Published: November 2024

يسعى البحث إلى بيان بعض الألفاظ الفصيحة في لهجة شهران العريضة، وبيان علاقة هذه الألفاظ بالفصيح من خلال التنقيب عنها في معاجم العربية القديمة كمعجم لسان العرب لابن منظور، ومقاييس اللغة لابن فارس، وتاج العروس للزبيدي، وإيراد ما أمكن من شواهد وأمثلة، وقد اتبع المنهج التاريخي من خلال وصف المفردة في اللهجة واستعمالاتها والاستدلال عليها، والبحث عن موافقتها للفصيح في معاجم اللغة القديمة الآنفة الذكر، وتتبع تاريخ شهران العريضة محل دراسة اللهجة في كتب الأنساب والتاريخ القديمة ومواقعهم، وفروعهم، والظواهر اللهجية السائدة في القبيلة؛ لارتباط ذلك باللهجة، وقد تم تقسيم البحث إلى مقدمة وتمهيد، وقسمين، ركز التمهيد على مفهوم العربية الفصحى واللهجة والعلاقة بينها. وتناول القسم الأول نبذة موجزة عن قبيلة شهران العريضة، والظواهر اللهجية فيها. ثم تطرق القسم الثاني: نماذج من الألفاظ الفصيحة في لهجة شهران العريضة، وأصولها في المعاجم القديمة. وقد توصل البحث إلى أن لهجة شهران لها أصول في العربية الفصحى. وأن هذه الألفاظ المختارة من لهجة شهران العريضة توافق الفصيح الوارد في المعاجم القديمة.
A Rollercoaster of Grades Versus Growth in the Clerkship Year: A Phenomenological Study of Medical Student Experience with Competency Development
Authors: Kelleher Matthew , Kinnear Benjamin , Weber Danielle , Martini Abigail , Santen Sally A. , Baker Pamela , Turner Laurah , Warm Eric , Klein Melissa , Schumacher Daniel
Published: November 2024

Purpose: As competency-based medical education (CBME) continues to advance in undergraduate medical education, students are expected to simultaneously pursue their competency development while also discriminating themselves for residency selection. During the foundational clerkship year, it is important to understand how these seemingly competing goals are navigated.
Methods: In this phenomenological qualitative study, the authors describe the experience of 15 clerkship students taking part in a pilot pathway seeking to implement CBME principles. These students experienced the same clerkship curriculum and requirements with additional CBME components such as coaching, an entrustment committee to review their data, a dashboard to visualize their assessment data in real-time, and meeting as a community of practice.
Results: Students shared their experiences with growth during the clerkship year. They conveyed the importance of learning from mistakes, but pushing past their discomfort with imperfect performance was a challenge when they feel pressure to perform well for grades. This tension led to significant effort spent on impression management while also trying to identify their role, clarify expectations, and learn to navigate feedback.
Conclusions: Tension exists in the clinical environment for clerkship students between an orientation that focuses on maximizing grades versus maximizing growth. The former defined an era of medical education that is fading, while the latter offers a new vision for the future. The threats posed by continuing to grade and rank students seems incompatible with goals of implementing CBME.

WHAT ARE THE ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF INCOME INEQUALITY ON SOCIAL MOBILITY AND ECONOMIC STABILITY?"
Authors: Loyalka Vihaan
Published: November 2024

Income inequality has recently come to be viewed as one of the greatest challenges facing the world today. In recent years, the topic has dominated the agenda of the World Economic Forum (WEF), where the world’s top political and business leaders attend.” (Polacko et al, 2021)

Income inequality has become a pressing concern in recent years, and for good reason. It's not just about some people having more money than others - it's about how this gap between the rich and poor affects our society and economy as a whole. This paper explores how income inequality impacts two crucial aspects of our economic life: social mobility (the ability to move up the economic ladder) and economic stability (how steady and reliable our economy is).

