Published: November 2023

Sign language has become a very important means of communication for individuals with hearing loss, allowing them to interact with people who are not hearing impaired. In recent years, virtual reality (VR) technology has advanced rapidly, opening up new opportunities to enhance the user experience in various situations. This study aims to design and develop an easy-to-use virtual reality-based interactive sign language application. The software development method used is the Software Life Cycle Development Method (MDLC), which includes the stages of analysis, design, implementation and testing. This app is designed to run on affordable and popular VR devices to make it accessible to as many individuals as possible. In the development process, we conducted an analysis of various sign languages used globally, focusing on hand gestures and facial expressions which have an important role in sign language communication. Users can learn and practice sign language through interactive experiences in a virtual environment that mimics real-life situations. This application is also equipped with visual and audio feedback features to help users improve and hone their skills. At the testing stage, this application was evaluated through trials involving participants with diverse backgrounds in the use of sign language. The test results show that users feel involved in the VR experience and experience increased confidence in using sign language after using this application. This research proves that VR technology can be an effective tool in sign language learning and development. Thus, the virtual reality-based sign language application that has been designed and developed in this study makes a significant contribution in increasing the accessibility of communication for individuals with hearing impairments. The implications of this research can be the basis for further development in the field of sign language and VR technology.
The Martyred Duchess
Authors: Anderson David K.
Published: November 2023

Focusing largely on act IV, scene ii, this article discusses the persecution, suffering and death of Webster’s Duchess alongside passages from John Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. Foxe’s martyrology was one of the most important books in post-Reformation England, both reflecting and encouraging a crisis of conscience in the culture over acts of religious violence. I argue that there are subtle but significant correspondences between the victimization and death of Foxe’s martyrs and of the Duchess: Ferdinand’s conception of her as an infection to be cleansed, his attempt to isolate her in death from a sense of participation in her family and the world (which she successfully resists), her composure in the face of despair, and her portrayal as one who bears great suffering with dignity, rather than either being broken by it or transcending it.
Courtly banter in The Duchess of Malfi (iii.ii.1-57): not “so merry”
Authors: Valls-Russell Janice
Published: November 2023

Situated midway through the play in the Duchess’s bedchamber, act III scene ii is the fulcrum of The Duchess of Malfi. The Duchess enters the scene and her bedchamber a free woman, she leaves it a virtual prisoner. Coming after two acts that have covered several years since the beginning of the play, this intense night scene unfolds in a swift succession of sequences, all revolving around the Duchess. This essay focuses on the first sequence, a domestic, seemingly light-hearted moment (lines 1-57) that brings together the Duchess, her husband, Antonio, and her maid, Cariola. Looking at the use of courtly rhetoric in a scene framed by references to personal appearance (jewellery and hairdo), this article suggests that the impression of happiness and the tropes of a wooing scene are undermined by a sense of displacement and inappropriateness. John Webster draws on recognisable codes to subvert them: the mythological references and conventions of courtly discourse are there, but in the wrong place. Words, props and gestures are transformed and distorted.
“A little point, a kind of nothing”: the final scene (v.v) of The Duchess of Malfi
Authors: Whitworth Charles
Published: November 2023

The final scenes of Elizabethan tragedies often serve as résumés of the preceding action and dominant image patterns in the play. Webster’s relatively short (120 lines) final scene in The Duchess of Malfi not only brings the fatal dénouement, with the violent deaths of the main villains –Ferdinand, the Cardinal, Bosola – but also the culmination in a series of reductive images –blackness, emptiness, mist, “a kind of nothing” – of the extremely rich and complex image texture of the entire play. It is Bosola, purveyor of so many images of corruption, mortality and nihilism throughout the play, who voices these ultimate, extreme visions of the eternal void. And Delio, the “normal” man, entrusted with the play’s closing lines, can only resort to an image of melting and utter annihilation.
Spectacle and Female Power: The Duchess of Malfi in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
Authors: Karim-Cooper Farah
Published: November 2023

