Interrelation Between Paris Agreement and EU Free Trade Agreements’ Commitments: In Search of a Sustainable Path
Authors: Espa Ilaria , Tokas Marios
Published: January 2025

This paper analyses the interplay between climate change provisions in European Union (EU) Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with Global South nations, with a focus on Latin American countries, and the principles outlined in the Paris Agreement. It aims to provide recommendations on how to better harmonize the obligations under the Paris Agreement and EU FTAs to enhance climate ambition among trading partners. More critically, the paper seeks to foster a harmonious coexistence between binding and enforceable commitments on climate change included in FTAs and the flexible framework of the Paris Agreement. The paper proposes that hard commitments and strict enforcement procedures with regards to climate change may not be compatible with the spirit of the Paris Agreement and its principles. More distinctively, such strict and inflexible options may constitute a major disincentive to EU trade partners to negotiate more ambitious commitments and implement them at the domestic level. The paper concludes by suggesting post-implementation options for parties to steer up the engagement within the FTA institutions and progressively introduce more ambitious climate friendly FTA disciplines centred on cooperation.

Authors: Bustamante Javiera Cáceres , Pacheco Yilly Vanessa
Published: January 2025

Traditionally relegated to the periphery of European Union (EU) trade agreements, sustainable development concerns have gained prominence in the last decade, reflecting a paradigm shift in the EU’s external relations. The urgent need for action against climate emergencies and biodiversity loss has underscored the instrumental role trade policies can play in achieving environmental objectives and has shaped the EU’s global leadership in environmental protection. This article highlights the growing significance of forest protection as an integral component of the EU multilateral environmental agenda linked to climate change and biodiversity protection in the context of the EU preferential trade agreements (PTAs) with Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Chile. The study scrutinizes the EU’s unilateral and bilateral trade policies related to antideforestation commitments and sustainable forest management, particularly in the context of trade treaties with Chile and the Andean region, examining how the evolving approach in forest matters may influence EU-Andean relations within the context of their trade agreements. By exploring these dynamics, the article contributes to understanding the intricate intersections between forest concerns, international trade, and sustainable development, offering insights into the evolving landscape of the EU’s efforts.
Walking the Talk? Assessing EU-Latin America FTA Trade Committees as Drivers of Sustainability Action
Authors: Delev Christian
Published: January 2025

The Climate Crisis fixes our attention on a hurdle at the heart of the European Union’s (EUs) trade policy agenda. While striving for deeper trade liberalization commitments with its trading partners, the European Commission recognized the need for ‘proactive’ cooperation and ‘mainstreaming’ sustainability in its 2022 Trade and Sustainable Development review. To achieve these strategic objectives, the EU must ensure effective and lasting cooperation with its trade partners, and Latin American states in particular owing to the latter’s pivotal role within the global value chains that shape the global green transition. Adopting an institutionalist perspective, the present article examines the powers and limits of trade committees in EU-Latin America free trade agreements (FTAs) as drivers for sustainability action. Designed as the main channels for engagement between FTA parties, trade committees are treaty bodies typically exercising broadly-defined powers. This article makes three contributions to the analysis of trade committees. First, it examines the circumstances under which EU-Latin America trade committees generate regulatory cooperation and the types of sustainability action they are empowered to take. Second, the specific role of EU-Latin America trade committees in shaping the scope and interpretation of treaty obligations and monitoring treaty implementation, is explored. Finally, the article considers the likely place of trade committees within ‘next generation’ EU-Latin America FTAs and the EU’s broader ‘trade and sustainable development’ policy shift.
The Old UN Ghosts Speak: Quo Vadis, International Tax Regime: From Coordination to Cooperation?
Authors: Jogarajan Sunita , Teo Nikki J.
Published: January 2025

This article discusses the phenomenon of the United Nations (UN) Framework Convention for International Tax Cooperation in view of the historical experiences of international organizations in developing and shaping the international tax system. As developing countries press for a new beginning that offers hope for tax justice and a chance to remake the international tax regime, the first two experiments in global tax policymaking through the League of Nations and the UN offer insights for a deeper appreciation of why current developments in international tax relations present a rare, hard-won opportunity that is long overdue. By examining the stimulus, processes, networks, and actors that have shaped and are shaping the direction and parameters of global tax negotiations, this article teases out stark differences in the contrast between past and present to illuminate the seismic shifts that have taken place, the developments that are cause for optimism, and the hurdles that remain in the ongoing struggle to establish a truly inclusive and fair global system.

