complexity of international climate cooperation
Authors: Zepeda Claudio Andrés Téllez
Published: February 2024

Although there are several collective efforts to address the problem of climate change, the main initiatives, such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, have not shown satisfactory results so far. The difficulty in engaging states into effective coordinated cooperative practices can be explained as a consequence of neoclassical rationality, given that the characterization of states as rationality-endowed entities bound them to situations like the Prisoners' Dilemma (PD) game and its related collective action dilemmas. There are models that provide ways to circumvent PD and foster cooperation among selfish rational agents, such as the application of strategies based on reciprocity (Tit-for-Tat) in iterated games. However, these approaches do not avoid the short-sighted neoclassical rationality that lies at the root of the problem. Thus, in order to develop more productive approaches to the development of global climate change policies, I present a characterization of the international political system as a complex adaptive system (CAS) and argue that this perspective, along with models based on evolutionary games rather than iterated games, provide a more promising approach.

Authors: Pozzatti Ademar , Bastos Matheus Silva
Published: February 2024

A presente pesquisa discute a política do direito internacional a partir da inclusão da pauta ambiental nas diferentes etapas da proposta de Acordo de Livre Comércio entre o Mercosul e a União Europeia para investigar se há conflito ou complementariedade entre interesses comerciais e ambientais. A discussão sobre enviesamento estrutural, gerencialismo e indeterminação dos vocábulos jurídicos ressalta a natureza conflitual dos interesses subjacentes a proposta de Acordo e alicerça a hipótese de que há conflito de interesses na inclusão da agenda ambiental durante as negociações e também na etapa posterior, de interpretação da proposta de Acordo, enquanto o Capítulo sobre Comércio e Desenvolvimento Sustentável, presente no seu texto-base, sugeriria complementariedade de interesses. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório, com método de abordagem hipotético-dedutivo e técnica de pesquisa baseada em revisão bibliográfica e análise documental.

Social phenomena and processes are difficult to define due to their complexity. The authors propose a comprehensive approach to measure and analyze poverty and social exclusion as well as simple and complex diagnosis of that phenomena. Results of the social coherence pilot survey conducted by Polish CSO (GUS) were a base to construct and calculate multidimensional poverty, social isolation and exclusion. The greatest attention was given to discuss the synthetic index of bad life conditions. To construct the index of the social exclusion an assumption was made that social bonds "secure" in crisis situations, and their lack increases risk of the poverty and exclusion. The social exclusion was defined as a household situation which is affected by at least one of three poverty forms and at the same time is social isolated. A household was recognized as socially isolated if its members do not maintain appropriately frequent relations with the (surrounding them) outer environment.

Where and how meanings emerge

Published: February 2024

The discussion aims to identify the interpretive mechanisms that provide an interface be­tween text and context (between language and the world, language and culture, language and society). It is a multi-level system of interfaces connected by inversion and recursion relations and operations. We identify this system as a pragmasemantics. It also acts as an interface platform for correlation/transformation of intra-system semantic units and extralinguistic objects within a set of possible worlds. At the same time, this platform is endowed with the autopoietic potential to generate new operating interfaces systems, as well as textualized structures of operations and interpretations (instructions, memory, reframing). The genera­tion of meaning is the result of the interaction of the system platform with the platform-as-context, due to the possibility that one generates and determines the operational potential of the other, acting a recursive loop or Möbius strip. The connection between subjectivity and meaningful semiosis is crucially important due to the key role of textualization and langua­ging. The signified are reproduced by signifiers and thus generate those processes that are structured by interactions and other practices. In complex systems (biological and beyond), the possibility of self-replication arises through recursive self-interpretation. Thus, subjectivi­ty acts as a kind of universal interface that determines the change of contexts, their interac­tion, the generation of possible new ones, ensuring the pro-creativity and pre-adaptability of the system (its stability and development.
Vladimir Bibikhin: the connoisseur of poetry and the poet
Authors: Markov Alexander V.
Published: February 2024

