questions. In the absence of specific sui generis legal provisions regarding them, the article shall try to evaluate to what extent such concepts find legal and moral justification by the existing provisions of humanitarian law. In any case, as LAWS provide for important benefits, they should be considered under serious legal safeguard due to their impact on human rights, out-of-combat units and civilian population. All such benefits must be guided by ethical principles and legal provisions, either those already applied or new ones that would better fit this specific field.
Reinforced reasoning on a-typical evidence. An analysis based on the Italian experience
Authors: Cecchi Marco
Published: November 2024

The atypical evidence (i.e. the evidence not regulated by law) is a kind of evidence that assumes relevance in the Italian system, when – but not only – the process concerns technological innovations or instruments (e.g. videotaping, tracking by GPS, secret agent equipped for sound, trojan virus, AI tools etc.). A way to manage this peculiar evidence into the judgement is reinforced reasoning. In every juridical situation where this method is feasible, the judge has to adopt a decision technique structured by necessary steps, made up of arguments concerning salient aspects of the case/evidence under his examination and which must be appreciated in order to decide legitimately. These logic-argumentative passages increase the epistemological quality and the transparency of the assessment: and, overall, the value of the pronouncement. In particular, in front of atypical evidence, the decision maker has to cross three different steps – elaborated by jurisprudence and doctrine – to achieve the right conclusion: and this is precisely what we’re going to analyse in the paper.
AI unleashed: mastering the maze of the EU AI Act
Authors: Molnar David
Published: November 2024

The European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act represents a pioneering endeavour to align the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) with stringent ethical and safety norms, heralding a transformative phase for various professions. This paper delves into the Act’s deliberate attempt to strike a delicate equilibrium between encouraging technological innovation and imposing strict accountability measures, especially in contexts where AI is deemed high-risk. By analyzing the repercussions for critical sectors including healthcare, finance, and technology, we expose the paradoxical nature of compliance: it poses a formidable challenge necessitating comprehensive ethical guidelines, yet simultaneously acts as a stimulus for the development of groundbreaking ethical AI methodologies. Furthermore, we accentuate the worldwide influence of the EU’s regulatory framework, providing key strategic recommendations for adeptly manoeuvring through the dynamic AI regulatory environment. In essence, “AI Unleashed: Mastering the Maze of the EU AI Act” encapsulates the transformative potential of regulatory obstacles as avenues for fostering ethical innovation and propelling professional growth.
The future of central bank digital currency in the European Union and Hungary
Authors: Bujtár Zsolt
Published: November 2024

As of May 2024, 134 central banks representing 98% of the world’s GDP (Atlantic Council, 2024) were already exploring the possibility of introducing central bank digital currency. The study analyses the definition of central bank digital currency, the risks involved in its introduction, and the legislative environment for its introduction in the European Union. The study also reviews the possibility of introducing central bank digital currency in the case of Hungary, an EU Member State outside the European Monetary Union, with a particular focus on the monetary policy implications. The author concludes that membership of the European Monetary Union does not materially affect the decision to introduce central bank digital currency.