Expansion mapping in controlled metric space and extended B-metric space
Authors: Soni Bhawna , Tenguria Dr. Abha
Published: January 2025

This paper delves into the intricate study of expansion mappings within the frameworks of controlled metric spaces and extended B-metric spaces. Expansion mappings, known for their crucial role in fixed-point theory and iterative processes, are examined under the lens of these generalized metric spaces to uncover their distinct properties and extended applicability. Controlled metric spaces, which incorporate a dynamic control function to modulate the distance measurements, offer a refined approach to traditional metric space concepts. This flexibility allows for a more nuanced understanding of spatial relationships and convergence behaviors. Extended B-metric spaces, by relaxing the stringent requirements of the triangle inequality, open new avenues for theoretical exploration and practical application, accommodating broader classes of functions and sequences. In this study, we aim to provide a comprehensive analysis of the behavior of expansion mappings in these sophisticated metric frameworks. We will present new theoretical results that extend and generalize existing principles, highlighting the interplay between the control functions in controlled metric spaces and the relaxed conditions in extended B-metric spaces. Additionally, we explore practical applications of these findings in various fields, including optimization, computational mathematics, and the analysis of iterative methods. By bridging the gap between classical metric spaces and their generalized counterparts, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the mathematical foundations and potential applications of expansion mappings. The results presented herein pave the way for further research and development in this vibrant area of mathematical analysis.
Opinión pública y cambio electoral en España. Claves ante el reto europeo y la crisis política y económica
Authors:   Universidad Pompeu Fabra, Torcal Loriente Mariano
Published: January 2025

a intención de este volumen colectivo es tratar de mostrar la importancia que el proceso político ha tenido en el deterioro de las actitudes básicas de los españoles respecto al funcionamiento y confianza en instituciones democráticas nacionales y supranacionales (Unión Europea) durante la crisis iniciada en 2008. Dicho proceso ha generado una crisis de confianza que, asimismo, se ha convertido en el motor principal del cambio del comportamiento electoral de los españoles y del auge y consolidación de los nuevos partidos. En una ya abundante literatura sobre el cambio actitudinal y del comportamiento político de los españoles durante los últimos años, en donde predominaban explicaciones economicistas e instrumentalistas, la intención de los trabajos aquí presentados es, en cambio, evidenciar la importancia que la agencia política y sus reacciones a la crisis han podido tener directa o indirectamente en el mismo, sin menoscabar, eso sí, la importancia del contexto económico y social de la Gran Recesión de 2008 y de las políticas de austeridad que lo acompañaron.

Aunque muchos capítulos del presente trabajo utilizan otros datos complementarios de encuesta, todos ellos se basan en el análisis de una encuesta de tipo panel con seis olas que se implementaron durante los años 2014 y 2015, llamada CIUPANEL, dirigida por Mariano Torcal y Sergio Martini. Esta es una base de datos de tipo panel longitudinal casi única que facilita calibrar el peso relativo de muchos factores para entender la variación temporal individual (variación within). Además, cuenta con varios experimentos de encuesta que permiten desentrañar con una mayor validez los mecanismos causales propiciados por determinados factores políticos que aquí se abordan a la hora de explicar el cambio.

