Authors: Lanfranchi Maurizio , Algeri Carmelo , Dimitrova Vihra , Pascale Angelina De , Giannetto Carlo
Published: January 2024

The present study examines the elements that influence Italians' willingness to pay a higher price for organic olive oil. As a result, a survey was conducted involving a heterogeneous sample of 332 consumers and their propensity to spend a surplus price was examined using a logit model. According to the study findings, consumers are willing to pay more for organic olive oil and this willingness to pay increases with age, education level, living in a smaller household, consumption of organic food and traditional sources such as producers, retailers and supermarkets. The empirical investigation demonstrates the convenience for farms of converting olive oil production from conventional to organic in order to fulfill customer needs. Companies are able to plan their medium-and long-term commercial activities   when they can predict customer preferences.   Indeed, consumer information may have a beneficial effect on the community as a whole due to the considerable quantity of positive environmental externalities associated with organic olive production.

Published: January 2024

The pandemic-induced shift to distance learning brought significant changes to supplementary education, impacting content representation, teaching methods, assessment, and digital interaction. The purpose of the study was to investigate the readiness of supplementary technical education teachers in Kazakhstan to employ distance technologies in developing schoolchildren's technical creativity during and after the pandemic. Furthermore, the study aimed to implement a professional development program to enhance teachers' preparedness. To achieve the goal of the study, the authors used theoretical analysis to assess teachers' readiness for distance technologies. When developing a professional program, the modeling method was used. Empirical methods, including student portfolios, curriculum assessment through peer review, and semi-structured interviews, were conducted in four regions of Kazakhstan in 2022-2023 with the participation of 30 technical education teachers. Results indicate that teachers with varying levels of experience initially exhibited differences in motivational, content-based, and procedural readiness. However, the Moodle program positively influenced these aspects for both groups. This study offered insights into the transformation of teacher readiness in supplementary technical education amidst evolving educational landscapes. The recommendations and outcomes can be applied to the systems of supplementary technical education for children in terms of organization, analysis, and sustainability of approaches to the creation of digital content.

Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection, also known as delta virus, has been identified as a crucial risk factor contributing to severe complications among hepatitis B patients. Such complications arise as HDV accelerates the progression towards cirrhosis, exacerbates the risk of decompensated cirrhosis, and increases mortality rates compared to non-HDV hepatitis B infections. Despite its clinical significance, data on HDV infection remains scarce, and exhibits marked regional disparities in Viet Nam. This study endeavors to explore HDV co-infection in adult hepatitis B patients. A descriptive cross-sectional investigation was conducted, involving 539 hepatitis B subjects attending the Outpatient Clinic of the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City between October 2021 and May 5, 2022. The study sample featured three hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, 148 patients with elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, and nine patients whose ALT levels exceeded five times the upper limit of normal (ULN). Additionally, 11 patients reported a history of blood transfusion, while no participants had any history of intravenous drug use. Remarkably, the study did not document any instances of HDV co-infection among the subjects. These findings suggest that HDV screening may not be a routine recommendation for patients diagnosed with moderate or mild hepatitis B, particularly when presenting with low-risk factors. Further research is warranted to better understand the prevalence of HDV co-infection in this population and to guide the development of evidence-based screening guidelines.

Authors: Mezenner Noureddine , Bermad Abdelmalek , Benkaci Tarik , Dechemi Noureddine
Published: January 2024

Artificial Intelligence based prediction has wide applications, including hydrology, water resources management and particularly reservoir operation. Thus, two black box models based on Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic methods are implemented and tested in forecasting reservoir operation; the first is a Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network and the second is an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System combining the two methods. The developed models consist of predicting evaporation, inflows and reservoir storage from their historical records and that, with aim of providing the best fit between predicted and observed values and of improving operating rules on storage and releases. The performance of achieved results demonstrated the pertinence of Artificial Neural Networks and fuzzy Logic methods in predicting cyclical state variables, such as evaporation and storage, while the prediction of inflows to reservoir generally gave better results compared to other research works available in open literature on one hand. On other hand, it is deduced from testing different prediction models that these methods are unable to predict random variables.
Wireless sensor network deployment optimization for a smart farming application: comparison of two Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms
Authors: Ferhat Taleb Soumaya , Benalia Nour_El_Houda
Published: January 2024

