Authors: Çankal Fatih , Demir Berin T. , Köksal Ali
Published: January 2023

INTRODUCTION:

This study aimed to describe the radiological features of omental hernias originating from the diaphragm and their localization on the diaphragm, examine their relationship with the thoracic and abdominal organs, and present guiding data to clinicians in operational planning.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This study was obtained as a result of retrospective scanning of the images of 824 patients aged 18–65 who applied for thorax and/or upper abdomen computerized tomography (CT). The patients’ thorax and upper abdomen regions were examined in detail and divided into two groups of individuals with and without hernias. Hernia types, content, localization, and effect types of patients with hernia were recorded and analyzed separately.

RESULTS:

Diaphragmatic hernia was detected in 197 (23.9%) of 824 patients. While 50.8% of these patients were female, 49.2% were male. Of the patients diagnosed with diaphragmatic hernia, 49.2% (n = 97) had Morgagni hernia, 30.5% (n = 60) had Bochdalek hernia, and 17.8% had hiatal hernia. While Morgagni hernia had anterior localization in 82.5%, Bochdalek hernia was generally localized on the left side (75.8%), and hiatal hernias were sliding type with a rate of 84.2%. The highest effect was observed in Bochdalek hernias (71.1%). Omental tissue (59.4%) was observed most frequently in Morgagni hernias, while stomach content (91.9%) was found to be the highest in hiatal hernias (P < 0.05).

DISCUSSION–CONCLUSION:

Diaphragmatic omental hernias are rare. The rarity, as well as the uncertain and nonspecific presentations, contributes to the retard in diagnosis. Commonly, the presentation in the adult age group is that of recurrent chest infection and rarely with gastroesophageal reflux and esophagitis. Physicians caring for these patients should be aware of this, and a high index of suspicion is recommended to obviate delay in diagnosis with its associated morbidity. We think the radiological features of diaphragmatic hernias should be detailed in determining and applying the optimal treatment approach. In addition, contrary to what was thought, we found that the prevalence of diaphragmatic hernia in our population is higher than that reported in the literature.

Published: January 2023

INTRODUCTION:

Littré hernia is defined as the presence of a Meckel’s diverticulum in any hernia sac. The case of an adult with Littré hernia associated with a cryptorchidic testicle in the inguinal canal has not been previously reported. Treatment of this rare case is controversial on many fronts. This report highlights the management of a case with an inguinal mixed Littré hernia and incidental cryptorchidism.

CASE PRESENTATION:

A 32-year-old male patient with an incarcerated right inguinal hernia presented to the emergency department. An incarcerated mixed Littré hernia was discovered associated with a cryptorchidic testicle. A Lichtenstein hernioplasty and an orchidopexy were performed without resection of Meckel’s diverticulum.

DISCUSSION:

There is currently no consensus on the treatment of a Littré hernia nor incidental cryptorchidism in an adult patient. Controversies arise on whether to perform diverticulectomy or not and the type of hernia repair. This case had the added unique feature of an undiagnosed cryptorchidic testicle in an adult, a pathology that also prolongs controversies on whether it is necessary to resect.

CONCLUSION:

Treatment of a Littré hernia, Meckel’s diverticulum, and cryptorchidism in adult patients continues to be a challenge. Given the lack of guidelines that establish appropriate treatment, it must be decided on a case by case basis; however, a conservative approach seems to be safe.

Published: January 2023

Background:

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory condition attributed to a complex interaction between imbalances in the gut microbiome, environmental conditions, and a deregulated immune response. The aim of the study was to investigate the composition of the gut microbiome of Saudi patients with IBD.

Methods:

After obtaining an informed consent, fecal samples were collected from 11 participants with IBD (patients) and 10 healthy individuals (controls). The bacterial components of the microbial population were identified by next-generation sequencing of partial 16S rRNA. Statistically significant dissimilarities were observed between samples for all metrics.

Results:

The key finding was three negative bacterial biomarkers, Paraprevotellaceae, the Muribaculaceae families of Bacteroidetes phylum, and the Leuconostocaceae family of Firmicutes phylum, which had a higher relative abundance in healthy individuals compared to IBD patients. It was also found that primary microbiota signatures at certain genera and species levels, including Prevotella copri, Bifidobacterium adolescentis, Ruminococcus callidus, Coprococcus sp., Ruminococcus gnavus, Dorea formicigenerans, Leuconostoc, Dialister, Catenibacterium, Eubacterium biforme, and Lactobacillus mucosae, were absent in almost all IBD patients, while Veillonella dispar was absent in all healthy individuals.

