Loss of the Right to Challenge the Transaction by the Person Who Consented to the Transaction
Authors:   Samara National Research University named after Academician S. P. Korolev, Samara, Russia, Povarov Yuri S.
Published: November 2024

Application of the requirements of Article 173.1 (§ 3) of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (which has not yet become the object of close attention in science) is associated with some interpretive difficulties. In this regard, a comprehensive analysis of the construct enshrined in the specified norm, aimed at healing a voidable transaction (in a situation of unfair inconsistency in the behavior of the subject of consent), becomes relevant, first of all, from the perspective of its conceptual basis, scope, conditions and consequences of application, as well as in terms of the relationship with the related institution of confirmation of a contested transaction by its party (Article 166 (§ 2) of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). The methodological basis of the study was made up of general theoretical (formal and dialectical logic) and specific scientific (legal-dogmatic, comparative legal, interpretation of legal norms, etc.) methods. As a result, the author, in particular, supports the dogmatic position regarding the confinement of the construction of the loss of the right to challenge transactions only to situations of their contestability (pointing out that to reflect this common-sense idea, the rule on the inadmissibility of challenging a transaction is sufficient); comes to the conclusion about the rationality of the “universal” use of the rehabilitation mecha­nism in question (irrespective of the type of act introducing the licensing procedure for the transaction); substantiates the thesis that of Article 173.1 (§ 3) of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation implies the defeat of the right to challenge a transaction that requires third-party authorization, and not consent itself; proves the legality of invalidating consent on the basis of which the subject of its expression knew or should have known (since there is no direct correlation between the defectiveness of consent and the contestability of the transaction itself), and also defends the possibility of extending the rules of Article 166 (§ 2) of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on confirmation of a transaction for consent.

У статті наведено проведені лабораторні та доклінічні дослідження розробленого нами мікробіологічного препарату. Визначено його антибактеріальні властивості за різних концентрацій бактеріоцину нізину. У якості тест-культур в лабораторних дослідженнях антимікробної активності використовували різні концентрації таких штамів мікроорганізмів як Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria ivanovii, Yersinia enterocolitica. Механізм біологічної дії бактеріоцинів пов’язаний, насамперед, із порушенням цитоплазматичних мембран чутливих до них мікроорганізмів. Бактеріоцини на відміну від антибіотиків, що діють досить вибірково, впливають і на резистентні до антибіотиків штами мікроорганізмів, повністю розщеплюються і виводяться з організму. Бактеріоцин нізин продукується штамом мікроорганізмів Lactococcus lactis, володіє антибактеріальними властивостями проти широкого спектру патогенних мікроорганізмів, використовується у якості консерванту в харчовій промисловості. Молочна кислота за застосування всередину володіє протибродильною, антисептичною, подразнюючою дією. Пригнічує ріст і розвиток умовно патогенної і гнильної мікрофлори шлунково-кишкового тракту, стимулює процес відновлення кишкових ворсинок, що збільшує поверхню всмоктування поживних речовин. Випробування другого дослідного зразку на мишах оказало, що препарат не спричиняв місцево-подразнюючої, шкірно-резорбтивної та сенсибілізуючої дії, не викликав клінічних змін та порушень в роботі систем органів мишей. Розроблений і випробуваний препарат є перспективним для здійснення корекції ендомікрофлори травного каналу тварин, в тому числі за органічного вирощування, найбільш перспективними, на нашу думку, є саме препарати мікробіологічного походження.

