Subjective task-load influences anthropomorphism during cooperative human and robot hand movements
Authors: Kaya Mertcan , Kühnlenz Kolja
Published: January 2025

This paper investigates the influence of subjective task-load on perceived anthropomorphism dimensions within a cooperative pick-and-place task. Two different robot mounting configurations are chosen, which are assumed to differ with respect to motor interference, thus, leading to different levels of task-load. Results show significant dependencies of the anthropomorphism and animacy sub-scales of Godspeed and HRIES tests on several NASA-TLX dimensions, whereas positive changes of anthropomorphism dimensions are associated with increased task-load. It is known, that the level of anthropomorphism influences performance and user experience parameters during human-robot cooperative tasks. So, the investigated effect might increase the gap between robot capabilities and user expectations due to over-humanization and should be considered in cooperative action planning.
Information Circularity Assistance based on extreme data
Authors: Graessler Iris , Weyrich Michael , Pottebaum Jens , Kamm Simon
Published: January 2025

This paper presents the concept of Information Circularity Assistance, which provides decision support in the early stages of product creation for Circular Economy. Engineers in strategic product planning need to proactively predict the quantity, quality, and timing of secondary materials and returned components. For example, products with high recycled content will only be economically sustainable if the material is actually available in the future product life. Our assumption is that Information Circularity Assistance enables decision makers to incorporate insights from extreme data – high-volume, high-velocity, heterogeneous and distributed data from the product life – into product creation through intelligent Digital Twins. Artificial Intelligence can help to derive sustainable actions in favor of circular products by processing extreme data and enriching it with expert knowledge. The research contributes in three key dimensions. First, a comprehensive literature review is conducted. This review covers concepts of intelligence in Scenario-Technique for strategic product planning, Digital Twin-based analysis of extreme data and relevant technologies from Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. In all areas, the state of the art and emerging trends are identified. Secondly, the study identifies information needs along the steps of the Scenario-Technique and information offerings based on Digital Twins. The concept of Information Circularity Assistance results from the coupling of these demands and offerings, extending the Scenario-Technique beyond traditional expert-based methods. Third, we extend existing Digital Twin methods used in circularity and discuss the deployment of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence algorithms within the product creation process. Our approach uses extreme data to provide a strategic advantage in optimizing product life cycle planning, which is illustrated by two sample applications. The aim is to provide Information Circularity Assistance that will support experienced product planners, developers, and decision makers in the future.
Infrared thermography based fault diagnosis of diesel engines using convolutional neural network and image enhancement
Authors: Wang Rongcai , Yan Hao , Dong Enzhi , Cheng Zhonghua , Li Yuan , Jia Xisheng
Published: January 2025

Diesel engines find extensive application in various production sectors, including industry and agriculture. Strengthening the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of diesel engines is of paramount importance in ensuring the smooth operation of production systems. Timely detection and elimination of defects play a crucial role in maintaining the normal functioning of these systems. Significant temperature fluctuations during the operation of diesel engines are often associated with malfunctions, including ignition failure, abnormal intake, and exhaust processes. Hence, the application of infrared thermography (IRT) for collecting infrared images of diesel engines and conducting quantitative analysis of the temperature distribution in these images has proven to be a faster and more efficient method for recognizing the health status of diesel engines, compared to other fault diagnosis methods. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in deep learning (DL) for fault diagnosis in various industries. This emerging trend has attracted significant attention from researchers. Convolutional neural network (CNN) has garnered significant attention owing to the exceptional capability in extracting image features. Therefore, the article presents a new fault diagnosis method for diesel engines using IRT and CNN. The proposed method involves conducting adaptive histogram equalization for image enhancement, followed by employing Softmax regression for pattern recognition. Finally, two sets of self-made experimental data are used to investigate the impact of temperature variations on fault diagnosis performance and to validate the efficacy of the proposed method in comparison with three DL methods. The findings indicate that this method exhibits superior performance in the realm of diesel engine fault diagnosis.