The publication of «Selected Records from 1965 to 1989» has exposed the reader to poetry of Vladimir Bibikhin’s poetry as a key to understanding the patterns of culture. In these rec­ords, Bibikhin discussed the formation of the canons of national poetry and its peculiarities. In his poetry, Bibikhin emulated the poetic style and essence of Russian poetry, surrounded by the aura of myth and replacing moralistic content with existential themes. These poems delved into the ethical-metaphysical question of how presence in existence is possible without arro­gance or violation of the rights of others. Bibikhin reflected on the relationship between poetry and prose during the formation of national literatures. He insists on the non-conditionality of the distribution of forms of poetry and poetic expression, political construction as a source of the national language, and the role of bodily movements, such as walking, running, and swimming. The exploration of these movements, discovered during the implementation of a cultural and missionary national programme, gives rise to both stable forms of verse and new genre-thematic complexes. The Records demonstrate how poetry allowed the poet to unveil the underside of the myth of the poet, revealing the role of conceptualizations in the development of creative individuality and the associated rhythm. A comprehensive examination of Bibikhin's expertise in verse and his poetry addresses several related questions: how late Sovi­et independent philosophy initially interpreted cultural creativity, not predetermined but aimed at the formation of universal social organization; how hermeneutic efforts were directed towards metacritique of social rituals; and how composing verses helped explain the regulari­ties of text interpretation in different periods, thus elucidating the specificity of pivotal epochs in culture as eras of problematizing this interpretation.
Analysis and translation of the Old English poem Instructions for Christians in the context of the Christian tradition
Authors: Proskurina Anna V.
Published: February 2024

An Old English poem, preserved in a copy of the 12th century, Instructions for Chris­tians, consisting of 265 lines, is considered through the prism of the explication of the theme of moral instructions in the Old English tradition. The poem, along with other Old English sermons and Christian poems, represents the suggestion of moral rules regarding early Chris­tian life, being a set of orders for believers. This article provides the author's translation of the contexts of the poem Instructions for Christians. The problem of studying the phenomenon of instructions and the representation of the indisputable position of faith in the ancient culture of the Anglo-Saxons is posed. The overall goal and objectives of the study determine the com­plex nature of the traditional methods used for philological analysis of texts and the semiotic approach to texts. The analysis of the Old English text showed the interweaving of plots of the Old and New Testaments, reflecting opposing views on poverty and wealth, sacrifices, acts of gift and exchange. Issues related to the deeds of the Old Testament prophets and the New Testament Apostle Paul are highlighted in the context of the analyzed material. The work provides a list of variant addresses to God which are used in the poem, which indicates a de­veloped Christian tradition in the Old English period, and also notes the direct name of the devil, which is usually absent in the texts of this period.

Towards 1900, due to its ethnic homogeneity, its geostrategic position and its role during some events from the previous decades, Oltenia had reached within the Romanian collective perception a specific position: the hardcore of the national identity and the hinterland of resistance. On the contrary, Dobruja, which, after more than four centuries of Ottoman domination, had become, since 1878, the object of a Romanian-Bulgarian dispute, had always been an invasion corridor and an area of extraordinary ethno-cultural mixing. This article briefly presents the link between these two Romanian provinces throughout the period 1878-1940, considering the role of Oltenia in the plans and actions of the Romanian state aimed at defending or consolidating its sovereignty in Dobruja. Thus, Oltenia was a key-area for Romanian military operations planned against Bulgaria, cause of the 'Dobrujan Issue', and the strategic interdependence between the two provinces was highlighted in both the 1913 and 1916 military campaigns. Also, many ethnic Romanians from Oltenia were granted land in Northern Dobruja (after 1878) and in Southern Dobruja (during the interwar period). Lastly, the final settlement of the Romanian-Bulgarian dispute over Dobruja, through the bilateral treaty from 7th of September 1940, is linked to Craiova, the metropolis of Oltenia.

In order to illustrate the unity between tradition and contemporaneity in the linguistic research of the University of Craiova, the present article suggests a review of the concerns regarding the linguistic field, as it results from the analysis of the history of the academic publication The Annals of the University of Craiova. Philological Sciences Series. Linguistics.
In our approach we have started from the articles published in the issues of the old series of the magazine and we continued with the ones published since 1996, when the new series of the well-known publication under the aegis of the University of Craiova was launched.
The old series of the magazine was published in 1972 (with Pavel Țugui as editor-in-chief) under the name of The Annals of the University of Craiova. Philology Series, History, Georgaphy. It was published under this title until 1975, when it was separated from the other two fields, the Philological Sciences series being published separately, in 17x24 cm format.
In 1996, after more than twenty years, the publication is resumed under the title The Annals of the University of Craiova. Philological Sciences Series. Linguistics. The new series is edited by the Faculty of Letters of the University of Craiova and it is characterized by a well-defined linguistic profile.