In 2014, Dominic Dromgoole’s production of The Duchess of Malfi offered the Globe an opportunity to explore the ways in which theatrical intimacy, early modern lighting technology and dramaturgical spectacle could exploit and unearth the performance and meaning-making potential of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Webster’s play raises theatrical challenges that the new indoor playhouse could feasibly and creatively test. This article examines the ways in which the theatrical viability of the Playhouse architecture, its aesthetics and the special effects it enables raised the dramaturgical and thematic stakes of Webster’s most famous tragedy and one of drama’s most famous heroines.
A Smart Helmet Framework Based on Visual-Inertial SLAM and Multi-Sensor Fusion to Improve Situational Awareness and Reduce Hazards in Mountaineering
Authors: Tan Charles Shi
Published: November 2023

Sensitivity to surrounding circumstances is essential for the safety of mountain scrambling. In this paper, the authors present a smart helmet prototype equipped with visual SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) and barometer multi-sensor fusion (MSF), IMU (inertial measurement unit), omnidirectional camera, and global navigation satellite system (GNSS). They equipped the helmet framework with SLAM to produce 3D semi-dense pointcloud environment maps, which are then discretized into grids. Then, the novel danger metrics they proposed were calculated for each grid based on surface normal analysis. The A* algorithm was applied to generate safe and reliable paths based on minimizing the danger score. This proposed helmet system demonstrated robust performance in mapping mountain environments and planning safe, efficient traversal paths for climbers navigating treacherous mountain landscapes.
Gatekeeper Networks, Knowledge Inertia, and Knowledge Performance in Business Incubators
Authors: Wu Wenqing , Zhai Minhan , Liu Jiayue , Huang Xuang
Published: November 2023

Business incubators can provide network connection to incubatees, allowing incubatees to acquire many resources. Gatekeepers can facilitate the acquisition of external knowledge and the dissemination of internal knowledge. From gatekeepers' characteristics, business incubator managers perfectly fit the role of gatekeepers. This paper introduces the gatekeeper role in business incubators to analyze business incubator knowledge performance (BIKP). Multi-agent simulation model is used to form the gatekeeper network, and the business incubator manager acting as the gatekeeper has the function of breadth intervention and depth intervention for the incubatees. The results indicate that moderate competition is necessary for incubatees. Second, the gatekeeper's depth intervention is better than breadth intervention. Third, there is the horizontally S-shaped relationship between the level of effort of the gatekeeper's depth intervention and the BIKP in equilibrium. Moreover, the gatekeeper's interventions are optimal when incubatees have high knowledge inertia and low rates of mutual learning.
Rational homotopy via Sullivan models and enriched Lie algebras
Authors: Félix Yves , Halperin Steve
Published: November 2023

Rational homotopy theory originated in the late 1960s and the early 1970s with the simultaneous but distinct approaches of Quillen (1969), Sullivan (1977) and Bousfield–Kan (1972). Each approach associated to a path connected space

X

an “algebraic object”

A

which is then used to construct a rational completion of

X

,

X \to X_{\mathbb Q}

. These constructions are homotopy equivalent for simply connected CW complexes of finite type, in which case

H_*(X_{\mathbb Q})\cong H_*(X)\otimes \mathbb Q

and

\pi_*(X_{\mathbb Q}) \cong \pi_*(X)\otimes \mathbb Q

. Otherwise, they may be different; in fact, Quillen’s construction is only available for simply connected spaces.

In this review, discussion is limited to Sullivan’s completions, and the notation

X\to X_{\mathbb Q}

is reserved for these. We briefly review the construction, and follow that with a review of developments and examples over the subsequent decades, but often without the proofs. Since the explicit form of Sullivan’s completion has lent itself to a wide variety of applications in a range of fields, this survey will necessarily be modest in scope.

The diagonal of cellular spaces and effective algebro-homotopical constructions
Authors: Medina-Mardones Anibal M.
Published: November 2023

In this survey article we discuss certain homotopy coherent enhancements of the coalgebra structure on cellular chains defined by an approximation to the diagonal. Over the rational numbers,

C_\infty

-coalgebra structures control the

\mathbb{Q}

-complete homotopy theory of spaces, and over the integers,

E_\infty

-coalgebras provide an appropriate setting to model the full homotopy category. Effective constructions of these structures, the focus of this work, carry geometric and combinatorial information which has found applications in various fields including deformation theory, higher category theory, and condensed matter physics.
Interaction between vitamin E intake and a COMT gene variant on colorectal cancer risk among Korean adults: a case-control study
Authors: Jun Shinyoung , Gunathilake Madhawa , Lee Jeonghee , Oh Jae Hwan , Chang Hee Jin , Sohn Dae Kyung , Shin Aesun , Kim Jeongseon
Published: November 2023