In 2014, a multi-type hoard of bronze metalwork was unearthed as a result of illegal metal detection on the peaty lakeshore in the village of Elgiszewo, north-central Poland. The hoard contains horse gear items, body and dress ornaments and other metal objects dating back to the Late Bronze Age, accompanied by casting mould and a Kannelurenstein that could have once formed part of a metalworker’s toolkit. This article presents and discusses the results of archaeological and metallographic examinations of the hoard, aided by paleoenvironmental, petrographic and traceological investigations of Kannelurensteine from the region. The results are then combined with the wider socio-economic context of the North European Bronze Age, including the geography of metal hoarding and the use of metal in the economic, social and ritual activities of the Lusatian period in Poland.
Integration of ionizing radiation and nano-clay for enhancing characters of CMC-PVA/Nano-clay bio-based films
Authors: Sayed Asmaa , Hegazy Dalia E. , Mahmoud Ghada A.
Published: January 2025

This study focuses on enhancing the characteristics of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) bio-based films through the integration of e-beam ionizing radiation and nano-clay. CMC-PVA blends with varying amounts of nano-clay were prepared and subjected to e-beam irradiation at different doses. The resulting bio-based films were analyzed for properties such as water absorption, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), thermal stability, mechanical strength, and structural characteristics using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The findings revealed that the optimal formulation consisted of 3 wt.% nano-clay and an irradiation dose of 20 kGy, which significantly reduced water absorption and WVTR. The WVTR for this optimal formulation was measured at 60.2 ± 2.2 × 10⁻2 g/cm2/day. Additionally, TGA results indicated similar thermal behavior for both CMC-PVA and CMC-PVA/nano-clay films, suggesting a physical interaction between the nano-clay and the polymer matrix. This work demonstrates that the controlled incorporation of nano-clay and irradiation can produce CMC-PVA/nano-clay bio-based films suitable for low-cost packaging applications.
Cartografia escolar e Ensino de Geografia
Authors: Lima Alves Danisléo , Pereira Dantas Sulivan
Published: January 2025

Este artigo se originou de um Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (TCC) desenvolvido no curso de graduação em uma universidade do Ceará, e através das discussões realizadas por um grupo de pesquisa e laboratório da mesma instituição. Temos por objetivo analisar a cartografia escolar inserida na formação docente em Geografia no estado do Ceará, através do currículo de 8 (oito) instituições de ensino superior públicas. Para a análise foi considerado o Projeto Pedagógico de Curso (PPC) das instituições, pesquisando as disciplinas que abordam a cartografia e observando se as ementas das disciplinas atentam para a iniciação à cartografia através da alfabetização cartográfica.  Por meio da análise documental,  percebemos que a aplicação da cartografia escolar na maioria dos PPCs analisados é considerada, mas a iniciação à cartografia é pouco abordada.

DESVENDANDO A ASSIMETRIA ENTRE OS PROGRAMAS DE VERDADE NA CONSTRUÇÃO DO PLANO DE MANEJO: ESTUDO DE CASO NO PARQUE NACIONAL DE SUPERAGUI
Authors: Rainho Ana Paula
Published: January 2025

O Parque Nacional de Superagui (Guaraqueçaba-PR) foi criado em 1989 e expandido em 1997 sobre diversas comunidades tradicionais caiçaras sem consulta prévia. Membros de uma dessas comunidades, conhecida como Barra do Ararapira, relatam como suas principais práticas culturais e produtivas foram afetadas pela criação do Parque, tais como a roça e o fandango caiçara. Os moradores estão preocupados porque atualmente há um processo de construção do Plano de Manejo, o qual a participação da comunidade foi limitada a uma breve consulta para avaliar como estas afetam os objetivos conservacionistas do Parque. Por outro lado, a comunidade foi a grande responsável pela criação e expansão do Parque através da luta dos mesmos pela proteção da natureza e por seus conhecimentos ecológicos tradicionais sobre espécies até então desconhecidas pela sociedade ocidental. Os moradores também questionam as práticas cientificas dos gestores do ICMBio, desacreditando que estas são as mais eficazes para preservar a região. A partir disso, questiona-se quem detém o direito de gerir o território e o porquê da negação na participação de tal comunidade no Plano de Manejo.

