Untangling the significance of the Ukraine and the Netherlands vs Russia Case on the determination of the international nature of the conflict and on the onset of the use of force by the Russian Federation against Ukraine: 2022 OR 2014?
Authors: Frey Pinto de Almeida Joao
Published: August 2024

This article will draw from the ECtHR’s judgement of 30/11/2022, without offering a direct commentary on that decision. My aim is to build upon the Court’s stance and analyse it in the context of the international framework of the use of force. I believe it gives rise to a prolific discussion on jus ad bellum, which allows, by resorting to case-law and relevant documents and scholar’s legal theories, to question whether the violation of the prohibitive principle of the use of force in international relations only occurred when Putin authorized a “special military operation” in 2022, or if it goes back to 2014. I am going to endorse this latter viewpoint, but not before putting in prominence the Court’s assessment on the ECHR’s extraterritorial application and whether it allows to link the Russian Federation to the “separatists’” warlike acts, imparting an international nature to an apparently internal armed conflict.

Authors: Soares Farinho Domingos
Published: August 2024

Fundamental rights are at the centre of the proposal for a new Digital Services Act (DSA), an EU Regulation that aims to update the e-Commerce Directive, the nuclear legislation on intermediary service providers. Of special importance among these providers are online platforms, the gatekeepers of the new social, economic and political life of the digital XXI century. Both content management and conflict resolution in the context of online platforms fall under the provisions of the DSA and they are key to an adequate regulation of users’ interaction, both with the online platforms and among themselves and to the protection of fundamental rights. The paper analysis content management and conflict resolution mechanisms under the e-Commerce Directive and the DSA Proposal through the perspective of fundamental rights protection and promotion. The goal is to offer a first approach and appraisal to the conflict resolution mechanism put in place by the Proposal and ascertain if they comply with EU and Member States law and assure the adequate and balanced exercise of fundamental rights.
Emergencia e reequilibrio financeiro de contratos de execucao duradoura no Decreto-Lei n 19-A/2020: uma excepcao a excepcao constitucional?
Authors: Heleno Terrinha Luis
Published: August 2024

A 30 de Abril de 2020, o Governo aprovou o Decreto-Lei n.º 19-A/2020, no qual “estabelece um regime excepcional e temporário de reequilíbrio financeiro de contratos de execução duradoura” em razão do circunstancialismo da pandemia de COVID-19. Trata-se de um acto legislativo que, quer do ponto de vista jurídico-constitucional quer do ponto de vista jurídico-administrativo, levanta sérias interrogações. Em especial, está longe de ser pacífica a sua conformidade ora com o regime constitucional do estado de emergência, ora com princípios essenciais do Estado de Direito. Justifica-se, assim, uma análise crítica de tal diploma. Concluímos que, em vários dos seus artigos, o regime estabelecido viola directamente a Constituição e as garantias do estado de emergência constitucional. Nessa medida, o Decreto-Lei n.º 19-A/2020 configura uma excepção à excepção constitucional e, por isso, é inapelavelmente inconstitucional.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of gender quotas on political representation in Scandinavian countries in Sweden.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: In Sweden, gender quotas have greatly enhanced female political representation. These quotas have led to a higher number of women in parliament and political positions, promoting greater gender equality in decision-making. The Swedish approach, combining party quotas and legislative requirements, has effectively increased female participation and influenced more inclusive policy-making. This success highlights the positive impact of gender quotas on achieving gender balance in politics.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social learning theory, expectancy-value theory & critical pedagogy theory may be used to anchor future studies on the effect of gender quotas on political representation in Scandinavian countries in Sweden. Educators and curriculum developers should ensure that textbooks and other educational materials represent genders equitably and inclusively. Education policymakers should establish and enforce regulatory standards that mandate gender balance and inclusivity in textbooks.

Published: August 2024

One of the most widely grown commercial commodities in India is the banana tree, which has important cultural and gastronomic significance in tropical and subtropical areas where banana leaves are widely used for food delivery and packaging in a variety of cultures. Regrettably, the incidence of diverse ailments that damage banana leaves present a significant risk to total output, therefore having an instant effect on the country's economy. To meet this issue, more efficient monitoring systems must be put in place, and control techniques for early illness and pest detection must be developed. Using pest indicators makes this proactive strategy easier. With the successful use of these approaches in a variety of industries, recent advances in agricultural technology have seen the incorporation of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) for disease identification in numerous crops. This study's main goal is to put into practice a DCNN that is especially designed to anticipate various illnesses and pest occurrences in banana leaves. Through the use of DCNN, farmers may get vital insights to apply fertilizers sparingly during the early phases, hence preventing the advent of leaf diseases. Remarkably, the suggested approach, which uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for accurate banana leaf disease detection, exhibits an astounding 99% accuracy when compared to other deep learning techniques. By offering a reliable and precise technique for predicting pest and disease in banana crops, this study advances agricultural practices. The use of state-of-the-art technologies, like CNN and DCNN, highlights the potential revolutionary influence on disease control in banana farming, promoting increased yield and sustainable farming methods.

Intellectual Structure of the Scientific Production on Farmers' Markets and Local Agri-Food Systems: An Analysis in the Light of Co-Citations
Authors: Queiroz Susã Sequinel de , Grandi Adriana Maria de , Plein Clério
Published: August 2024

This paper presents the structure of scientific production that provides the basis for studies on farmers' markets and local agri-food systems through co-citation analysis. The method used was exploratory, and the data for the analysis consisted of scientific articles retrieved from the Web of Science database. The results revealed that studies on this topic began in 1944, although only from 2000 there was a significant increase in research. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) reveals that the structure of scientific production on farmers' markets and local agri-food systems is addressed in 72.24% by 84 articles. The result of EFA was grouped into five dimensions: the fundamental definitions of alternative local food economies, the characteristics of local food systems, the diversity of alternative food networks, the search for innovative practices and management improvements in alternative local agri-food networks, and the locus of the dynamics of alternative agri-food networks where the consumer-producer relationship is prioritized. This study reinforces the need for further research to seek an understanding of the vital role of farmers' markets and local agri-food systems in society. Future research is recommended to explore the ways and possibilities for producer-consumer rapprochement in the short-circuit food supply chain in farmers' markets.
Keywords: Farmers’ market; Local agri-food systems; Co-citation analysis.