Conclusions:

The results of this study provide an overview of the variations in microbiota diversity present in Saudi IBD patients compared to healthy controls.
The Critical Role of Pharmacists in Treating Older People in the Opioid Crisis
Authors: Watanabe Jonathan H.
Published: January 2023

Pharmacy-based Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) treatment has been identified as a central pillar in curbing the spiraling opioid epidemic that claimed more than 100,000 lives in the United States in a one year period for the first time. This epidemic is also partially responsible for the plummeting US life expectancy that began prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and has now claimed more than 500,000 lives since 1999 with more than 70% of the 70,630 overdose deaths in 2019 involved with an opioid. Older people are at increased risk of both OUD and OUD-related complications. Recent studies have demonstrated that people older than 65 years of age were more likely to die of OUD-related complications, and - because of an increased likelihood of polypharmacy - are more likely to experience a drug interaction that magnifies the risk of an opioid-related misadventure.

Published: January 2023

Clinical classification of advanced schistosomiasis japonica is important for treatment options and prognosis prediction. Network analysis was used to solve the problem of complexity and co-occurrence complications in classification of advanced schistosomiasis. A total of 4,125 retrospective patients were enrolled and divided randomly into a training cohort (n = 2,888) and a validation cohort (n = 1,237). Network analysis was used to cluster the isolated complications of advanced schistosomiasis. The accuracy of the network was evaluated. Nomograms based on the clustered complications were built to predict 1- to 5-year survival rates in advanced schistosomiasis. The predictive performance of the nomogram was also evaluated and validated. Fifteen isolated complications were identified: metabolic syndromes, minimal hepatic encephalopathy, hepatic encephalopathy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary hypertension, respiratory failure, right heart failure, gastroesophageal variceal bleeding, gastrointestinal ulcer bleeding, splenomegaly, fibrosis, chronic kidney disease, ascites, colorectal polyp, and colorectal cancer. Through network analysis, three major clustered complications were achieved—namely, schistosomal abnormal metabolic syndromes (related to chronic metabolic abnormalities), schistosomal abnormal hemodynamics syndromes (related to severe portal hypertension and portosystemic shunting), and schistosomal inflammatory granulomatous syndromes (related to granulomatous inflammation). The nomograms showed a good performance in prognosis prediction of advanced schistosomiasis. The novel classification-based nomogram was useful in predicting the survival rate in advanced schistosomiasis japonica.

Rotary Screw Air Power Compressor
Authors: Rameshkumar K. , Rajesh M. , Sundaranathan R. , Sumesh A.
Published: January 2023

In this study, a statistical correlation was established among the input
parameters, namely, ambient temperature (AT), oil injection orifice (OIO) size,
and cooling fan speed with free air delivery (FAD), input power (IP), and
discharge oil temperature (DOT) of an electric-powered twin screw air
compressor. Experiments were designed based on a central composite design (CCD).
A response optimizer is used to identify the combination of input operating
parameter settings that optimizes responses independently and collectively. A
model considering all responses together with equal priorities provides the
maximum FAD of 254.71 cfm and minimum IP of 44.16 kW by setting the compressor
with an AT of 44°C, OIO size of 4.0 mm, and a cooling fan speed of 1220 rpm.
Higher ambient conditions are achieved for experimental purposes by designing a
hot chamber wherein hot air from the cooling fan exhaust is mixed with the
ambient air. Confirmatory tests are conducted to validate the statistical model
proposed in this study. The mean percentage (%) error observed for FAD, IP, and
DOT are 0.29%, 0.48%, and 1.85%, respectively. The results show that the
proposed statistical models are robust and can be used to obtain the performance
characteristics of screw compressors.
The Turbulent Lagrangian Dissipative Particle Velocity Statistics
Authors: Francis Egenti Nzerem , Chimezie Ugorji Hycinth
Published: January 2023

A statistical description of turbulence comprising a probability distribution for stationary flows is the basis for determining the nature of turbulent velocity fluctuations. Away from the Eulerian spatial increments of the velocity field, the Lagrangian notion of temporal velocity increments along particle trajectories appears to be the hob of turbulent velocity statistics, ostensibly in the presence of inherent intermittencies observable in particle tracking. Such intermittencies were analyzed by using the well-known velocity structure functions, which defer to the Kolmogorov similarity theory (KST). Since particle trajectories, under normal circumstances, submit to Gaussian statistics, the deviations from Kolmogorov similarity theory are considered a culprit in the event of intermittency.