A REPRODUTIBILIDADE TECNOLÓGICA DA IMAGEM
Authors: La Rocca Fabio
Published: January 2025

A imagem é uma das características sensíveis da "climatologia" contemporânea, forma típica de visualização do mundo e do conhecimento ontológico através do olhar. Atualmente, os nossos olhos são confrontados com a crescente presença de novas tecnologias e a transfiguração da imagem pela passagem do analógico para o digital. Isto afeta fortemente a cultura, a comunicação, o imaginário coletivo e a vida quotidiana, com um forte impacto sobre a maneira de pensar e representar visualmente o mundo social. Nossa intenção é colocar em perspectiva a evolução e o papel da imagem digital e a influência dos diversos dispositivos tecnológicos. Uma interrogação ao mesmo tempo epistemológica, culturológica e metodológica através de uma mudança de paradigma que se insere em uma dinâmica de pensamento visual para mostrar a força, a relevância e a implicação do olho, do olhar e da percepção no desvelamento do mundo social.

Afloat on Hikosaka’s Sea
Authors: Mallozzi Lou
Published: January 2025

The author’s visit to the studio of Hikosaka Naoyoshi began with a discussion of specific works from the 1970s by Hikosaka but unfolded into a multilayered discourse by the artist on his philosophical approach to art-making. Taking a cue from the catalytic and tangential discourse and leaving behind notions of historical objectivity, the author explores connections between an early collaborative sound work of Hikosaka’s from 1972 and his works from the same period in photography and performance.

A Letter in Times of Genocide
Authors: Ramzy Carolyn
Published: January 2025

At the Society for Ethnomusicology’s 68th annual conference in Ottawa, Canada, several Indigenous graduate students, postdocs, as well as un/tenured faculty teamed up to present the conference keynote known as the Charles Seeger Lecture. Titled “Listen, Watch Your Step,” the performative lecture aimed to unsettle the “structural normativity that conscripts Indigenous experience to a narrow range of telling, sensing, and feeling” in the field of music knowledge-making and research. Importantly, the collaborators invited listeners to think carefully about the “structural weaknesses, epistemological myopia, and material inequalities” that often shape Indigenous experiences in conference settings, and by extension, in the field of ethnomusicology. When Indigenous presenters highlighted their recognition of another settler-colonial cleansing—this time in the ongoing genocide in Gaza—they were met with disruption and hostility from the audience, who were effectively refusing to listen to the ways ethnomusicology continues to be implicated in settler-colonial politics. In this letter addressed to the Indigenous participants of the Charles Seeger Lecture, I reflect on the dissonances of a discipline of the ear but one that does not yet listen. And I contemplate the power of divestment following the continued silencing of the society’s Indigenous, Black, and racialized members when raising issues of racism in our discipline: What would ethnomusicology be without our voices, bodies, stories, and without our bones?
“They want us to tell their story”
Authors: Hisama Ellie M.
Published: January 2025

Prompted by an invitation in Dylan Robinson’s Hungry Listening, I offer a Toronto-based letter to Robinson and Carter Mathes. I propose that we apprehend composer and performer Julius Eastman’s practice of refusal and the fragments of his radical sonic expressions through the ideas and practice of kintsugi (“golden repair”). I close with a letter to Frances Eastman, Julius Eastman’s mother, and emphasize the need for the telling of still untold stories, drawing from the words of the artist, activist, and traditional wisdom keeper Philip Cote.
Vilnius Cinematic Spaces: Eitvydas Doškus’ Dialogue with Almantas Grikevičius in Once Upon a Vilnius
Authors: Bidlauskienė Gintarė
Published: January 2025