When we talk about income inequality, we're looking at how unevenly money is spread out among people in a society. Imagine a pie being cut into slices of very different sizes - that's kind of what income inequality looks like. Some people get big slices, while others get crumbs.

This uneven split of money isn't just a problem for those with smaller "slices." It can cause ripple effects throughout the entire economy, making it harder for people to improve their financial situation and potentially making our whole economic system more shaky.

“Income inequality compares the position of one household to another household at the same point in time. In contrast, income mobility compares the position of one household to itself at different points in time. Paying attention to mobility, as well as inequality, gives us a richer picture of the income possibilities for households over time” (Daniel R. Carroll et al, 2024)
Naguib Mahfouz: A Nobel Laureate Shaping the Legacy of Arabic Literature
Authors: Ahmed Dr. Noor Uddin , Ahmed Dr. Farid Uddin , Khatun Amina
Published: November 2024

Naguib Mahfouz, one of Egypt’s most celebrated novelists, is a cornerstone of modern Arabic literature. His remarkable contributions to the literary world earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988, making him the first Arabic-language writer to receive this prestigious accolade. Mahfouz’s literary career began in the 1930s when he published his debut novel, “The Absurdity of Destiny”. Over several decades, he produced impressive work that included over 50 novels, numerous short stories, and plays. His writings often explored profound themes such as existential dilemmas, social and political dynamics, and the intricate nature of human relationships.A hallmark of Mahfouz’s storytelling is his deep engagement with Egyptian society, vividly portraying thelives, struggles, and aspirations of ordinary people. His iconic “Cairo Trilogy”, which includes “Palace Walk” (Bayn al-Qaṣrayn), “Palace of Desire” (Qaṣr al-Shawq), and “Sugar Street” (Sukkariya), is a monumental achievement in Arabic literature. This trilogy offers a sweeping narrative of family life across three generations while capturing the cultural, social, and political shifts in Egypt from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. Through his masterful use of language and insightful exploration of human experiences, Mahfouz’s work transcended regional boundaries, earning him international recognition and cementing his legacy as a literary pioneer. His profound influence continues to inspire readers and writers around the globe.
POWERS OF NOTARIES IN THE FIELD OF PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA OF CITIZENS RELATED TO REAL ESTATE RIGHTS
Authors: PUSHKINA A.V.
Published: November 2024

The article determines that until recently, personal data about the copyright holders of real estate objects was very poorly protected. Until March 1, 2023, anyone could receive them. This state of affairs was contrary to the legislation on the protection of personal data, and therefore restrictions on access to such information were introduced. Now, as a general rule, a notary is authorized to request this data from the Unified State Register of Real Estate if the applicant proves that he needs it to protect his rights. The problems that arose when notaries carried out the notarial act to certify the existence of information in the Unified State Register of Real Estate were identified, and ways to solve them were proposed.

Published: November 2024

O uso de práticas integrativas e complementares é reconhecido como recurso terapêutico curativo e paliativo, contribuindo na melhoria da qualidade de vida da população. A OMS sempre demonstrou importância no uso destas práticas. Por isso em 2006, no Brasil, é criada a Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares (PNPIC) que, por meio de três portarias inclui 29 práticas para o SUS. O objetivo do estudo foi identificar qual o conhecimento, aceitação e interesse dos usuários do SUS pelas PICs no município de Santa Cruz do Sul, RS. A coleta de dados ocorreu no período de março a maio/18 e participaram da pesquisa usuários de 18 Estratégias Saúde da Família e 2 Unidades Básicas de Saúde, totalizando 274 questionários respondidos. Do total de entrevistados, 233 (85%) já ouviram falar sobre as PICs e 111 usuários (40,5%) já as utilizaram em algum momento; 261 (95,3%) acreditam que as PICs possam contribuir com o atendimento dos serviços; 264 (96,4%) reconhecem as PICs como práticas de prevenção e promoção da saúde; 255 (93,1%) tiveram interesse na implementação destas práticas no SUS. A associação entre as variáveis conhecer e utilizar as PICs; conhecer e ter interesse na implementação das PICs no SUS foi significativa (p<0,05). Estes resultados permitem concluir que muitos desejam que estas práticas sejam implementadas no SUS, tornando-se necessário o interesse e planejamento da gestão pública na inclusão destas práticas nos serviços de saúde do município, com intuito de promover e prevenir a saúde da população.