The active development of production has a negative impact on the environment. Millions of cubic meters of forest are cut down annualy for production needs. These volumes need to be restored. Therefore, research in the field of reforestation is relevant and important. The aim of this study has been to evaluate the technology of rooting coniferous trees during summer grafting. Various terms of green cuttings of coniferous trees of the Pinaceae family were considered, common representatives in the region (Pinus sylvestris L., Picea obovata Ledeb., Picea obovata var. coerulea Malyschev, Pinus sibirica Du Tour) have been considered. The cuttings have been harvested in four terms, starting from the 3rd ten-day-period of June to the end of July. The grafting has been carried out in different conditions: in a green house with a fog plant and a climate chamber with manual watering. Several methods have been used to prepare the cuttings for planting: with and without needle removing on the lower part of the cutting. Before planting, the tested cuttings have been treated with the root formation preparation “Kornevin” (control grop – without treatment). As a result of the study, the optimal time for grafting coniferous trees for the Baikal region has been determined as the 3rd ten-day-period of June and July. The minimum rooting period for the cuttings has been figured out as 155 days. It has been noted that the cuttings whose lower part needles have not been removed, have taken root faster. Their rooting share is 10 % higher. The best rooting rate has been recorded in cuttings obtained from the plants Picea obovata Ledeb. and P. obovata var. coerulea Malyschev – 22–30%. The cuttings from Pinus sylvestris L. and P. sibirica Du Tour have a very low rooting share – less than 1 %. To determine the quality of rooting, biometric indicators of the formed roots have been obtained. The cuttings planted in the 3rd ten-day-period of June in cultivation beds with regulated fogging are characterized by powerful roots.

The growth peculiarities of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) have been studied by the example of an even-aged pine stand of high density. A long-term research has been conducted on a permanent sample plot. The data has been collected from the stand aged from 37 to 55 years. The characteristics of individual trees and the entire stand during the growth period in the absence of external influences (cutting, windfalls, pest damage, etc.) and after improvement cuttings have been analyzed. The influence of the amount of resource available to a tree on the formation of crowns, root systems and stem wood has been investigated. The size of the available resource has been the square of the dominance area. The root system of the pine trees of the studied stands is compact in size and, despite the high stand density, due to the high content of nutrients in the soil and the absence of moisture deficiency, it sufficiently ensures intensive tree growth corresponding to the conditions of the I quality class. It has been found that under these conditions, the average area of the root system is proportional to the average square of the dominance area. It has been shown that the stem diameter at a height of 1.3 m in the absence of external influences significantly depends on the square of the dominance area. The correlation coefficient of these indicators for the studied stand at the age of 37 is 0.89. The influence of cuttings on annual radial increment has been studied using dendrochronology methods. It has been revealed that in the year following the cutting, it has increased by 1.3–2.0 times, depending on the increase in the square of the dominance area. A method has been proposed for calculating the competition coefficient as a share of the resource required for the free growth of a tree, which is redistributed between its closest neighbours. Long-term observations have shown that with competition coefficients exceeding 0.6–0.7, the stem diameter increment rate decreases significantly, and the trees develop a sparse crown extending less than 40 % of the tree height. This, in turn, leads to growth retardation and a transition to a depressed state. This, in turn, leads to growth retardation and a transition to a depressed state.

Language background and language self-assessment of Spanish-Swedish public service interpreters in Sweden
Authors: Thomsen Thomas
Published: November 2024

Advanced language proficiency is a requirement for public service interpreting, and yet, research has not described this construct holistically in interpreting studies. Previous studies have suggested that public service interpreters primarily have a migration background, and asymmetrical language proficiency. The present study reports findings of these aspects from a questionnaire that was conducted to investigate the linguistic background of Spanish-Swedish public service interpreters in Sweden. A total of 118 Spanish-Swedish interpreters answered the questionnaire. Results show that the interpreters have asymmetrical language proficiency but do not primarily have a migration background. Moreover, it is indicated that asymmetrical language proficiency and migration background have an impact on the likelihood of public service interpreters being state authorized. However, there is a need for further research on these aspects to better understand details regarding both public service interpreters in Sweden and public service interpreters internationally.