This article compares two works of poetic documentary that depict Vilnius: Almantas Grikevičius’ Time Passes Through the City (1966) and Eitvydas Doškus’ Once Upon A Vilnius (2022). Employing a geocritical approach, the analysis investigates the interplay between the city and its cinematic representations. It highlights the thematic and aesthetic dialogue between the two films, contrasting Grikevičius’ modernist vision of Vilnius as a convergence of history and modernity with Doškus’ portrayal of a city in constant evolution, blending local heritage with global influences. The article aims to reveal the historically shifting strategies of Vilnius’ representation and to analyse the city’s resulting imagery and its impact. It argues that both films not only document transformations in Vilnius but also craft a distinctive perception of the city as a dynamic, intertextual, and intermedial space.
Perilaku Konsumen: Utility Versus Maṣlaḥah sebagai Rasionalitas dalam Ekonomi Islam
Authors: Fadllan Fadllan , Lailatul Maufiroh
Published: January 2025

In Islam, there are three types of needs; ḍarūriyāt, ḥājiyāt, and taḥsiniyāt needs. These needs have priorities that must be met that cannot be postponed. In consumption practices, some things are difficult to distinguish between needs (ḥājah) and wants (raghbah). This research is library research. Research data is obtained from reading, studying, and analyzing various literature related to consumption, utility, and Maṣlaḥah. This article aims to provide an explanation of whether consumption is done to meet needs or desires, and utility as the goal of conventional consumption. It would distinguish between consumption of which utility and Maṣlaḥah which more profitable. The results of the analysis of the literature in this study indicate that utility and Maṣlaḥah are two different criteria for consumer behavior, namely between need fulfillment and satisfaction based on consumer behavior orientation. However, Maṣlaḥah and benefits are both goals and can be achieved by both without harm. A consumer will meet the benefit, when they depend on the motivation to do.
 
Dalam Islam, terdapat tiga jenis kebutuhan; kebutuhan ḍarūriyāt, ḥājiyāt, dan taḥsiniyāt. Kebutuhan-kebutuhan tersebut memiliki prioritas yang harus dipenuhi yang tidak dapat ditunda. Pada praktik konsumsi, beberapa hal sulit dibedakan antara kebutuhan (need/ḥājah) dan keinginan (want/raghbah). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan, dimana data penelitian diperoleh dari membaca, mempelajari, dan menganalisis berbagai literatur yang berkaitan dengan konsumsi, utility, dan Maṣlaḥah. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan penjelasan apakah konsumsi dilakukan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan atau keinginan, dan utilitas sebagai tujuan konsumsi konvensional, serta antara konsumsi utilitas dan Maṣlaḥah yang mana yang lebih menguntungkan. Hasil analisis literatur dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa utilitas dan Maṣlaḥah merupakan dua kriteria perilaku konsumen yang berbeda, yaitu antara pemenuhan kebutuhan dan kepuasan berdasarkan orientasi perilaku konsumen. Namun, kemaslahatan dan kemanfaatan sama-sama merupakan tujuan dan dapat dicapai oleh keduanya tanpa merugikan. Seorang konsumen mengejar keuntungan dari utilitas dan maslahah bergantung pada motif melakukan konsumsi.
The Role of Exchange Rate in Moderating Effect of Sharia Shares, Sharia Mutual Funds, and Foreign Debt on National Economic Growth Rate in 2011-2023
Authors: Mukarromah Indriya Zayinul , Bawono Anton
Published: January 2025