A sign of the times: Female principles and promiscuous identities
Authors: Goldberg Brenda
Published: November 2024

As an undergraduate, I wrote an essay about trans-gender based on Jan Morris’s (1974) autobiographyConundrum.At the time it was less the topic area of trans-gender that intrigued me, than Suzanne Moore’s (1988, pp.173-174) own stated conundrum: ‘ĩf it’s no longer necessary to be a woman to speak as a woman, how do you speak as a feminist? ĩn her bookJan Morris’s quest seemed less about being a woman, as ĩ understood it, and more about appropriating an abstraction she termed the female principle’ This paper explores what ĩ now identify as the materialisation of this ‘female principle’ The paper reflects back on an era that has iconised female figures as emblems of a new found emotional sensitivity. Within this milieu public figures freely appropriate the discourses of feminism, and femininity, through such terms as flexibility, compassion, inclusion, and diversity, while pursuing political ends. Meanwhile, capital, cross-dressed in similar female garb, ‘speaks as a woman’ while implementing aggressive, colonising market practices. As femininity becomes a commodity, the paper asks, what ‘sign’ is left for women. Finally the paper touches on an issue which crystallised in the reviewing of this article for publication, namely, the impact of this cultural shft on the ‘style’ andfuture of feminist (academic) writings. it may be noticed that this article not only uses journalism as a source of reference but also adopts a journalistic style and pace of presentation reflecting my own frustration with the (traditionally masculine)formal constraints of academic writing. in other words, the paper documents my own growing promiscuity as a female academic. And where the need to explore more topical, popular and contextual trends has taken me to unexpected places. As my analysis suggests, this impulse itself is overtly gendered, or trans-gendered. The ‘times’ seem to call for more hybrid ways of assessing the impact of commodfi- cation on feminist politics.
Why criminalise forced marriage? Islamophobia- and Assimilation-based justifications
Authors: McAlpine Claire , Gill Aisha , Hegarty Peter
Published: November 2024

Recently, Government consultations were conducted in relation to the creation of a specific criminal offence of ‘forced marriage’ within the UK. Between September and December, 2005, 126 participants, 108 of whom were Caucasian British students, completed surveys that measured ambivalent sexism, endorsement of multiculturalism, Islamophobia, support of forced marriage legislation and knowledge of forced marriage. A positive correlation was found between support for the assimilation of cultural ‘others’, justifications for criminalising forced marriage, and high levels of Islamophobia. Islamophobic students also knew less about forced marriage and supported imposing cultural majority marriage customs (i.e. a ‘love’ marriage) over cultural minority marriage customs (i.e. arranged marriages). When given a chance to make open-ended comments about forced marriage, participants frequently constructed it as an ethnic minority issue, or one of universal human rights, but never as a women’s issue. These students’ opinions suggest that minority women are invisible as women in this debate, and that support for assimilation within both the media’s and the Government’s discussions of cultural practices may reinforce and legitimise prejudicial beliefs.
Economics and Psychology in a Beneficial Combination
Authors: A Trifu
Published: November 2024