OBJECTIVES: Previous human trials have not supported the anticarcinogenic effect of vitamin E despite biological plausibility and considerable epidemiological evidence. A possible explanation for this inconsistency is the interactive effect of the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene and supplemental vitamin E on cancer. We examined whether a COMT gene variant modulates the effect of dietary vitamin E intake on colorectal cancer (CRC) risk.METHODS: In this case-control study of Korean adults (975 cases and 975 age- and sex-matched controls), dietary vitamin E density (mg/1,000 kcal) was measured using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire, COMT single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs740603 (A>G) was genotyped, and CRC was verified histologically. We estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using unconditional logistic regression models with adjustments for potential confounders.RESULTS: Higher vitamin E density was associated with a lower risk of CRC (highest vs. lowest quartiles: OR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.55 to 0.96; p-for-trend=0.002). When stratified by COMT SNP rs740603 genotype, the inverse association between vitamin E density and CRC risk was confined to those with at least 1 A allele (≥median vs. <median: OR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.51 to 0.78). The interaction between rs740603 and vitamin E density was significant (p-for-interaction=0.020). No direct association was observed between COMT SNP rs740603 and CRC risk (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.83 to 1.41).CONCLUSIONS: Our findings support a role for a genetic polymorphism in COMT in modifying the association between dietary vitamin E intake and CRC.

Published: November 2023

Cancer seriously endangers human health. Gastrointestinal cancer is the most common and major malignant tumor, and its morbidity and mortality are gradually increasing. Although there are effective treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy for gastrointestinal tumors, they are often accompanied by serious side effects. According to the traditional Chinese medicine and food homology theory, many materials are both food and medicine. Moreover, food is just as capable of preventing and treating diseases as medicine. Medicine and food homologous herbs not only have excellent pharmacological effects and activities but also have few side effects. As a typical medicinal herb with both medicinal and edible uses, some components of ginger have been shown to have good efficacy and safety against cancer. A mass of evidence has also shown that ginger has anti-tumor effects on digestive tract cancers (such as gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, laryngeal cancer, and pancreatic cancer) through a variety of pathways. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanisms of action of the main components of ginger and their potential clinical applications in treating gastrointestinal tumors.
MUTYH-associated polyposis: Is it time to change upper gastrointestinal surveillance? A single-center case series and a literature overview
Authors: Sanchez-Mete Lupe , Mosciatti Lorenzo , Casadio Marco , Vittori Luigi , Martayan Aline , Stigliano Vittoria
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

The presence of Spigelman stage (SS) IV duodenal polyposis is considered the most significant risk factor for duodenal cancer in patients with MUTYH -associated polyposis (MAP). However, advanced SS disease is rarely reported in MAP patients, and no clear recommendations on small bowel (SB) surveillance have been proposed in this patient setting.

AIM

To research more because that case reports of duodenal cancers in MAP suggest that they may develop in the absence of advanced benign SS disease and often involve the distal portion of the duodenum.

METHODS

We describe a series of MAP patients followed up at the Regina Elena National Cancer Institute of Rome (Italy). A literature overview on previously reported SB cancers in MAP is also provided.

RESULTS

We identified two (6%) SB adenocarcinomas with no previous history of duodenal polyposis. Our observations, supported by literature evidence, suggest that the formula for staging duodenal polyposis and predicting risk factors for distal duodenum and jejunal cancer may need to be adjusted to take this into account rather than focusing solely on the presence or absence of SS IV disease.

CONCLUSION

Our study emphasizes the need for further studies to define appropriate upper gastrointestinal surveillance programs in MAP patients.
Pancreatic pseudoaneurysm mimicking pancreatic tumor: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Yang Yuan , Liu Xue-Mei , Li Hong-Ping , Xie Rui , Tuo Bi-Guang , Wu Hui-Chao
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Pancreatic pseudoaneurysm is a rare vascular complication of chronic pancreatitis (CP) or necrotizing pancreatitis with an incidence of 4% to 17%, but it is potentially life-threatening. It is well known that most pancreatic pseudoaneurysms are clinically associated with pancreatic pseudocysts and are usually in the peripancreatic body-tail. A minority of intrapancreatic pseudoaneurysms occur in the absence of pseudocyst formation. Noninvasive computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are most commonly used examinations for screening pancreatic pseudoaneurysms. Notably, the rare intrapancreatic pseudoaneurysm in the pancreatic head can mimic a hypervascular solid mass and be misdiagnosed as a pancreatic tumor.