High and sustainable economic growth must always be pursued to promote sustainable long-term economic development, improve welfare, and change the nation's economic foundation. Economic growth influences the welfare of society and is a benchmark for every country to see the growth and development of the country's economy. Several factors can affect economic growth in Indonesia, such as Islamic capital markets, foreign debt, and exchange rates. This study was conducted to analyze the ability of the exchange rate to moderate the influence of macroeconomic factors on the rate of economic growth for the period 2011-2023. This type of study is quantitative research using Moderated Regression Analysis as an analytical tool. The data used is secondary data with a quarterly period time series pattern obtained from official websites, such as the Financial Services Authority website for Sharia stock and Sharia mutual fund data, the Bank Indonesia website for foreign debt and exchange rate data, and the Central Statistics Agency for Gross Domestic Product. The sample in this study uses saturated sampling, which takes the entire quarterly data. For analysis assisted by Eviews 12 software with the results of foreign debt has a positive but insignificant effect on the rate of economic growth, the exchange rate has a positive and significant effect on the rate of economic growth, the exchange rate is not able to moderate Islamic stocks on the rate of economic growth, and the exchange rate can moderate foreign debt on the rate of economic growth.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a disease primarily affecting premature infants. NEC pathogenesis is based on the development of inflammation damaging mucous membranes associated with bacterial colonization, intestinal epithelium immaturity, intestinal blood flow regulation, and excessive inflammatory response activation. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with very early onset (VEO-IBD) can also manifest in the neonatal period. They are characterized by severe course, often resistant to traditional immunosuppressive therapy. This article discusses the features of NEC pathogenesis and differential diagnosis with VEO-IBD. Despite certain similarities in pathogenesis, NEC and IBD are different diseases. Infantile onset IBD is more often associated with monogenic diseases and primary immunodeficiency. VEO-IBD is a chronic disease characterized by damage to all intestinal layers and has a lower incidence compared to NEC. Its clinical manifestations may include chronic diarrhea, blood in stool, delayed physical development, perianal diseases, and ulcerations in the oral cavity. Infantile onset VEO-IBD usually affects the colon, while NEC affects the ileum in premature infants. The intestinal microbiome in VEO-IBD also has specific features. It has been reported that clinical cases of Crohn’s disease in patients who had NEC in the neonatal period are associated with NEC surgery. It is crucial to consider perinatal period features when assessing the IBD risk (prenatal effects of antibacterial therapy and smoking, several courses of antibacterial therapy during the first year of life, and formula feeding).

Background. There is limited Russian data on infant sleep environment. Updating this data within large-scale studies, as well as identifying risk factors of unsafe organization of infant sleep environment are crucial for targeted preventive work and implementation of effective educational program. Objective. The aim of the study is to examine infant sleep environment organization and parents’ characteristics associated with co-sleeping with children. Methods. The study included mothers of infants referred to a doctor in 8 children’s out-patient clinics (in cities of Syktyvkar, Yakutsk, Petrozavodsk, Arkhangelsk, and Severodvinsk). Socio-demographic and behavioral characteristics of parents were recorded. The organization of infant sleep was evaluated by the presence of separate baby bed, its appearance, location, use of pillow, blanket, presence of any other objects in the bed, co-sleeping in the same bed with parents, baby’s posture during sleep, use of special sleep devices and soother. Results. 2,990 mothers took part in the survey. Co-sleeping was practiced in 1849 (61.8%) families, allowed infant to sleep on the side or stomach — in 1133 (37.9%), confirmed the use of pillows — in 720 (24.1%). There are toys and care items in 1179 (39.9%) babies’ beds during their sleep. According to multi-factor analysis: co-sleeping is associated with low (< 50 thousand rubles/month) family income — odds ratio (OR) 1.55 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.30–1.86), artificial or mixed infant feeding — OR 0.55 (95% CI 0.47–0.64), and family alcohol intake — OR 0.65 (95% CI 0.42–0.99). Conclusion. High prevalence of unsafe organization of infant sleep environment was revealed. Modifiable risk factors are the infant’s posture during sleep, use of soft bedding, and co-sleeping with the infant.
Becoming Undisciplined: On Pathways to Environmental and Racial Justice in Early Modern Studies
Authors: Eklund Hillary , Park Jennifer , Sarkar Debapriya , Thompson Ayanna
Published: January 2025