The Lean Method was brought to my attention by students in Marketing especially, discussing the role of it in Sell-Buy process, in action
marketer-customer. In fact, it’s about the Lean Management term and method, and its special combination of economic aspect-the economic term
of Lean- and psychological aspect, supporting the best understanding firm-customer relationships. For the economic/marketing approach, it is
possible to interact with the customer, by guiding him, tracking him to the end of the action/process that is in the E-2-E manner. That is, we move the
analysis to the interrelations with customers. But, the accent is put on the psychological approach, because the marketing techniques regard the final
stage of Sell-Buy negotiations. We are interested in how the seller/the marketer use psychological mindsets that is the possibilities of approaching
clients that the pure marketing tools to match perfectly on this intention. We use information and cases presented in media, or opinions of specialists
and even bachelors in Economics who work in marketing domain. We develop the analysis using a sound psychological method, applicable to the
situation presented. We are referring to Voice of Customer (VoC) method action which influences straight the relationships marketers-customers.
VoC analysis involves multiple sources of receiving/understanding and determining customer’s needs and expectations, plus being considered a
vector for any process/product improvement within a firm. Essentially for the firm is the fact that VoC can help you reduce waste and inefficiencies,
by eliminating features or activities that do not add value to your customers, or that cause dissatisfaction or frustration.
Lacidophilin be a Possible Medicine to Cure Gout
Authors: Zhang Jiayi
Published: November 2024

Gout is a prevalent disease that causes extreme pain to the patient, it is mainly led by hyperuricemia. Traditional idea to treat gout is to take less
purine and use some drugs; however, purine is also important nutritional material in the human body and the drugs have side-effects that can’t be
ignored. It should be dysfunction of uric acid decomposition or excretion that causes hyperuricemia, not purine intake. Lactobacillus has important
functions in inhibiting uric acid biosynthesis during purine metabolism and gut microbiota with allantoinase gene could convert uric acid into urea.
In mice experiment Lactobacillus is predominant genus in gut microbiota of healthy mice, while the mice with antibiotic-associated diarrhea have
significant decrease in abundance of it, and Lacidophilin has good effect to recover its abundance same to be healthy level; therefore, it possibly is a
better medicine for curing gout.
Metformin Associated Lactic Acidosis (MALA Syndrome): A Case Report
Authors: F De Stefano
Published: November 2024

Metformin is the most commonly prescribed drug to treat diabetes in the world: its action is based on activation of AMPK chinase with
different metabolic effects, such as reduction of gluconeogenesis, increases peripheral uptake of glucose, and decreases fatty acid oxidation.
Lactic acidosis is the most frequent cause of metabolic acidosis associated at use of metformin and the risk increases accumulation in presence
of precipitating factors as acute kidney injury or dehydration. The presence of chronic kidney disease increases the risk of MALA syndrome.
Les effets systémiques des biais, stéréotypes et préjugés envers les jeunes noir[e]s en milieux éducatifs : des réalités attestées, mais peu connues ou reconnues
Authors: Potvin Maryse
Published: November 2024

En dépit du refus du premier ministre du Québec de reconnaître l’existence du « racisme systémique » au Québec, jugeant ce terme trop culpabilisant pour la majorité, il existe une importante littérature officielle, scientifique et communautaire au Québec et au Canada — et une jurisprudence en matière de discrimination — qui ont défini le racisme systémique et démontré ses logiques et manifestations en éducation. Or, si le phénomène est attesté de longue date, ses manifestations plus subtiles (comme le biais « d’adultification » des jeunes noir[e]s), qui ont des effets systémiques, ne sont pas toujours connues et reconnues par les acteurs scolaires. Cet article repose sur une recension non systématique et non exhaustive des rapports d’enquête, statistiques et études empiriques au Québec, au Canada et aux États-Unis, dont les grands constats convergent quant aux biais, stéréotypes et préjugés envers les jeunes noir[e]s et à leurs effets systémiques, malgré des contextes nationaux différents. L’objectif était avant tout pédagogique : montrer que le racisme invisibilisé rend les problèmes des élèves noirs non reconnus ou marginaux, ce qui conduit à une sous-protection (under-protecting) et à une prise en compte négligée de leurs besoins ou, à l’inverse, à des conduites de surveillance accrue (over-policing) et de profilage à l’égard des jeunes noir[e]s.