CASE SUMMARY

We report the case of a 67-year-old man who had been admitted to our hospital due to recurrent abdominal pain for 1 mo that was aggravated for 5 d. CT and MRI revealed a mass in the pancreatic head with significant expansion of the main pancreatic duct and mild atrophy of the pancreatic body-tail. He was admitted to the department of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery due to the possibility of a pancreatic tumor. The patient was then referred for endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) with possible EUS-FNA. However, EUS showed a cystic lesion in the pancreatic head with wall thickness and enhancing nodules, which was doubtful because it was inconsistent with the imaging findings. Subsequently, color doppler flow imaging demonstrated turbulent arterial blood flow in the cystic lesion and connection with the surrounding vessel. Therefore, we highly suspected the possibility of CP complicated with intrapancreatic pseudoaneurysm, combined with the patient's long-term drinking history and the sonographic features of CP. Indeed, angiography revealed an oval area of contrast medium extravasation (size: 1.0 cm × 1.5 cm) at the far-end branch of the superior pancreaticoduodenal artery, and angiographic embolization was given immediately at the same time.

CONCLUSION

EUS is an important differential diagnostic tool when pancreatic pseudoaneurysm mimics the imaging appearance of a hypervascular pancreatic tumor.
Designing an Egocentric Video-Based Dashboard to Report Hand Performance Measures for Outpatient Rehabilitation of Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
Authors: Kadambi Adesh , Bandini Andrea , Ramkalawan Ryan D. , Hitzig Sander L. , Zariffa José
Published: November 2023

Background

Functional use of the upper extremities (UEs) is a top recovery priority for individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI), but the inability to monitor recovery at home and limitations in hand function outcome measures impede optimal recovery.

Objectives

We developed a framework using wearable cameras to monitor hand use at home and aimed to identify the best way to report information to clinicians.

Methods

A dashboard was iteratively developed with clinician (n = 7) input through focus groups and interviews, creating low-fidelity prototypes based on recurring feedback until no new information emerged. Affinity diagramming was used to identify themes and subthemes from interview data. User stories were developed and mapped to specific features to create a high-fidelity prototype.

Results

Useful elements identified for a dashboard reporting hand performance included summaries to interpret graphs, a breakdown of hand posture and activity to provide context, video snippets to qualitatively view hand use at home, patient notes to understand patient satisfaction or struggles, and time series graphing of metrics to measure trends over time.

Conclusion

Involving end-users in the design process and breaking down user requirements into user stories helped identify necessary interface elements for reporting hand performance metrics to clinicians. Clinicians recognized the dashboard's potential to monitor rehabilitation progress, provide feedback on hand use, and track progress over time. Concerns were raised about the implementation into clinical practice, therefore further inquiry is needed to determine the tool's feasibility and usefulness in clinical practice for individuals with UE impairments.

Published: November 2023

Background

Activity-based therapy (ABT) has emerged as a therapeutic approach that may promote neurorecovery and reduce secondary complications in people living with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D). In spite of the numerous health benefits, adoption of ABT into practice has been limited across the Canadian care continuum.

Objectives

This study aimed to understand the challenges of implementing ABT in Canada for people living with SCI/D through the perspectives of key interest groups.

Methods

Researchers, hospital therapists, community trainers, administrators, persons living with SCI/D, and advocates, funders, and policy experts who had knowledge of and/or experience with ABT participated in focus group interviews to share their perspectives on the barriers to ABT practice. Interviews were analyzed using conventional content analysis followed by a comparative analysis across groups.