This essay is born of the belief that racial justice, social justice, and environmental justice are mutually entangled. Despite their shared commitments to justice, early modern ecocriticism and premodern critical race studies have rarely been in conversation with each other. We address this aporia here and ponder how such intersections can create pathways to more inclusive futures for early modern studies, and for literary studies more broadly. We begin with a brief reflection about how we came to these topics; we then turn to literary and critical works that illustrate the interconnectedness of these issues in premodern literature and explore how those connections persist and haunt our own thinking and writing. This essay is not argumentative in the traditional sense, but rather invites our scholarly communities to unlearn our way to different possibilities.
The Animal That Remembers: History, Hauntology, and Animality in Elizabeth Gaskell's Sylvia's Lovers and Ian McGuire's The North Water
Authors: Huggan Graham , Nicolov Sophia
Published: January 2025

This essay compares two historical novels, one set in the Victorian period that suggests connections between the Victorian and contemporary eras and the other written in the Victorian period but looking back to a similarly unfinished past. The novels in question, Ian McGuire's The North Water (2016) and Elizabeth Gaskell's Sylvia's Lovers (1863), are both whaling narratives of a kind, but whales feature only infrequently in them: they are largely absent presences—if also important vehicles for memory—in the texts. The essay takes a hauntological approach to explore how the figure of the spectral animal forces readers to reflect on the systematic violence that the human world has historically inflicted on the nonhuman; the texts also open up a colloquy with the dead, both human and nonhuman, that is as much a reckoning with the present as a confrontation with the past.
J. G. Farrell's Lost Polio Novel
Authors: Seiler Claire
Published: January 2025

This essay brings to light J. G. Farrell's novel The Lung (1965), a singularly inventive and politically incisive fiction of epidemic polio. It situates the novel in three key contexts: the neglected history of epidemic poliomyelitis and the state response to it in the postwar United Kingdom; the mid-century polio culture industry; and the English novel itself, which genre The Lung finds incommensurate with the range and extremes of physical pain caused by poliomyelitis. Farrell's novel has been out of print since a paperback edition of 1967 and has never been published outside the United Kingdom. This essay understands the obscurity of The Lung as indicative of a larger and increasingly urgent disconnect between literary studies and the history of public health.
Richard Wright and the Literary Popular Front: Progressive Interwar Writers, Antiracist Nationalism, and the Cold War Birth of World Literature
Authors: Strand Eric
Published: January 2025

Richard Wright is exemplary of an interwar version of world literature, undergirded by the cultural centers of Moscow and Paris, that valorized progressive antiracist nationalism. Influenced by leftist writers like André Malraux, Wright created the masterpiece of this literary Popular Front, Native Son. During the postwar Red Scare, Wright continued his Popular Front–style cultural politics in Paris, helping France resist the CIA-engineered cultural Cold War. His underappreciated The Outsider resists the construction of a politically quietist canon of high modernist world literature. Although Wright himself later advanced an American exceptionalist perspective in the 1950s, the circulation and translation of his early work inspired a generation of anticolonial writers, such as Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Ousmane Sembène, and Frantz Fanon. Today's globalization-driven world literature models overlook or actively seek to discredit Wright's progressive and antiracist model.
Tipping Points: Abuse and Transformative Discovery
Authors: Schroeder Mark
Published: January 2025

This paper explores how philosophical accounts of the nature of persons and attributive responsibility can help us to make sense of the kinds of characteristic errors that people make in interpreting what is attributable to one another.  I show how this gives us an important tool for understanding some important kinds of interpersonal conflict, with particular attention to understanding why Maya Angelou's advice that "when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time" can seem easier to have followed from the privileged perspective of retrospection than it really was in prospect.

Brief historical cross-section of epidemiology and statistics - Paul Johannes Tillich
Authors: Fontanini Walter M.
Published: January 2025

This study contains two main parts. The first one presents the German historical context of Tillich's work, paving the way for a more comprehensive appreciation of his theological and philosophical contributions. The second one investigates the central topic of fundamental human fears as investigated in his groundbreaking book. This analysis dissects the precise forms of anxiety that are creating these fears. The conclusion outlines potential avenues for future research, discovering how theology, psychology, and ethics intersect to provide insights into the experiences of elderly individuals. There is paid specific attention to the role of these disciplines as they facilitate coping with anxiety and encourage courage in later life.