Published: January 2025

The increasing awareness of the negative impacts caused by plastic waste in the environment is driving visible innovations across various industries, including the medical field. One notable innovation that has emerged is biodegradable dressings. The aim of this study was to develop, characterize, and select biopolymeric membranes based on babassu coconut mesocarp starch (BCMS), alginate (A), and pectin (P), applying experimental design to assess their potential uses as dressings. A three-factor simplex-lattice design was employed, with the response variables being the physicochemical and mechanical properties. The results revealed that high concentrations of BCMS significantly influenced the properties of the produced membranes, resulting in dark brown coloration, brittleness, and cracking due to the crystalline structure of the starch. In contrast, lower concentrations led to lighter brown coloration and a more flexible, uniform structure. Additionally, the thickness of the films varied depending on the amount of starch used, affecting both the mechanical properties and water vapor permeability (WVP). The addition of glycerol also impacted the WVP, with higher starch concentrations reducing solubility and making the films less hydrophilic. It is noteworthy that the miscibility of the starch and its concentration directly influence the mechanical properties of the films, indicating the need for adjustments to enhance the hardness and rigidity of the biomaterials, which are crucial for meeting the necessary requirements for dressings. Nevertheless, despite the observed challenges, BCMS-based biopolymers have shown promise for use as biomaterials in dressings, indicating a positive path for future developments and optimizations.

Introdução: A Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC) é uma condição inflamatória progressiva que causa limitação irreversível ao fluxo aéreo, impactando negativamente a qualidade de vida. Estratégias terapêuticas incluem broncodilatadores de longa duração (LABA e LAMA), reabilitação pulmonar e fisioterapia respiratória, que aliviam sintomas, melhoram a ventilação e reduzem exacerbações. A abordagem multidisciplinar é fundamental no manejo da doença. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos da fisioterapia respiratória, reabilitação pulmonar e broncodilatadores no controle da dispneia, qualidade de vida e redução de exacerbações em pacientes com DPOC. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa com buscas sistemáticas em PubMed e SciELO, analisando a eficácia isolada e combinada dessas abordagens e sua relevância na prática  clínica. Resultados:Broncodilatadores de longa ação (LABA/LAMA) foram eficazes na redução de exacerbações e melhora dos sintomas em casos graves (GOLD C e D). A associação LABA/LAMA apresentou maior eficácia que a monoterapia em pacientes graves (redução de exacerbações: 19% vs. 34%). Em sintomas leves (GOLD A), broncodilatadores de curta ação, como Salbutamol e Brometo de Ipratrópio, mostraram-se adequados, apesar de efeitos adversos. Discussão: A combinação LABA/LAMA e a fisioterapia respiratória proporcionaram ganhos funcionais significativos, como aumento no TC6M (25 vs. 8 metros). Limitações incluem amostras reduzidas e falta de seguimento longitudinal. Sugere-se ampliar o uso de tecnologias e explorar intervenções em estágios iniciais da doença. Conclusão: A terapia combinada LABA/LAMA, aliada à reabilitação pulmonar, melhora a qualidade de vida e reduz exacerbações na DPOC grave. Estudos futuros devem focar na diversidade de amostras e adesão terapêutica.

Authors: Morais Salomão Saraiva de , Veloso Roberto Carvalho
Published: January 2025

O artigo analisa o ativismo judicial-administrativo como uma dinâmica institucional emergente no Brasil, com destaque para a atuação normativa do Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ) e das corregedorias dos tribunais na regulação de serviços notariais e de registro público. Essa prática, que edita regulamentos com força normativa primária, desafia o equilíbrio da divisão de poderes estabelecido pela Constituição de 1988, ao afastar a intermediação legislativa tradicional. A pesquisa avalia os impactos dessa prática na separação de poderes e no equilíbrio institucional, ressaltando sua relevância para a modernização e eficiência do Sistema de Justiça, além de promover novas formas de acesso à Justiça pela via da extrajudicialidade. Frente ao cenário de transformação digital, o artigo examina as implicações práticas do fenômeno, que reforça o protagonismo do Judiciário e pressiona por maior eficiência e economicidade. Nesse contexto, analisa-se o impacto da Lei nº 14.382/2022, que instituiu o Sistema Eletrônico de Registros Públicos (Serp), representando uma nova lógica de acesso à Justiça extrajudicial. O estudo utiliza uma metodologia indutiva, com abordagens histórico-jurídicas e jurídico-compreensivas, para compreender a evolução do ativismo judicial-administrativo e suas bases filosóficas, históricas e tecnológicas.