The usefulness of the research results is expected to contribute to the understanding of solving issues related to the analysis of factors affecting customer loyalty and can be used as a consideration for the companies studied in taking corrective steps for the future. It can also be used as an evaluation material in determining future company strategies. Financial ratio analysis is a part of business or risk prospect analysis for decision-making purposes by evaluating the business environment, strategy, and the company's financial position and performance. The financial statement analyses commonly used by companies include liquidity analysis, solvency analysis, and profitability analysis. Liquidity analysis provides insights into a company's ability to match short-term liabilities maturing with current assets. The liquidity ratio owned by the company can be used as an evaluation material and for the effectiveness of company management. Based on these issues, the author conducted research on "Liquidity Ratio Analysis in Meeting Obligations in Trading Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange" using annual financial reports for the period 2020-2022. The data analysis technique in this study uses descriptive analysis by collecting data, classifying data, explaining, and analyzing to provide clear information and insights into the issues being researched. The results of the study show the liquidity ratio in measuring the ability of short-term debt of trading companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020-2022, including PT. Bintang Oto Global Tbk, PT. Midi Utama Indonesia Tbk, PT. Wicaksana Overseas International Tbk, PT. Modern International Tbk, and PT. Perdana Bangun Pusaka Tbk. Viewed from the current ratio of 42.22% < 75%, it is categorized as unhealthy, meaning the hypothesis taken is that the company is unable to meet short-term debt obligations with the liquidity ratio. The quick ratio of 286.69% and the cash ratio of 181.31% > 150% are categorized as very healthy, thus the hypothesis taken is that the company is able to meet short-term debt obligations with the liquidity ratio.

Published: November 2024

The superconducting properties of 85 nm thick hafnium thin films with a 5 nm thick titanium layer on top have been investigated for three different geometries, that is, a film covering the entire 7 × 7 mm2 chip surface, bridges with a width of 200 μm and length up to 1800 μm, and bridges in the form of squares with sides from 100 to 1000 μm. The bridges were formed by a photolithographic lift-off process and are intended to be used as the main sensing element of a microcalorimeter based on a transition-edge sensor (TES) in experiments to determine the magnetic moment of neutrinos. Based on the measurements of the critical current, the critical temperature, and the width of the superconducting transition, we estimate the energy resolution δE of the TES prototypes, showing that it is possible to fabricate microcalorimeters with δE less than 1 eV using these films.
Synthesis of tricarbonylated propargylamine and conversion to 2,5-disubstituted oxazole-4-carboxylates

Published: November 2024

The N,O-acetal derived from diethyl mesoxalate (DEMO) undergoes elimination of acetic acid upon treatment with a base, leading to the formation of N-acylimine in situ. Lithium acetylide readily attacks the imino group to afford N,1,1-tricarbonylated propargylamines. When the resulting propargylamine reacts with butyllithium, ring closure occurs between the ethynyl and carbamoyl groups, yielding 2,5-disubstituted oxazole-4-carboxylates. This cyclization also occurs when the propargylamine is heated with ammonium acetate, resulting in double activation.

Published: November 2024

This research discusses the 11 media trustworthiness indicators initiated by the Indonesian Cyber Media Association (AMSI), their correlation with micro-level media dependency based on the media dependency theory by Sandra Ball-Rokeach and Melvin DeFleur. The dynamics of the current media-audience relationship have prompted researcher to examine how discourse on these indicators impacts media dependency amid a plethora of information sources and uncertainties. However, this research is limited to micro levels of dependency. Previous studies have depicted media dependency in society as per its applications. Yet, viewing trustworthy media indicators as a crucial factor in media dependency and its effects remains limited. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore and theoretically define the implications of these trustworthy news indicators. This is a qualitative study using a library research design and textual analysis of secondary data. The results, trustworthy news indicators have the potential to significantly influence current media dependency. The media dependency factors in the media-individual relationship shows that news trust indicators enhance the media's ability to be a reliable information source and meet audience needs. These indicators impact media dependency effects, such as the cognitive aspect to strengthen the audience's ability to critically evaluate information, the affective aspect to foster positive emotions, and the behavioral aspect to guide audience behavior in news consumption. This research can offer recommendations for media in future decision-making, provide a public framework for determining positive media dependency, and serve as a theoretical foundation for further research related to trustworthy news indicators.