This study traces the intellectual journey of Paul Tillich, while focusing on his central role in the emerging existential psychology. It presents a historical perspective of Tillich's German roots, later on, it discusses his interrelations with key figures such as Manheim, Horkheimer, Adorno, and Heidegger, and his move to the US, where he influenced Rollo May and the development of existentialist psychology. The core of this study explores Tillich's “The Courage to Be” and juxtaposes it with May's “The Meaning of Anxiety” and “The Courage to Create”, suggesting a collective interpretation. The study also highlights Tillich's influence on figures such as Martin Luther King Jr.. Its conclusion outlines possible avenues of research in existential psychology, gerontology, and the interplay between theology and psychology.
Public Finance and Debt Crises in Southern Africa: A Push for Central Banks over Parliaments
Authors: Zongwe Dunia
Published: January 2025

In the soaring symphony of fiscal policy in Southern Africa, this paper orchestrates a new tune, proposing that central banks, not parliaments, should take the lead role in managing and taming sovereign debt. This proposal reacts to the adoption by the Southern African Development Community (SADC) of the Public Finance Management Model Law on July 14th last year – a law that empowers SADC parliaments, especially their public accounts committees (PACs), to oversee governments’ management of public debts. Among other things, this model law on public finance management (PFM) provides for debt ceilings and the steering of public debts towards SADC voluntary debt target of 50% of gross domestic product (GDP).
Drawing on law and economics, this paper criticizes SADC’s decision to empower parliaments to tame sovereign debts as hopelessly naïve because they lack the incentives to do so. Instead, this paper proposes that SADC reallocates to central banks the heavy responsibility to act as stewards of sovereign debt management because the 2009 SADC Central Bank Model Law and the municipal laws that domesticated it have entrenched the independence of central banks from external interference and political pressure.
In a region that houses the world’s two most unequal societies, South Africa and Namibia, parliaments will most probably not sacrifice their electability in order to rein in public finances and sovereign debt. The world’s first-ever model community law on PFM, the SADC PFM Model Law affords policymakers and scholars a golden opportunity to rekindle the debate on sovereign debts in a region where economies and public finances have been ravaged by low-growth or recession since the mid-2010s, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine War, high inflation, and the cost-of-living crisis.
Generosity as a Constitutive Element in African Customary Law: Some Thoughts on Muvhali v Lukhele (21/34140) [2022] ZAGPJHC 402 (18 July 2022)
Authors: Sindane Ntando
Published: January 2025

Over the last decade, courts have been called upon to adjudicate the validity of marriages under the auspices of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act 120 of 1998. In Muvhali v Lukhele (21/34140) [2022] ZAGPJHC 402 (18 July 2022) the high court had to decide on the validity of a marriage, considering contested claims to the succession of a deceased estate. In this case note I discuss the court's findings with the background of its reasoning that the inception of African customary law is born a the spirit of generosity. In implied terms, the court asserted that generosity is a constitutive element of customary law, insisting that this must be reflected in how both facts and the law are interpreted where customary disputes are concerned. I briefly investigate the essence of "generosity", its historicity and the potential implications for customary law disputes, particularly those that have to do with customary marriages. The thesis of my argument is that the acceptance of an undefined generosity as a constitutive element of customary law brings about a level of legal uncertainty, but that this is not a weakness. Instead, it is an opportunity for a radical (and even decolonial) re-imagination of a legal system that embraces the jurisprudence of generosity. If understood and applied correctly, African customary law can be exemplary for other disciplines of law in terms of achieving some of the transformative aspirations of the post-apartheid constitutional order.