Results

The 48 participants identified six key challenges: (1) challenge of gaps in knowledge/training, (2) challenge of standardizing ABT, (3) challenge of determining the optimal timing of ABT, (4) challenge of defining, characterizing, and achieving high dosage and intensity, (5) challenge of funding ABT, and (6) challenge of measuring participation and performance in ABT. A comparative analysis found some challenges were emphasized by certain groups, such as the cost of ABT for persons with SCI/D, lack of education and training in ABT for therapists and trainers, minimal evidence to develop guidelines for researchers and advocates, and funding ABT programs for administrators.

Conclusion

Participants highlighted several challenges that limit ABT practice. Strategies to address these challenges will support successful implementation of ABT in Canada.

Published: November 2023

Background

Despite the positive results in upper limb (UL) motor recovery after using electrical neuromodulation in individuals after cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) or stroke, there has been limited exploration of potential benefits of combining task-specific hand grip training with transcutaneous electrical spinal stimulation (TSS) for individuals with UL paralysis.

Objectives

This study investigates the combinatorial effects of task-specific hand grip training and noninvasive TSS to enhance hand motor output after paralysis.

Methods

Four participants with cervical SCI classified as AIS A and B and two participants with cerebral stroke were recruited in this study. The effects of cervical TSS without grip training and during training with sham stimulation were contrasted with hand grip training with TSS. TSS was applied at midline over cervical spinal cord. During hand grip training, 5 to 10 seconds of voluntary contraction were repeated at a submaximum strength for approximately 10 minutes, three days per week for 4 weeks. Signals from hand grip dynamometer along with the electromyography (EMG) activity from UL muscles were recorded and displayed as visual feedback.

Results

Our case study series demonstrated that combined task-specific hand grip training and cervical TSS targeting the motor pools of distal muscles in the UL resulted in significant improvements in maximum hand grip strength. However, TSS alone or hand grip training alone showed limited effectiveness in improving grip strength.

Conclusion

Task-specific hand grip training combined with TSS can result in restoration of hand motor function in paralyzed upper limbs in individuals with cervical SCI and stroke.

Published: November 2023

Background

Individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) are considered higher users of antibiotics. However, to date there have been no detailed studies investigating outpatient antibiotic use in this population.

Objectives

(1) To describe primary care antibiotic prescribing patterns in adults with SCI rostered to a primary care physician (PCP), and (2) to identify patient or PCP factors associated with number of antibiotics prescribed and antibiotic prescription duration.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study using linked health administrative and electronic medical records (EMR) databases from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015 among 432 adults with SCI in Ontario, Canada. Negative binomial regression analyses were conducted to identify patient or physician factors associated with number of antibiotics prescribed and prescription duration.

Results

During the study period, 61.1% of the SCI cohort received an antibiotic prescription from their PCP. There were 59.8% of prescriptions for urinary tract infections (UTI) and 24.6% of prescriptions for fluoroquinolones. Regression analysis found catheter use was associated with increased number of antibiotics prescribed (relative risk [RR] = 3.1; 95% CI, 2.3-4.1; p < .001) and late career PCPs, compared to early-career PCPs, prescribed a significantly longer duration (RR = 1.8; 95% CI, 1.1-3.1; p = .02).

Conclusion

UTIs were the number one prescription indication, and fluoroquinolones were the most prescribed antibiotic. Catheter use was associated with number of antibiotics, and PCP's years of practice was associated with duration. The study provided important information about primary care antibiotic prescribing in the SCI population and found that not all individuals received frequent antibiotics prescriptions.

Postnatal education has an important role in the life of every child, where it is a guarantee that children can develop optimally and not experience significant difficulties in their lives. This study aims to analyze and synthesize the concept of postnatal education and how it is viewed according to Islam. The research method used is qualitative with a literature study approach with documentation study as the data collection technique. The results of the study show that the concept of postnatal education is clearly contained in the Qur'an surah At-Tahrim [66]: 6. In the interpretations of Al-Misbah and Al-Maraghi it is explained that the verse indicates the moral responsibility of both parents to be responsible to their children and to their respective spouses, as each is responsible for what he does. This form of responsibility is through educational processes in the form of inculcating good values and obedience to Allah SWT. The family as the first place of education for children plays a role in the formation of character that is ready to face the future, while the school as a formal educational institution has a role as a reinforcement of basic education and becomes a unifier to develop relationships with society that are symbiotic mutualism to realize mutual benefits without causing harm to all components.Keywords: Education; postnata; Islam