An Applied Aspect of Swabhavoparam Vada and Hetum Hetorvartanam: A Review
Authors: Rahul Duchaneya  , Akshay Solanki  , Abhishek Upadhyay
Published: January 2023

The ancient science of Ayurveda is founded on numerous schools of thought. Given that it is an applied science, it has a scientific foundation. The Ayurveda's guiding principles were established after extensive experimentation. Because of this, these guidelines still hold true. even in the present. The modern world, however, does not exclusively adhere to religion. To persuade the academics of the veracity of these principles, rigorous observation, study, and experimentation fully backed by facts, proofs, and statistical analysis are required. A conversation of this nature is essential for thorough understanding of the topic. The greatest way to establish any subject's fundamentals is through these logics. The Vadas of Darshanas were also the source of the ideas in Swabhavoparam Vada evum Hetum-hetorvartanam. Regarding Swabhavoparam Vada, Acharya Charka used Kala as an illustration to explain the Swabhavoparam Vada idea. The Hetum-hetorvartanam, on the other hand, is in near proximity to Karya Karna Vada. Ayurveda uses both the Swabhavaparam Vada and the Hetum-Hetorvartanam principles to treat illnesses. Swabhavoparam Vada is adamant about sustaining Dhatu samya since the ailment will go away after being destroyed by nature, while Hetum-Hetorvartanum emphasises getting rid of the Hetu thus causing Hetu to disappear, which will result in the disease's cure. Therefore, an effort is made to comprehend Hetum-Hetorvartanam and Svabhavoparam Vada in relation to philosophical and practical aspects of Ayurveda.

Published: January 2023

The knowledge of anatomy in Ayurveda has been poorly understood in today’s era. The lack of sufficient literatures regarding the subject has hindered its development. Despite the hurdles, still the concept of anatomy in Ayurveda is in depth and seeking for scientific exploration. The increasing incidence of joint diseases leading towards chronicity are best being treated through Ayurveda, but the concepts behind the results are not well understood due to lack of proper knowledge in anatomy. The description of various anatomical entities has been clearly mentioned in Samhitas in Ayurveda. Sushruta Samhita, the pioneer text of Ayurveda surgery, in its Shareer Sthana primarily has described about the human body anatomy. Apart from this, Charaka Samhita, the text of medicine has also lightened regarding the anatomy. In this article, the anatomical concepts of Janu Sandhi (knee joint) are extracted from Sushruta Samhita and Charaka Samhita in order to organize the knowledge systematically. The concepts are correlated with the view of contemporary medical science and illustrated in best possible way.

Authors: Sharma Priyanka  , Sharma Parul
Published: January 2023

Infertility is the inability to conceive even after one year of regular sex without using birth control. Female infertility is a challenging topic in the society today as it not only leads to distress and depression but also may lead to disturbed family life. Premature ovarian insufficiency, polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, uterine fibroids and endometrial polyps may play a role in female infertility, ovulatory problems being the most common. Many factors like certain genetic factors, increasing age, improper nutrition, environmental pollution and increasing stress in day to day life may contribute to female infertility. In Ayurvedic literature, infertility has been described under Bandhyatva. Treatment offered by Modern Science mainly includes the use of hormonal medicines or injections and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). On the other hand Ayurvedic treatment includes Nidana Parivarjana (removal of the cause), Dietary management, Samshamana (pacificatory therapy) and Samshodhana (purification and cleansing). Basti (medicated enema) is one of the most important Samshodhana procedures which can be used in the management of female infertility as it not only balances the vitiated Dosha (three humours- Vata, Pitta, Kapha) but also provides nutrition hence correcting the overall condition of the patient.

Kadara is a Kshudra Roga, first mentioned by Acharya Sushruta. It is a condition which causes extreme pain and discomfort to the affected person. Kadara may be correlated to Corn based on the causative factors, site of the swelling, clinical and other features. The incidence of corn in India is more than 10 million cases per year. The treatment modalities available at present in the modern science are the usage of corn caps, salicylic acid paints, cryotherapy and surgical excision. All theses modalities are associated with a high rate of recurrence. Snehadahana is mentioned as the line of management in Kadara after Utkarthana by all the Acharyas. Acharya Bhoja specifically mentions Tila Thaila as the Sneha dravya to be used for Agnikarma. In the present study, a 53 year old female patient, who visited the OPD of Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Ayurveda College and Hospital with a case of Kadara, was selected for Snehadahana. Chedana was done prior to Snehadahana. The procedure was carried out as 4 sittings, once a week, for a period of 4 weeks. Two follow ups were done at an interval of 14 days, after the fourth sitting of Snehadahana. There was complete healing of the wound and no recurrence seen until the follow up period.