Basado en la temática de ríos urbanos, con enfoque en el drenaje urbano, este estudio buscó soluciones basadas en la naturaleza para resolver y mitigar crecidas, inundaciones y desbordes del río Brejo, afluente del arroyo Serra, ubicado en Santa Fé de Goiás, en la región centro-occidental del cerrado de Goiás. La investigación se fundamenta en el concepto de Infraestructura Verde (IV), con el apoyo literario de Pellegrino (2011) y Benedict y McMahon (2016), en colaboración con otros autores que abordaron temas relevantes para este estudio. Tomando como referencia las “ciudades esponja”, la propuesta paisajística para el río Brejo pretende incorporar diferentes tipos de infraestructura verde, destacando la implementación del Lago Pluvial y de humedales como estrategias de gestión del agua de lluvia en áreas urbanas.
Infraestrutura Verde Centrada no Humano
Authors: Trevisan Simone
Published: January 2025

The research focuses on human security as an expanded concept, encompassing the protection of life and well-being in urban areas, which is relevant to the discussion on sustainable urban planning. The objective of this study is to show the importance of integrating green infrastructure with human security principles in cities, aiming to improve the quality of life and well-being of residents. Through an exploratory approach, the study combines a literature review, comparative analysis, and case studies, focusing on successful international examples of green infrastructure implementations. The findings suggest that green infrastructure not only contributes to environmental improvement but also promotes social cohesion and reduces inequalities, thereby increasing the resilience of cities to environmental and social crises. The study provides a theoretical foundation for the implementation of more inclusive and sustainable public policies, while also proposing the use of continuous monitoring technologies, such as applications, to evaluate and modify urban interventions. The social and environmental benefits include promoting residents' mental and physical health, reducing pollution, and creating public spaces that foster community interaction and environmental preservation.

El movimiento ecologista redefinió nuestra forma de entender la naturaleza, elevándola a la categoría de paisaje valorado. Esta nueva perspectiva ha permitido reinsertar los elementos naturales en el contexto urbano mediante la creación de zonas verdes como parques y plazas. El urbanismo ecológico (UE) y la infraestructura verde (IV) representan una nueva forma de planificación de las ciudades que busca soluciones innovadoras que concilien el desarrollo urbano y la sostenibilidad medioambiental. El objetivo de este estudio es destacar la importancia, los retos y sugerir soluciones prácticas para implantar el urbanismo ecológico combinado con la infraestructura verde en las grandes ciudades. La investigación utiliza una revisión bibliográfica de estudios sobre urbanismo ecológico, infraestructura verde y planificación urbana sostenible, destacando iniciativas aplicadas en grandes ciudades de todo el mundo. Se analizaron artículos, informes y experiencias urbanas que ejemplifican la aplicación de estos conceptos. El trabajo revela que la infraestructura verde, como parques, corredores ecológicos y tejados verdes, ofrece beneficios como la regulación térmica, la mejora de la calidad del aire, el control de las inundaciones y el aumento de la biodiversidad urbana. Sin embargo, entre los retos se encuentran la falta de integración entre las políticas públicas, el elevado coste de su implantación y la resistencia de los sectores económicos tradicionales. El estudio concluye que, aunque los beneficios de la UE y las RI son evidentes, su aplicación a gran escala depende de cambios estructurales en las políticas urbanas y de una mayor concienciación de la sociedad. Adoptar un enfoque integrado es esencial para superar los retos y promover ciudades más sostenibles y resilientes en el futuro.

Due to the advancement of urbanization and the increase in waterproof areas, several parts of the city of Recife, including Rua Benfica, in front of Praça Euclides da Cunha, become susceptible to flooding during periods of intense rain. Given this scenario, this study proposes the implementation of a Rain Garden (JC) as a sustainable solution to mitigate recurrent flooding. The research was carried out using simulations in the Hydrus-1D software, considering four layers of soil, in addition to rainfall data obtained from the National Center for Monitoring and Alerts of Natural Disasters, with the objective of predicting the JC's water retention capacity on rainy days. . The results indicate a significant reduction in surface runoff, with a decrease in the number of flooding days from 194 to 15 in the analyzed period. It was observed that operational events greater than 30 mm present a high risk of flooding in the area. These findings suggest that improving the garden on site is efficient in containing flooding, in addition to promoting environmental benefits, it also represents a viable solution to improve urban drainage in the face of rain events on Rua Benfica.