After the achievement of the 1918 Great Union, the Romanians were called to support the country’s economic recovery and to follow a path for the consolidation of the state, for reform and unification. A problem that our country was concerned with immediately after the achievement of political unity, was that of legislative unification. In the field of public law, the 1923 Constitution, the Judicial Organization Law of 25 June 1924, the Administrative Unification Law of 13 June 1925, and numerous other laws succeeded in gradually achieving the legislative unification indispensable to a powerful state. In the field of private law, the problem remained open for a long time, even if there were concerns, attempts and meritorious results in this direction. The provisional preservation in force of local legislation in the annexed provinces, justified in a first stage, led to numerous problems over time and inevitably affected the confidence in the judiciary and the prestige of the law. The unification of the civil legislation of Bessarabia, achieved by expanding the Civil Code of Alexandru Ioan Cuza in 1928, was and remains remarkable.

Topological analysis of multiple tables
Authors: Abdesselam Rafik
Published: February 2024

The paper proposes a topological approach in order to explore several data tables simultaneously. These data tables of quantitative and/or qualitative variables measured on different homogeneous themes, collected from the same individuals. This approach, called topological analysis of multiple tables (TAMT), is based on the notion of neighborhood graphs in the context of a joint analysis of several data tables. It allows the simultaneous study of possible links between several thematic tables. The structure of the correlations or associations of the variables in each thematic table is analyzed according to quantitative, qualitative or mixed variables considered. Like the multiple factorial analysis (MFA), the TAMT allows several tables of variables to be analyzed simultaneously, and to obtain results, in particular graphical representations, which make it possible to study the relationship between individuals, variables and tables of data. These can also be tables of temporal data, collected at different times on the same individuals. The proposed TAMT approach is illustrated using real data associated with several and different homogeneous themes. Its results are compared to those from the MFA method.

Published: February 2024

Forensic Age Estimation in migrant minors without family reference is a developing field within forensic sciences. The international and national action guides recommend for this expert reports the practice of multiplanar medical imaging studies, more precisely computed tomography, of the proximal end of the clavicle. This type of test is reserved for those cases in which a possible majority of the supposedly minor cannot be ruled out by other methods. This diagnostic test has peculiarities derived from its relative complexity of interpretation and the relatively high frequency of appearance of developmental anomalies that make it difficult to apply it as a test of expert value. This review aims to be an update of the state of the art in this field of expertise with a special focus on its expert value and the impact generated by the aforementioned anomalies in its practical application.

The article examines the international legal prohibitions on the commission of genocide established by the international fundamental principles of jus cogens, examines the correlation of such international fundamental principles as the right of peoples to self-determination and the inviolability of borders. It describes the content of the
lawsuits in the case “Armenia vs Azerbaijan”, which were filed by Armenia to the International Court of Justice of the United Nations, with a request for the application of temporary measures to protect the rights of residents of NagornoKarabakh, enshrined in the “International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination”. The legal analysis of the principle of universal jurisdiction is carried out. The author substantiates the possibility of applying universal jurisdiction in cases of crimes of genocide and provides examples of the judicial practice of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), as well as the courts of Israel, Denmark, Bavaria (Germany), Rotterdam, The Hague (Netherlands), Lausanne (Switzerland), Great Britain. The article analyzes the international legal and organizational problems of bringing to criminal responsibility representatives of the military and political leadership of Azerbaijan for
committing the crime of genocide of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh. Due to the fact that currently it is possible to bring to justice representatives of the military and political leadership of another State only at the international
level, the possibility of accepting the investigation of crimes against the peace and security of mankind, including the crime of genocide, by both the ICC and the national court of another State is being considered.