Medicinal plants have been used in all cultures as a source of medicine since ages. When parts of plants such as rhizomes, leaves or barks and other natural materials are used as drugs to treat illnesses, they are called crude drugs and the study of crude drugs is called pharmacognosy. Proximate analysis in plants gives valuable information and help to assess the quality of a crude drug. Beneficial effects of crude drugs are believed to be attributed to plant phytochemicals. Hedychium coronarium J. Koenig, a medicinal and aromatic plant of high value is an endangered and red-listed plant. The rhizome of this plant is used for the treatment of various diseases. Crude extracts prepared from the rhizomes show antibacterial and antifungal properties. Essential oils obtained from Hedychium coronarium are found to be rich in terpenes and used for bactericidal, fungicidal, medicinal and cosmetic applications. The present study assesses the quality of crude drugs prepared from this highly medicinal plant. Proximate analysis and phytochemical screening of rhizomes of Hedychium coronarium, which is frequently consumed as food and as medicine were carried out. Ash content was found to be low) when compared to the moisture content. The water extractive value was more than alcohol extractive. Preliminary tests carried out on phytochemicals revealed the presence of terpenoids and oils. High Resolution Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometry was carried to ascertain the different components of essential oils and revealed the presence of eucalyptol (1,8-cineole), caryophyllene oxide, camphor, linoleic acid, ricinin, phloroglucinol, 6-gingerol, carvone and arjungenin.

There were excellent Visha vaidhyas who used to treat extreme venomous conditions and even predict the condition of patient just through the Dootha lakshana. As a part of these practices, there were numerous textbooks on Visha chikitsa with unique and exclusive Yogas. Some of the books got maintained, and many got ruined. Among those only few practices are still in use in the management if Visha and still many are untouched. Prayoga samucchaya is a well-known traditional Keraleeya Visha chikitsa textbook written by renowned King Kochunni thamburan, which explains the concepts of Visha and its detail management. Lootha visha is a most frequent and important clinical condition that which a physician encounters in their daily practice. It has got importance in all the time, as its manifestation is in such a way that improper handling of the case may worsen the presentation. There many Agada yogas mentioned in the management of Lootha visha. Lasunadi Agada is a simple yoga explained in Prayoga samucchaya, which contains only 6 drugs, explained in the context of Lootha samanya chikitsa as Pana and Nasya. Presently this yoga is practicing in the name of Lasunadi gulika. So this paper is an attempt to review on the formulation Lasunadi Agada.

Published: January 2023

Iklan pada hakikatnya merupakan pesan yang disampaikan oleh komunikator ke khalayak untuk mengenalkan produk barang dan jasa.  Iklan bersifat memengaruhi seseorang agar tertarik untuk menggunakan produk tersebut. Namun, kebanyakan iklan dalam menyampaikan pesan belum  berperspektif gender. Padahal iklan dengan visualisasinya dapat memengaruhi khalayak.  Kenyataannya, peran wanita serta laki-laki selalu membuat laki-laki merasa lebih tinggi kedudukannya dari wanita seringkali akan menjadi  'hidup' dalam periklanan. Padahal jika dilihat dari hak asasi manusia  tidak ada perbedaan yang mendasar dalam peran wanita dan laki-laki di media. Visualisasi iklan yang demikian lebih memperkuat sistem patriarki yang selama ini sudah ada dalam masyarakat. Metode penelitian yang digunakan deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data wawancara.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perempuan di tayangan iklan televisi belum mendorong kesetaraan gender. Perempuan masih menjadi objek dalam media yang ditampilkan dari sisi seksualitas dan daya tarik fisik bukan potensi intelektualitas yang dimiliki.
Weather reactions in persons with respiratory diseases who lives in conditions of the marine climate of Vladivostok
Authors: Veremchuk Ludmila V. , Vitkina Tatyana I. , Mineeva Elena E. , Barskova Lyudmila S. , Gvozdenko Tatyana A.
Published: January 2023