Exploring the Cultivation of Undergraduate English Literature Comprehension Skills: A Reform Practice in Ecology Course
Authors: Kan Xurundong , Li Min , Liu Zaiqiong , Xu Yiren , Zhang Jianqiang
Published: November 2024

In an effort to enhance the English literature comprehension skills of undergraduate students, this study delves into the integration of ecologic course curriculum as a means for fostering effective reading strategies. By examining the current challenges faced by students in navigating the complex landscape of academic literature, the research underscores the significance of equipping them with the necessary tools to engage in scholarly discourse.Drawing upon previous studies that highlight the importance of active learning and contextual understanding in enhancing reading comprehension, the study proposes an innovative teaching approach. This approach is centered on a reform in the ecologic course design, incorporating elements that foster critical thinking, collaborative learning, and the application of knowledge in real-world scenarios. By integrating activities such as group discussions, case studies, and peer-reviewed assignments, the curriculum aims to create an immersive learning environment that mirrors the demands of scholarly literature.The methodology employed in this study involved a mixed-methods approach, incorporating quantitative data from pre- and post-assessments and qualitative feedback through interviews and focus groups. This comprehensive evaluation allowed for the assessment of students' progress in their reading comprehension skills, as well as their perceptions of the reform's effectiveness.Results from the study revealed a significant improvement in students' ability to comprehend and analyze English academic texts. They demonstrated enhanced critical thinking skills, better understanding of disciplinary jargon, and increased confidence in engaging with scholarly literature. Moreover, the students' positive feedback indicated that the reform promoted not only academic growth but also a deeper appreciation for the subject matter.In light of these findings, the study concludes that integrating a reading-focused approach within the ecologic course curriculum is a promising strategy for fostering English literature comprehension skills among undergraduate students. Future directions suggest the need for further exploration into the scalability of this approach across different disciplines and institutions, as well as the potential for incorporating digital tools and resources to augment the learning experience. By nurturing a strong foundation in reading comprehension, higher education institutions can better prepare their students for the rigors of academic research and contribute to the cultivation of a globally competitive workforce.

Authors: REHMAN AU , HUSSAIN S , ULLAH F , HABIB M , SIKANDAR S , MASOOD MA
Published: November 2024

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe complication that can develop in patients with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), leading to increased morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the frequency and associated risk factors of PAH in post-TB patients, with a focus on age, gender, BMI, and duration since TB diagnosis. Objective: To assess the frequency of PAH and identify potential risk factors in post-TB patients, providing insights to guide improved screening and follow-up practices. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 108 post-TB patients at the Department of Pulmonology, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar from January 2024 to July 2024. PAH was diagnosed using echocardiography, with pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) thresholds set above 20 mmHg. Data were analyzed to assess associations between PAH and variables including age, gender, BMI, and time since TB diagnosis. Results: The study found a 35.2% prevalence of PAH among post-TB patients. Older age and longer duration since TB diagnosis were significantly associated with higher PAH frequency, while gender and BMI were not significantly associated with PAH risk. Conclusion: It is concluded that PAH is a common complication in post-TB patients, particularly among older individuals and those further removed from their TB diagnosis. These findings underscore the need for routine PAH screening in high-risk post-TB patients to enable timely intervention and improve outcomes.

Authors: Al-Zubaidi Yassir Mohammed Ali , Abdul Kadir Arifah , Zakaria Zainul Amiruddin
Published: November 2024