As it is one of the main means of insuring food security, agriculture has employed different technologies such as the Internet of Things and wireless sensor networks (WSN), to improve the quality and quantity of agricultural products, while preserving natural resources. But unfortunately, in agricultural plots where we have large surfaces of interest, the optimization of node deployment in a WSN remains among the major problems to be solved. In this work, we proposed a WSN node deployment optimization model for an agricultural application according to classical constraints of coverage, over-coverage, connectivity and nodes number, in addition to the nodes separating distance constraint which affects the quality of physical parameters models. We have applied two variants of Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms, the Non Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NS-GA II) and the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm II (SPEA II). As a result, for a 100 m2 plot, both algorithms ensured a communication rate of 100% while SPEA 2 presented a lower sensor number and over-coverage rates with a smaller separating distance, and the execution time of NSGA II was shorter with 11 s. Besides, both of them were greedy in terms of computation time with the increase in the size of the plots.

Alle origini della Commissione parlamentare antimafia
Authors: Dovizio Ciro
Published: January 2024

L’articolo ripercorre gli eventi che tra gli anni cinquanta e sessanta portarono il Parlamento a occuparsi della mafia e ad approvare una Commissione d’inchiesta sul fenomeno, accogliendo una proposta che la sinistra siciliana avanzava dal 1948. Esso evidenzia il ritardo con cui la Repubblica si attrezzò nel contrasto al problema, delineando la genesi di un’istituzione destinata a diventare semi-permanente, ovvero ad essere rinnovata quasi ad ogni legislatura.

Published: January 2024

Febrile seizures are a common neurological condition in young children, affecting around 2-5% of those under the age of 5 worldwide. Although they are usually harmless and resolve independently, they can cause significant distress for parents and caregivers. A recent study aimed to investigate the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in children with febrile seizures to determine whether iron status has an impact on these seizures. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Pediatrics, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, between January 2022 and January 2023. The study included 115 children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years who had experienced febrile seizures. Detailed clinical histories and blood samples were taken to measure hemoglobin, serum iron, ferritin, and complete blood counts. The children were divided into two groups based on their iron deficiency anemia status. The study found that 34.8% of the 115 participants had iron deficiency anemia (IDA), and the remaining 65.2% did not have IDA. The IDA group had significantly lower hemoglobin, serum iron, and ferritin levels than the non-IDA group. The average hemoglobin concentration in the IDA group was 9.8 g/dL, while it was 11.2 g/dL in the non-IDA group. The study suggests that a significant percentage of children who experience febrile seizures may also have iron deficiency anemia. This information can be helpful for healthcare providers in managing and treating these children.
The Thermodynamics of Life as a Speculative Model for Planetary Technology
Authors: Hernandez-Blick Cristian
Published: January 2024

Originating from nineteenth century physics, the concept of entropy—a measure of disorder, randomness, and/or the dissipation of useful energy—underlay a cosmology where order and complexity were seen as highly improbable phenomena in a universe tending toward chaos and disorganisation. Nearly a century later, theoretical frameworks were developed for understanding the production of entropy as an enabling feature of self-organized complexity in the natural world. These ideas would contribute to establishing connections between the origins, development, and evolution of life and the principles of a thermodynamic universe. For some, they also supplied the conceptual foundations for theorizing about a universal natural tendency driving the development of increasingly complex and ordered systems which amplify processes of entropy production and energy dissipation and dispersal. In this paper I chart a path through the aforementioned ideas and present their relevance in framing a relationship between our technological civilization and the Earth system. I then speculate about the prospect of a technosphere whose constitution and activity are aligned with thermodynamic principles of dissipation and entropy-production, drawing on theoretical biology and recent developments in bioengineering to envision a paradigm where technology becomes living matter itself.
Apropos Technophany
Authors: Hui Yuk
Published: January 2024