Introduction. The high prevalence of respiratory diseases is largely due to climate change. Violation of the adaptive-compensatory capabilities of the body, causing an inadequate response of homeostatic systems, is largely determined by a person’s short-term meteorological response to dramatically changing weather conditions. Materials and methods. The study included a control group (one hundred sixty three people), individuals with bronchial asthma (BA) (221 case) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (148 patients). Short-term (± 1 day) meteor reaction of the respiratory function, cardiovascular and immune systems was assessed. The day of the examination was evaluated as a synchronous meteorological reaction, 1 day before the examination - a follow-up and 1 day after - a signal reaction. There was calculated an integral indicator (Dm%) which determines the percentage of correlations (r at p<0.05) relative to the total amount (r) in the correlation matrix. Results. The compensatory capabilities of the cardio-respiratory and immune systems under the influence of weather conditions in the healthy population of the city are significantly higher than in COPD and BA cases. Day-to-day changes in weather conditions have the greatest negative impact on the respiratory system, especially in BA and COPD patients The least resistance of the organism was noted under the synchronous action of meteorological components. The greatest compensatory response was established during the signal meteoreaction. Limitations. A limitation is that the study identified a meteorological response in a specific area under a maritime monsoonal climate. Conclusion. The healthy population of the city is the most adapted to the local climate. In persons with respiratory diseases, the system of external respiratory is the most vulnerable. In the short-term consideration of the weather-induced reaction, the synchronous position exhibits the greatest negative effect on the main functional systems.

Introduction. The exposure to industrial aerosols triggers the response of the adaptive and innate mucosal immunity in the upper airways. Objective: To analyze the impact of work-related risk factors on the development of local mucosal immunity in workers engaged in extraction of vanadium-bearing iron ore, and cast iron and steel production. Materials and methods. We examined one thousand five hundred forty seven male workers of two mining and metallurgical industries. The first cohort included 788 vanadium-bearing iron ore miners and the second cohort comprised 719 cast iron and steel production workers, both standardized by age and years of employment. Occupational risk factors identified in both cohorts included the exposure to fibrous aerosols and aliphatic hydrocarbons, and poor microclimate (high or low air temperature) at workplaces. The workers of the second cohort were also exposed to manganese compounds, vanadium (V) oxide, chromium, nickel, and iron compounds. The control group consisted of 40 engineering and technical personnel. Results. A significant increase in secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) was detected in the miners exposed to aliphatic hydrocarbons and low air temperature. In the ferrous metallurgy workers, the exposure to low air temperature, crystalline silicon, and aliphatic hydrocarbons caused a significant decrease in the level of sIgA while the exposure to manganese oxides induced a decrease in the bactericidal function of neutrophils. Limitations. The main limitations of the research were related to the selected criterion of inclusion in the merged occupational cohorts with account for exposure to adverse microclimate parameters, silicon-containing aerosols, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and manganese compounds. In view of the multiplicity of occupational risk factors in the industry, it is important to conduct additional studies of a larger sample for qualitative and quantitative presentation of convincing evidence of health effects of other factors of the work environment. Conclusions: We established a multidirectional response of the mucosal immunity to production factors in the examined workers. A combined exposure to chemical and physical occupational factors has a stronger health effect than a single one. Differences in the level of sIgA in workers exposed to different occupational hazards prove the advisability of an in-depth immunological examination combined with an assessment of the functional status as indicators of occupational adaptation.

Introduction. Industrial pollution of the workplace air and the environment with lead oxide nanoparticles (PbO NPs) poses the risk of neurodegenerative diseases in workers of lead and copper smelters and the population living around these enterprises. Various studies showed the involvement of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor expression in the mechanisms of lead toxicity. Materials and methods. During two months, outbred female rats were exposed to lead nanoparticles (PbO NPs) at a concentration of 0.2 mg/m3 in a “nose-only” inhalation exposure system. The behavioral responses of the rats were assessed using the open field and the elevated plus maze tests. Quantitative expression of the NMDA receptor genes (GRIN1, GRIN2A, GRIN2B) in the rat hippocampus was assessed using a real-time PCR. Statistical data analysis was carried out using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results. The neurotoxic effect of PbO NPs manifested itself in the suppression of GRIN2A gene expression in the hippocampus of experimental rats. The expression of the GRIN1 gene also showed a tendency to decrease in rats under effect of PbO NPs, while the expression of the GRIN2B gene did not change. The results of the open field test did not reveal any differences between the experimental and control groups of rats. The elevated plus maze test revealed a significant decrease in the number of entries into the open arms of the maze in rats from the experimental group. Limitations. This work was performed on female Wistar rats and does not take into account possible inter-gender differences. Conclusion. The results of the experiment demonstrated the neurotoxic effect of PbO NPs including the reduced expression level of the GRIN2A gene of the NMDA receptor and a decrease in the proportion of time spent in the open arms in the elevated plus maze test.
In Technology We Trust? The Present and Possible Future of Private Enforcement
Authors:   Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary (Budapest, Hungary), Osztovits András
Published: January 2023