Background: Ardisia crenata (A. crenata) and Peliosanthes teta Andrew (P. teta) are popular medicinal plants in Malaysia that are claimed to have several biological effects. Objective: To assess the anticancer and radical-scavenging properties of A. crenata and P. teta methanolic extracts. Methods: TPC was quantified using the Folin-Ciocalteu test; free radical scavenging was evaluated using the 2,2'-azino-bis3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays; and cytotoxic activity was assessed using the MTT assay. Results: In both ABTS and DPPH systems, A. crenata exhibits much higher radical scavenging activity than ascorbic acid. P. teta showed less significant antioxidant activity. Furthermore, A. crenata methanolic extracts demonstrated free radical scavenging properties in a concentration-dependent manner, quenching ABTS and DPPH radicals with no lag phase observed in the experiments. Furthermore, A. crenata had a strong cytotoxic effect on the breast cancer 4T1 cell line but had no suppression of cell viability in the 3T3 normal fibroblast cell line. Interestingly, the TPC of A. crenata was significantly higher than that of P. teta methanolic extracts. Conclusions: A. crenata showed antioxidant and anticancer action against breast cancer 4T1 cells, indicating that it could be a valuable source for future pharmacological and medical research.

The research utilized descriptive, correlation methods. The study included 139 participants, with 124 being teachers and 15 being school heads from the 15 public secondary schools in Puerto Princesa City Division. The researcher collected data from a survey questionnaire they created, the School Improvement Plan (SIP), The data was analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, weighted mean, ranking, Pearson-r correlation, and t-test methods. The results showed that the school heads’ supervisory strategies focused on enhancing instruction. They informed the teachers about the professional development opportunities that are available to them in certain areas. They frequently conducted their instructional supervision. The most popular functions were giving teachers feedback through performance assessment and evaluation that was constructive and accurate. The mentoring abilities of the school heads, along with the passive and uncooperative behavior of teachers, hindered their ability to supervise instruction effectively. The school heads’ instructional supervisory strategies were influenced by the frequency of instructional supervision provided to teachers, as they focused on developing, adopting, and implementing programs for instructional improvement, learning assessment, and teacher improvement. The research suggests that during mentorship sessions, school administrators should provide teachers with advice, specifically focusing on teaching techniques and the discovery and use of educational materials; Within the school improvement initiative, it is critical for school heads to establish or modify a program based on research. School administrators need to collaborate with expert teachers to evaluate and improve the curriculum in order to address the unique requirements of the community.
Regional Arbitration Centres for Investor Protection
Authors: Mwenda Morgan
Published: November 2024

African integration is progressively strengthening regional ties and offering new economic opportunities. However, increased integration also portends increased conflict in the nature of trade disputes and civil matters generally. This article critically analyses the extant conflict resolution mechanisms under the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Protocol, noting its strengths and weaknesses. This article identifies the lack of a private dispute resolution mechanism under the protocol, suggesting that the current institutions may fail to provide the requisite judicial security for settling trade disputes in the continent, and thereby erode gains made in integration. The state of regional arbitration institutions and their suitability as an antidote to the looming crisis is pitched as a solution. The author concludes by offering a continental framework for implementing uniformity and security through a network of regional arbitration institutions.
The Relevance of Third-Party Funding in Assessing Whether to Order Security for Costs
Authors: Chadanian Quentin
Published: November 2024

Arbitral tribunals typically allocate the costs of the arbitration at the conclusion of a case. The question has arisen as to whether the existence of third-party funding should affect the allocation of costs to the detriment of the funded claimant. Most – though not all – commercial and investment tribunals have typically held that the presence of a funder does not constitute, in and of itself, a sufficient basis to grant security for costs. However, it is accepted in both of these areas that the existence of an external funder may be a factor to be taken into consideration in deciding on a request for security for costs.
The non-emergency economic policy competence in Article 122(1) TFEU
Authors: Chamon Merijn
Published: November 2024