In the current era of global development of information technology, the position of valueseducation is very central because it is in a position that is needed to be able to give meaning to each material subject to deliver the Indonesian nation towards an advanced civilization. The purpose of this article is to develop the concept of the importance of value education in dealing with conditions of global technological progress. This study uses the concept of library research for the urgency of the importance of values education. The results of the conceptual arrangement show that the use of technology needs to be balanced with value education so that the values and personality of the Indonesian nation remain intact and maintained. If the inculcation of values in education at this time is not strengthened, it is not impossible that the Indonesian people will gradually lose their identity and will not be able to maintain their national identity because they are easily influenced by global foreign cultures. So it can be concluded that technological progress needs to be strengthened by value education as a filter so that students are able to be critical in reasoning and moral considerations and able to choose good and correct values based on foundation, religion, ethics, morals and norms that apply in IndonesiaKeyword : Value Education, Digitalization, Moral Degradation
Dinamika Komunikasi Digital: Tren, Tantangan, dan Prospek Masa Depan

Published: November 2023

This study explores the dynamics of digital communication, focusing on trends, challenges, and future prospects. The research method used is a literature review, which involves the identification, selection, analysis, and synthesis of relevant information sources. The research findings reveal that current trends in digital communication include increased use of social media, the dominance of instant messaging applications, and changes in video content consumption. Social media has enabled us to expand our social networks globally but has also given rise to issues such as digital social isolation and the pressure to constantly share happiness. Instant messaging applications have brought efficiency to communication but also pose challenges such as distractions and privacy concerns. The consumption of video content has transformed how we consume entertainment and art, creating trends like "binge-watching”. In addition to trends, this study also highlights the impact of trends on social and cultural interactions. While digital communication has expanded social networks and enabled participation in social campaigns, there are also challenges such as "digital social isolation" and difficulties in conveying emotions in text communication. Ethical challenges in digital communication encompass data privacy, the spread of false information, digital surveillance, copyright issues, the power of tech companies, content filtering, and the use of user data for advertising. Ethical solutions involving privacy, justice, and freedom of speech should be considered to create a more ethical digital communication environment.

Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology is a wireless communication system that transmit information using the visible light spectrum. VLC has the advantage of not being affected by electromagnetic interference, but can be affected by interference from ambient light. There are two types of interference in the VLC system, namely natural interference from sunlight and ambient light interference from fluorescent or incandescent lamps. This study discusses the effect of fluorescent light interference on the VLC system using Multiple Pulse Position Modulation (MPPM) in a 10x10x3 meter room with Line Of Sight (LOS) channel. There are two scenarios carried out in this study discusses. The first scenario is the delivery of information using the VLC system without interference, while the second scenario is the delivery of information with interference from fluorescent lights. The final results of the simulations show that the VLC system in scenario I has a better performance compared to the VLC system in scenario II. This is evidenced by the results of the BER value obtained in scenario I with 2-PPM modulation obtained a value of 0.416, in 4-PPM modulation obtained a value of 0.335, and with 8-PPM modulation obtained a value of 0.231. In scenario II the BER value obtained with 2-PPM modulation is 0.466, in 4-PPM modulation is 0.432 and with 8-PPM modulation is 0.384. It also shows that 8-PPM modulation is the best modulation to transmit data compared to 2-PPM and 4-PPM modulation.
Limited Liability Companies in Romania: De Lege Lata Clarifications and De Lege Ferenda Proposals in Regard to the Forced Execution of ‘Social Parts’ for the Personal Debts of an Associate
Authors: Veress Emőd
Published: November 2023

The limited liability company is the most prevalent form of company in Romania. It is similar to the French S.A.R.L. (société à responsabilité limitée) or the German GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung), but important differences can be identified in the context of this type as it exists in Romania. This article focuses on a single but very important problem: Can the creditors of associates of limited liability companies enforce their claims by selling or acquiring participation in the limited liability companies of their debtors? And, if so, under what conditions? The problem of de lege lata is controversial, and the author seeks to offer a plausible interpretation of the existing norms, which make the rule effective but, at the same time, preserve the essential and traditional features of the limited liability company. In addition, several alternatives to de lege ferenda proposals are suggested, making this study a valuable contribution to the future development of Romanian company law and offering insights for further comparative research.