This article aims to reconstruct Simondon’s concept of technophany, which disperses throughout different writings that appeared posthumously and suggest how elaborating this concept could be understood as a significant philosophical task today. Technophany, namely the manifestation of technicity, is central to Simondon’s thought on techno-aesthetics and, more importantly, his intellectual project of reintegrating technology into culture. However, when we place Simondon’s concept of technophany in today’s context, namely the convergence of technology, art and design since the second half of the 20th century, we see that technophanies are becoming more or less ordinary marketing phenomena of the tech industry. Then, could the concept of technophany still take up this task of reconciling technology and culture? Or, instead, is it reduced to a mere economic category, and Simondon’s techno-aesthetics is only a forerunner of today’s industrial marketing strategies? In order to respond to these questions, this article returns to the source of Simondon’s concept of technicity. It shows that there is an intimacy between technophany and Mircea Eliade’s concept of hierophany, and indeed, Simondon’s genesis of technicity vividly mirrors Eliade’s analysis of sacrality and its crisis in modern times. The concept of technophany acquires a new meaning, and it refuses to be a mere phenomenon of publicity as one might easily misread it. Technophany has the task of occupying the “no man’s land” between technicity and sacrality. However, what exactly does it mean? Through the reconstruction of the concept of technophany in Simondon’s thought, this article hopes to examine the limit of the concept and, at the same time, reconceptualise and prolong it.
Synthesize Iron Oxide and Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Using Plant Extracts
Authors: Ibrahim Dalal
Published: January 2024

Recently, a plant-mediated approach to synthesizing nanoparticles via unconventional, eco-friendly technique-based techniques involving natural materials was developed. In this work, the microwave method has been used, where Hibiscus rosa sinensis flower extract and Myristica Fragrans have been used as reducers and stabilizers to synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles (α-Fe2O3) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO), respectively. The melting point and ultraviolet-visible spectrometer (UV-Vis) have been utilized to investigated and characterized the synthesized iron oxide and Zinc oxide nanoparticles. The results showed that the melting point of Fe2O3-NPs and ZnO-NPs were above ~300 °C, which indicated the melting of nanoparticle. Nanoparticles exhibit a significant in melting point as their size goes below ≈10 nm. in addition, the UV-Vis absorption spectra of the synthesized iron oxide NPS show peak surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band around 320 nm and Zinc oxide NPS shown peak surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band around 370 nm. The microwave method has been successfully used in this study, which has advantages over the other methods.

Systemic Failure and Systemic Change in Private and Business Law: An Introduction
Authors: Renner Moritz , Möslein Florian
Published: January 2024

European private and business law has been able to maintain its foundational principles and structures intact, while rapidly reacting to and incorporating societal change. Time and again, profound crises have threatened the project of European integration. In hindsight, many of these challenges have furthered rather than derailed this project. However, the system of European private and business law will only be able to evolve if it is able to translate the mechanisms of social change into the language of the law. The task ahead is one for different areas of private and business law, from the law of contracts to company law, but it is also a task for a new theory and methodology of private law.

Pricing the Unforeseeable: An Essay for Stefan Grundmann
Authors: P Gilette Clayton
Published: January 2024

Contract law provides a mechanism by which parties engage in private ordering by agreeing to provide performance in the future for a predetermined price. All systems of contract law, however, allow a party adversely affected by a remote event to be excused from performance under some circumstances. Many legal systems use the concept of “foreseeability” to define the circumstances that justify excuse. Traditionally, courts and commentators define foreseeability in terms of the likelihood or frequency of an event. But private ordering requires the capacity to determine whether risks are worth taking at the contractual price, a phenomenon that depends on the ability of parties to determine the expected loss from remote events. Technological developments in recent decades have dramatically altered the ability of commercial parties to predict and quantify the effects of such events. Importantly, that ability may vary among commercial actors. Contract law doctrine should evolve along with that technology and thus move from an event-based analysis of foreseeability to an agentbased one that considers the capacity of a particular actor to price risks into the contract.