The Next Generation EU (NGEU) programme has sparked a major constitutional debate in EU law, with assessments ranging from approving NGEU as creative legal engineering to repudiating it as breaching EU primary law.A third approach aims to transcend the first two by qualifying NGEU as a “constitutional moment” for the EU. What most of these assessments nonetheless have in common is that they – implicitly or explicitly – qualify Article 122(1)TFEU as an emergency legal basis. This contribution challenges the idea that Article 122(1) TFEU exclusively contains an emergency legal basis and provides a textual, systemic, historic and teleological reading of that legal basis in support. While reading Article 122(1)TFEU as such would both do away with most of the constitutional objections against NGEU and allow the EU to develop its own dedicated economic policy, complementing its coordination of the Member States’ national economic policies, a risk also arises of that legal basis conferring an unchecked executive power on the Council.To counter that risk, this contribution further identifies useful safeguards, ensuring that the vertical and horizontal balances of power within the EU construct remain intact.
Energy Transition and Democratic Challenges: The Contribution of EU Law
Authors: Jaria-Manzano Jordi
Published: November 2024

The legal design of future energy systems should be inserted in a far-reaching reflection on how energy is used and distributed according to the social goals defined within the framework of an institutional arrangement interacting with technological innovation. Energy law is then not to be seen as an independent branch of public law but as a particular approach in the overall legal framing of social reproduction processes. Energy democracy should be tackled according to this mindset. It had become almost a truism to think that energy transition to a post-fossil model is as such a way to enhance democracy. However, significant boost of socio-environmental conflicts related to renewable energy facilities raise doubts about an alleged necessary relation between new sources of energy, technological innovation and increasing democratization within the framework of a more or less smooth transition.The implementation of renewable energy in the context of energy transition has opened a debate about energy democracy. However, the discussion is often centred in the acceptability of renewable energy generation projects. Energy communities provide a way to develop robust democratic practices in the energy system, addressing inequalities and exclusions and promoting democracy as a fundamental social value. EU law has incorporated these entities and, thus, provide opportunities to bridge energy systems with democratic practices according with core values of the Union, although an explicit democratic principle is not to be found in EU law, which can contribute in a significant way to achieve a profound democratization of the energy systems. This contribution would be enhanced with a more explicit assumption of the democratic principle in energy related directives.
Examining the Reasons for Impact Materiality in EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting
Authors: Mezzanotte Félix E.
Published: November 2024

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards have adhered to the principle of double materiality. This principle has two dimensions, namely financial and impact materiality, the latter being associated with a company’s obligation to report material information on the impacts of corporate activity on people and the environment. Concentrating on the impact materiality principle, this article identifies and discusses key reasons that justified its adoption. The first reason aims to foster the alignment of corporate actions with sustainable development as framed by the European Green Deal and by the Global Reporting Initiative. The second justification is found in the promotion of corporate accountability through sound corporate due diligence processes and effective impact management. Developing markets and products for sustainable investments is the third reason for the disclosure of impact-related information. The article turns to identify constraints to the success of these policy tenets, including (a) distrust in markets due to greenwashing risk, (b) challenges posed by the wide discretionary powers of corporate officers in the evaluation of impact materiality, and (c) poor quality of impact-related data.

It delves into the specific legal framework of Iran and England, exploring the differences in legal systems, and arbitration laws that influence the effectiveness of such clauses in each jurisdiction. This comparative study evaluates the enforceability and practicality of multitiered dispute resolution clauses in both countries to illustrate the application and enforcement of these clauses.The findings of this research provide valuable guidance to international businesses and legal practitioners involved in cross-border transactions. It highlights the importance of tailoring dispute resolution clauses to the specific jurisdiction and the need for a nuanced understanding of legal and cultural factors when structuring such provisions.
Director’s Fiduciary Duties and the future Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive in the Wake of English Case Law
Authors: Malecki Catherine
Published: November 2024

Climate litigation is on the rise and may raise legitimate questions. As the same issues apply in France and the United Kingdom, a highly instructive English decision provides an opportunity to present the state of play and possible improvements to French law during this period of European normative effervescence marked by constant changes, particularly for stakeholders. In such a context, a French-style Business Judgment Rule would be welcome, with commendable signals recently emerging from the OECD Guidelines on Responsible Conduct for Multinational Enterprise; in such a context, NGO shareholders can play a valuable role as “Big Sisters” if they act in the interests of society as a whole, for the benefit of all its members.