In the course of this study, the author examines the current and possible future implementations of advanced information and communication technologies from the point of view of private enforcement (adjudication) and specifically the way in which they may contribute to reducing the time and resource requirements of the judiciary. Firstly, the major challenges of the current judiciary are presented, including the overbearing dogmatic approach to old principles of adjudication, resulting in a timeconsuming, costly, labyrinthine, and unpredictable procedure, opening the way to private adjudication achieved via online platforms. In order for state adjudication to survive, modern technologies must be employed to achieve a data-based form of judicial process that is resource-efficient for the users of this ‘service’, while also guaranteeing a fair trial (albeit by electronic means). Such methods would include deployment of information and communication technology tools to aid court–party and party–party communication, using implementations of the blockchain to prevent evidence tampering, renouncing paper-based procedures, and embracing AI-assisted adjudication. Numerous examples of such solutions are provided, with some of their risks also emphasized such as the ‘black box’ phenomenon applicable to AI systems. The author concludes by stating that if private enforcement in the form of judiciary is to survive, it must become competitive with the dispute resolution options now being put forward by private actors.

Authors:   Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Faculty of Law and Political Sciences (Budapest, Hungary), Suri Noémi ,   Mádl Ferenc Institute (Budapest, Hungary)
Published: January 2023

The author outlines in her study the main non-contentious (nonlitigious) procedures under Hungarian law that are governed by special norms in conjunction with those of the Code of Civil Procedure and that now employ electronic means for submitting requests and documents, as well as for communication with the parties and service of procedure. The main procedures examined are those instituted by the new Hungarian Code of Civil Procedure itself and those pertinent to procedures before the Company Register, during insolvency procedures and during the registration of entities comprising non-governmental organizations and other manifestations of the civil society. The author concludes that the most significant non-litigious procedures now employ means of electronic communication.
The British Isles and the Arctic Circle: Episodes from the Past and Present
Authors:   University of Debrecen (Debrecen, Hungary), Haitas Daniel
Published: January 2023

This study deals with aspects of Britain’s engagement with the region of the Arctic Circle, both in times past and during the present period. With regard to the past, it specifically looks at English and Scottish engagement with the area of Spitsbergen (present-day Svalbard, Norway), with a focus on exploration and whaling activities, and the competition that subsequently ensued with other European powers as a result. This also involves looking at legal issues that arose over time with regard to the archipelago. Furthermore, it examines how Svalbard has now once again become a source of contention, specifically between the European Union and Norway as a result of the allocation of fishing quotas that came about due to Brexit. This has caused tensions between the two entities, with both sides utilizing legal arguments to justify and bolster their positions. This incident is yet another example of the far-reaching impact that the restructuring of EU–UK relations has had as a result of the latter’s departure from the former. Lastly, the article also surveys British engagement with the Arctic region at the present time, including Scotland’s attempt at articulating an independent policy of engagement for itself with regard to the area.

Why Should Company Law Be Renewed From Time to Time?
Authors:   Széchenyi István University, Deák Ferenc Faculty of Law, Department of Commercial and Agrarian Law, Győr, Szegedi András
Published: January 2023

Is it necessary to renew the regulation of company law from time to time? On the one hand, company law reacts with its regulative environment, therefore the constant amendment, improvement of its rules seems reasonable. Yet, on the other hand, the core of company law is pure and stable, and there is no need to reinvent it. Hungarian company law has always been subject of constant modifi cations, yet we regard only three instances for its true renewal. The fi rst was the coming into force of the fi rst Act on Business Associations in 1988, which served as the means for the creation of market capitalism and thus led to the political changes that followed. The second was the coming into force of the Civil Code in 2014, which implemented a mainly default approach in the regulation of legal persons, a clear principle providing a wide range of freedom for legal entities in their internal affairs. The third, however, was not a planned and designed renewal, as it was forced by the new coronavirus pandemic. The rules to apply in the crisis overwrote even some of the hard-core rules of company law for the sake of fl exibility and simplicity – is it going to be the next trend in the course of renewal?