Digital Revolution, Institutional Coevolution, and Legal Innovations
Authors: Kerber Wolfgang
Published: January 2024

The digital transformation “revolutionizes” entire economies and societies in a Schumpeterian sense. This paper analyzes three current policy debates with respect to the question, whether and to what extent also radical legal innovations might be necessary for ensuring a proper coevolution of the legal and regulatory framework with respect to the disruptive technological and economic change on digital markets. These discussions encompass (1) the new challenges for competition policy through the large tech firms with far-reaching reforms, e.g., the EU Digital Markets Act, (2) the new huge threats to privacy, and the serious concerns whether the data protection law instrument of “consent” can deal with this problem effectively, and (3) entirely new questions about the governance of data (data access/sharing etc.) with the development of a new (so far not existing) field of data law. In all three of these policy fields traditional legal and regulatory concepts do not seem to be sufficient any more, leading to the conclusion of the need for developing new concepts and policy approaches for ensuring a proper coevolution of the institutional framework for the economy and society.

The European System of Banking Law. A Tribute to Stefan Grundmann
Authors: Sirena Pietro
Published: January 2024

Despite its apparent fragmentation, the Union’s private law must be seen as a coherent legal system, which is constitutionally based on a mutual interplay between private liberties and market regulation and designed to achieve economic (and social) integration between the Member States. As banking law illustrates, fundamental principles and public policies tend to flow into individual rights and duties, particularly with regard to consumer protection. Since the Union’s private law has to coexist with those of the Member States, it must draw on the best instances of national cultures, which, conversely, have to traverse a process of Europeanisation. Stefan Grundmann urged scholars to equip European private law with an apparatus of legal methodology capable of ensuring its coherent interpretation and supplementation and of vouching for its unity.

The Ambitious Customs Reform Package Proposed by the EU Commission
Authors: Lux Michael
Published: January 2024

The EU Commission has presented to the European legislator (Parliament and Council) a proposal for the reform of the Union Customs Code (UCC) (as well as amendments of several other legal acts). The main features of the reform are: the creation of an EU Customs Data Hub (which will gradually replace the IT import and export clearance systems of the EU Member States), and of an EU Customs Authority responsible, inter alia, for this data hub and risk analysis based on the data thus made available, a shift from the responsibility and financial liability of the socalled declarant (who lodges the customs declaration or on whose behalf it is lodged) to the concept of a (deemed) importer as the person responsible not only for import duties but for all fiscal and non-fiscal compliance aspects (even if other persons, such as carriers or holders of storage facilities, have provided at least part of the required information to the data hub), including the responsibility for a self-assessment of import duties, an extension of benefits for Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) (in future called ‘Trust and Check traders’) who will be authorized to self-release goods, as well as a partial harmonization of customs sanctions. If adopted by the legislator, the new provisions and the creation of the EU Customs Authority will be bold steps which will bring the EU customs union to a higher level and will increase uniformity in the treatment of economic operators importing into, and exporting from, the EU Customs Union. Part of the reform package are also changes to the EU customs tariff with regard to e-commerce goods (introduction of four groups of flat rate duty, plus one for duty-free goods, abolition of the current customs duty relief for goods up to a value of EUR 150), as well as an amendment of the VAT System Directive according to which the import one-stop shop (IOSS) will be extended to e-commerce goods beyond a value of EUR 150.

Is the EU Proposal for a Bucketing System; A Simplification or a Band-aid Solution?
Authors: Doornik E.M. van
Published: January 2024

This article discusses the proposal by the European Commission to eliminate the customs duty relief threshold which is to be offset by the introduction of a simplified tariff treatment for the distance sales, the so-called bucketing system. The aim of the Proposal is to mitigate the risk of consignment splitting, to reduce the incentive for undervaluation and increase tax revenue. Furthermore, the Proposal aims to reduce the administrative burden on traders and customs authorities. As applying the bucketing system is optional for traders, the design features of the proposed system may be decisive for traders to opt for the simplification and with it the the sucessful implementation of this system. This article explains and assesses the proposal in the light of the objectives set by the European Commission and its effectiveness in achieving these objectives.