Published: February 2024

This research explores the transformative potential of multimedia messaging in development communication campaigns, with a focus on its impact on social change. As technology continues to advance, multimedia integration, encompassing elements such as text, images, audio, and video, has become a powerful tool for conveying messages and influencing behaviour. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and implications of incorporating multimedia into development communication initiatives. The paper examines various multimedia formats utilized in social change campaigns and assesses their influence on target audiences. By reviewing existing literature and case studies the study aims to identify patterns, challenges, and success factors associated with multimedia messaging. Additionally, attention is given to the role of digital platforms and social media in amplifying the reach and engagement of multimedia campaigns. Key considerations include the cognitive and emotional impact of multimedia messages, audience receptivity, and the potential for behaviour change. The research also investigates ethical considerations related to multimedia communication in the context of social change, addressing issues such as cultural sensitivity, inclusivity, and the potential for unintended consequences. Findings from this research will contribute valuable insights to the field of development communication, guiding practitioners, and researchers in optimizing the design and implementation of multimedia messaging strategies for effective social change. The overarching goal is to enhance our understanding of the dynamic interplay between multimedia communication and its ability to drive positive societal transformations.

Promotores físicos y químicos en la eliminación de latencia en zacate Buffel (Cenchrus ciliaris L.)
Authors: Velázquez-López Miguel Ángel , Vásquez-Siller Leila Minea
Published: February 2024

Las semillas del zacate Buffel (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) poseen características físicas y fisiológicas que hacen difícil su germinación debido a que presentan estructuras que impiden el contacto entre la cariópside y el agua, además de que generan sustancias químicas conocidas como compuestos fenólicos, metabolitos secundarios que limitan su germinación. Esta investigación se llevó a cabo para determinar un método que rompa la latencia de la semilla de zacate Buffel, y para evaluar su respuesta fisiológica con la aplicación de ácido giberélico (AG3) y temperaturas alternas, y con su combinación. El estudio se realizó en en el laboratorio del Centro de Capacitación y Desarrollo de Tecnología de Semillas. El efecto de estos tratamientos se estimó mediante un ensayo de germinación a través de las variables: plántulas normales, plántulas anormales y semillas sin germinar; también se evaluó el vigor de las semillas a través de las variables: longitud media de plúmula, longitud media de radícula e índice de velocidad de germinación. Los mejores resultados se obtuvieron en las variables plántulas normales con 31%, al aplicar AG3 a una concentración de 750 ppm, y menor porcentaje de semillas sin germinar con 68%; se obtuvo, además, un índice de velocidad de germinación de 0.921, el cual fue el mejor. En cuanto a la variable longitud media de plúmula, se obtuvo mejor desarrollo al aplicar temperaturas alternas más AG3, a una con centración de 750 ppm, con una longitud de 7.050 cm, en contraste con el testigo sin tratamiento, que tuvo una longitud de 3.925 cm para las variables plántulas anormales y longitud media de radícula. Los resultados demuestran que no hubo diferencias significativas entre tratamientos. El ácido giberélico a una concentración de 750 ppm promovió la germinación en menor tiempo, en un periodo de 28 días y eliminó la latencia, pero al combinarlo con temperaturas alternas a 4° C durante 8 horas y a 35° C durante 16 horas, se tuvo mayor longitud de plúmula.

Published: February 2024

Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) determine the level of food production, sustainability of agriculture productivity, and global environmental conditions. GAP has greatly increased the supply of food to meet global demand and has had a negative impact on the environment, and ecosystem services are calling for the need for more sustainable agricultural systems. The purpose of reviewing the paper is to determine how good agricultural practices will be the best requirements for sustainable agriculture and the food chain. Additionally, this study explains how agro-forestry can be a highly effective means of ensuring agricultural sustainability by improving soil fertility, providing a more diverse range of crop production options, and enhancing the economic and social aspects of agriculture. To accomplish this, especially in developing nations, it is crucial to comprehend the many advantages of agro-forestry and to grow the system. This is because maintaining life on earth depends on improved soil fertility and food security
Kekosongan Hukum Terhadap Sosialisasi Pemilihan Legislatif Dan Pemilihan Presiden Yang Berkedok Kampanye

Published: February 2024

Abstract:

Indonesia has undergone various stages in the development of its democracy, one of which is the General Election. The phenomenon that has emerged today is the lack of clarity in the law regarding the socialization of legislative and presidential elections, which is sometimes disguised as campaign activities. The existing legal vacuum results in a lack of supervision over this kind of outreach, which can affect the integrity of elections and make it difficult for the public to differentiate between outreach and campaign activities. This research uses normative legal research methods, which explore and analyze applicable legal norms, including the Election Law and related regulations, as well as examining related cases that have been held previously. The research results show that the KPU plays a role in regulating and supervising the implementation of elections, including supervising campaign and outreach activities that have the potential to damage the rules. Bawaslu, as an independent monitoring institution, has an important role in monitoring violations during the election process, including in terms of socialization disguised as a campaign. The results of the second research, in order to strengthen democracy and election integrity, joint efforts by the KPU and Bawaslu to supervise socialization are essential to maintain a legitimate and fair election process. Regional governments, as implementers of elections at the local level, must also play a role in supervising socialization in their areas. Installing an APK under the guise of APS is a violation of Regional Regulations so that the regional institution executing it is the Civil Service Police Unit, where controlling socialization props that are considered illegal or violating can be carried out according to the authority of the institution concerned referring to the Regional Regulation. With this joint effort, we can minimize the potential for legal vacuum and promote an election process that is transparent, fair, and in accordance with democratic principles.

La propuesta catalana para gravar las emisiones del transporte marítimo: ¿una nueva oleada de impuestos propios?
Authors: Salassa Boix Rodolfo
Published: February 2024

Maritime transport is essential for the economy, transporting people and goods in a massive and efficient way, but it is also a growing and varied source of pollution. Considering that nowadays taxes on shipping emissions are very unusual at international, State, and regional level, but that at the same time there is a growing international concern about this pollutant source, our purpose is to analyze the feasibility of the Catalan initiative that proposes to implement a tax on port emissions from large ships. The paper concludes that, although it is true that the Catalan tax proposal present some negative points, we can say that it constitutes an important step for the development of environmental taxation in the protection of health and biodiversity and that it will surely serve as a model for other Autonomous Communities.

El transporte marítimo es esencial para la economía, transportando personas y bienes de una manera masiva y eficiente, pero también constituye una creciente y variada fuente de polución. Considerando que hoy en día son prácticamente inexistentes los tributos sobre las emisiones provenientes de los barcos, tanto a nivel internacional, estatal y autonómico, pero que al mismo tiempo se aprecia una creciente preocupación internacional por esta fuente contaminante, nuestro objetivo es analizar la viabilidad de la iniciativa catalana que propone implementar un impuesto propio a las emisiones portuarias de los grandes barcos. El trabajo concluye afirmando que, si bien es cierto que la propuesta impositiva catalana presenta algunos puntos negativos, podemos decir que constituye un paso importante para el desarrollo de la fiscalidad ambiental en la protección de la salud y la biodiversidad y que seguramente servirá de modelo para otras Comunidades Autónomas.

Cancer in pregnancy is rare, and most physicians lack knowledge in handling pregnant cancer patients. This review summarises the present knowledge on this condition. In the Netherlands, an Advisory Board on Cancer in Pregnancy was established in 2012. The board supports Dutch physicians’ decisions in the management of pregnant patients with cancer. In 2021 the International Advisory Board on Cancer in Pregnancy was established, and in continuation, the Danish Advisory Board on Cancer in Pregnancy (DABCIP) has now been founded. DABCIP consists of 22 members from 13 different medical disciplines.

Chronic fistulas are a dreaded complication to surgery. They are often persistent to treatment and involve several negative side effects and a significant reduction in quality of life. We present a case report of a 36-year-old male with a deep chronic fistula in the pelvis after pouch surgery. More than 60 procedures were performed under general anaesthesia without treatment effect. Through a multidisciplinary approach a complete rectum extirpation and reconstruction with a free latissimus dorsi flap was performed. The patient was seen at followup 18 months after the surgery; pain free and without relapse.
Metastasis from sarcoma with intracranial component referred on suspicion of lipoma or benign cyst
Authors: Mughal Hamza Abrar
Published: February 2024

This case report presents a 69-year-old male patient with a subcutaneous tumour in the left parietal region. Initially, the tumour was identified as a lipoma or benign cyst by the general practitioner. However, a subsequent MRI scan revealed a sarcoma metastasis with a significant intracranial component. Radical excision of the tumour was not possible due to its critical localisation. Therefore, the patient received palliative radiotherapy. This case emphasises the importance of accurate clinical assessment and highlights the clinical features that should lead to suspicion of malignancy.