Introduction: Modafinil, a wakefulness-promoting agent, is primarily used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy and fatigue. As a BCS class II drug, modafinil exhibits low solubility and high permeability, with its crystalline structure significantly impacting dissolution, bioavailability, and compressibility. This study explores the use of microwave energy to alter the crystalline structure of modafinil in the presence of Gelucire® 48/16, aiming to improve its pharmaceutical properties. Methods: Modafinil was treated with microwave energy to form complexes with Gelucire® 48/16, and the resulting formulations were compared to hot-melt complexes and physical mixtures. The structural and thermal properties of the complexes were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Compressibility and compactibility were evaluated through Kawakita model analysis and response surface methodolog). The effect of microwaves on molecular interactions was further investigated using molecular modeling. Results: XRPD analysis revealed distinct crystalline patterns for microwave and hot-melt complexes compared to physical mixtures, with increased amorphousness observed through crystallinity, relative crystallinity, and relative intensity parameters. DSC thermograms indicated a reduction in melting endotherms and heat flow, suggesting structural changes due to complex formation. Compressibility and compactibility studies demonstrated optimal performance at low Gelucire® content, with microwave-treated complexes exhibiting superior properties to untreated mixtures. Molecular modeling confirmed dipole-dipole interactions between modafinil and the hydrophilic portion of Gelucire®. Conclusions: The study demonstrates that microwave energy effectively alters the crystalline structure of modafinil in the presence of Gelucire® 48/16, enhancing its amorphousness, compressibility, and compactibility. These findings highlight the potential of microwave-assisted complexation as a novel approach to improve the pharmaceutical performance of BCS Class II drugs like modafinil.

W artykule omawiam media obywatelskie znajdujące się w Katalogu Internetowych Mediów Obywatelskich Warmii i Mazur, których główną formą narracji jest fotografia. Za pomocą analizy zawartości poszczególnych mediów obywatelskich i dzięki wywiadom ustrukturyzowanym w ramach prac nad Katalogiem możliwe było porównanie nowomedialnej fotonarracji z tradycyjnym fotoreportażem i wskazanie różnic oraz podobieństw między nimi. W artykule omówiłam także rolę fotografii, jaką odgrywała dawniej i jaką odgrywa współcześnie w mediach. Artykuł powstał w ramach pracy nad projektem Centrum Monitoringu Internetowego Dziennikarstwa Obywatelskiego na Warmii i Mazurach (https://cmidzo.uwm.edu.pl/).
The Role of Citizen Journalism in Building a Collective Memory: Applying Citizen Journalism to Language Instruction
Authors: Sokolova Svetlana
Published: January 2025

This article explores the intersection of citizen journalism and memory studies through the educational film project Our Common Victory. In this project, students from UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø, act as citizen journalists, investigating memories of World War II among Russian citizens in Arkhangelsk. The students conducted interviews with respondents from four different generations (aged 80+, 60+, 40+, and 20+), capturing both individual and collective memories that emphasize the enduring impact of WWII on Russian national identity. The interviews have resulted in a documentary film, now publicly available on YouTube. The project presents a special case of citizen journalism, where students take on the role of community journalists who receive professional help with the editing of the film. The study provides a case example of how integrating citizen journalism into language instruction can enhance historical understanding and foster cross-cultural connections; and, on a more general level, how citizen journalism empowers individuals to document and share personal histories, contributing to a richer collective memory.
Comparative analysis of the torsional strength of ABS material for additive systems with closed and open working chambers
Authors: Bernaczek Jacek , Kędzierski Wiktor
Published: January 2025

The publication covers the research process of analysing the torsional strength of standard circular samples additively manufacturedfrom ABS copolymer dedicated to additive processing systems of thermoplastics with a closed and open working chamber. Testsamples were produced using the thermoplastic modelling technique in an industrial system with a closed working chamber and a publiclyavailable machine with an open working space. The samples were made in three variants of model infill – i.e. 30, 60 and 90% – inorder to determine the impact of model infill in the additive process on torsional strength. Three sets of samples were made – four piecesfor each variant (according to the indicated infill parameters) – with the same manufacturing process parameters for both techniques,which were subjected to final processing; the so-called (postprocessing). The results of the torsional strength analysis obtained in theresearch process can be used to define the potential application area of the material in question – thermoplastic ABS and its processingtechniques for the production of parts subject to complex loads, such as machine shafts, clutches or gear hubs and other elements/partsof machines commonly used, for example in household appliances, power tools and low-power drives.
Imaginer Sisyphe face aux Danaïdes. La doctrine française et l’open data des décisions de justice
Authors: Bordère Camille
Published: January 2025

L’open data des décisions de justice enclenchée en 2016 se trouve à l’épicentre d’un écosystème politico-économique au sein duquel le discours doctrinal français occupe une place particulière. C’est en tant que destinataire de cet open data que ce discours laisse s’exprimer une inquiétude aux accents existentiels : que lui fera la masse de données que représente la production de l’ensemble des juridictions françaises lorsqu’elle se déversera dans les serveurs des juridictions, des éditeurs et des legaltechs ? De fait, cette question fait écho à la confrontation des modes habituels de production de connaissance de droit en droit avec ceux que l’analyse de l’ensemble des décisions des juges du fond semble commander. Entre maintien d’une appréhension qualitative, sélective et hiérarchique de la jurisprudence et remise en cause de cette logique par celle, quantitative, exhaustive et horizontale, véhiculée par l’open data des décisions de justice, il s’agit donc de dépasser l’angoisse que cette question provoque pour envisager des voies de reconstruction, au moins partielle, de la compréhension et de l’analyse du droit juridictionnel.
Les données de la recherche comme biens communs. La pluralité des régimes de communalité
Authors: Cornu Marie
Published: January 2025

On serait tenté de considérer, d’entrée de jeu, les sources et résultats de la recherche comme des biens communs, c’est-à-dire des ressources partageables dont l’accès devrait être libre. Ce principe de liberté postulerait en amont un accès aisé à la connaissance, donc aux sources et aux travaux réalisés à partir de ces sources. C’est ce que suggère dans son premier article le Code de la recherche évoquant, parmi les objectifs de politique publique, le partage de la culture scientifique, technique et industrielle, la valorisation des résultats au service de la société. Aujourd’hui élevé au rang de droit et liberté garanti par la Constitution, le droit des archives consacre aussi cette idée d’une ressource collective. Mais les données de la recherche sont aussi un lieu d’arbitrage entre intérêts divergents publics et privés. L’accès à ces biens est en l’occurrence concurrencé par de multiples logiques conduisant parfois à leur soustraction de la sphère de publicité. Certaines écoles de pensée contemporaines se sont intéressées aux communs de la connaissance et à la montée en régime propriétariste de certains d’entre eux. Dans l’étude de ce registre de communalité, les éléments de complexité sont de plusieurs ordres. Ils tiennent doublement aux incertitudes quant à la détermination de la part de communalité et à sa préservation.
La science ouverte appliquée aux ressources de la recherche scientifique sur le droit
Authors: Robin Agnès
Published: January 2025

Bien que non fondée sur l’observation des faits plutôt réservée à d’autres disciplines scientifiques, la science juridique utilise et produit un grand nombre de données, les « données de la recherche juridique ». Cet ensemble regroupe tant les écrits scientifiques dont la publication est assurée par les éditeurs que l’ensemble de la documentation publique contenant les sources du droit au sens large, mais aussi, le cas échéant, les ressources privées (données, savoir-faire, contrats). Il s’agit alors de mesurer le degré d’ouverture de ces données au regard des règles de science ouverte légalement consacrées successivement par le législateur français et par le législateur européen, obligeant ainsi à réinterroger l’ensemble du processus de production et de diffusion scientifique dans cette discipline.
