La lumière d’Israël chez Nelly Sachs
Authors: Lerousseau Andrée
Published: June 2024

S’appuyant en priorité sur le recueil Sternverdunkelung (Éclipse d’étoile), publié en 1949, et sur la correspondance de Nelly Sachs, et soulignant sa proximité avec Buber, l’article analyse la signification que revêt Israël pour la poétesse d’origine juive de langue allemande qui trouve refuge à Stockholm en mai 1940, échappant de justesse à la déportation. L’accent est ainsi mis sur sa vision de la « Terre d’Israël », sur la « voix d’Israël » dont elle se fait le porte-parole dans la première partie de son œuvre, couronnée en 1966 du Prix Nobel de littérature, et sur la mission particulière à visée universelle qui incombe selon elle au peuple juif, à l’État d’Israël dont elle célèbre la fondation, et par-delà à l’humanité tout entière.
Postfazione. La fragilità della sovranità tra colonialismi ed epistemologie dei sud del mondo
Authors: Cuturi Flavia
Published: June 2024

Il contributo si propone di mettere in luce dinamiche e processi che accomunano gli articoli presenti nel dossier monografico, dedicati alla sovranità, sicurezza e sostenibilità alimentare in diversi contesti insulari. Focalizzandosi sulle intersezioni tra tali processi e forme di colonialismo attuali e del passato, l’intento del lavoro è delineare la complessità storico-relazionale tra dipendenza e autonomia nella catena di approvvigionamento alimentare, evidenziando le comuni "ferite" socio-ambientali radicate in una storia di dominazione coloniale e di persistente discriminazione. Attraverso uno sguardo diacronico e posizionato, l’obiettivo è far dialogare le nozioni di “terraformazione” e “colonialità” con le diverse epistemologie e ontologie dei sud del mondo rappresentati dai contesti insulari proposti nel dossier; in essi la sovranità alimentare, la marginalizzazione e l’“isolamento”, frutto di pratiche endocoloniali che perpetuano disuguaglianze e conflitti socio-ambientali, si coniugano con forme di resistenza, di difesa dell’autonomia territoriale, della rivendicazione della salute e del benessere. Il contributo propone, come sintesi, una immersione etnografica nella complessa situazione vissuta dagli ikoots di San Mateo del Mar (Oaxaca, Messico) posti di fronte a difficili scelte di vita, oppressi dalla minaccia rappresentata da imponenti progetti di sviluppo governativi insostenibili.
La transition en tension : comment les supermarchés coopératifs et participatifs mettent-ils en œuvre le changement social ?
Authors: Romdhani Ali , Garcia Guglielmo Fernandez , Audet René
Published: June 2024

On observe en France depuis une décennie un fort engouement pour le modèle des supermarchés participatifs et coopératifs (SCP) qui proposent aux citoyens de se réapproprier la distribution alimentaire pour offrir des produits de qualité à juste prix. À partir de l’étude de cas de Breizhicoop à Rennes (France), notre objectif est de démontrer comment s’articule un récit de changement social autour de deux tensions structurantes : l’offre de produit et la gestion du magasin. De ces résultats, nous discutons deux limites adressées aux SCP, à savoir la reproduction de l’organisation entrepreneuriale classique et la formation d’un entre-soi homogène et exclusif. Nous adressons plusieurs apprentissages pour la transition socioécologique.
Les Monnaies locales
Authors: Cauvet Marion , Perrissin Fabert Baptiste
Published: June 2024

De nombreuses initiatives citoyennes de monnaies locales et complémentaires ont vu le jour à travers le monde en réaction à la crise des subprimes de 2007-2008 et à l’impuissance des gouvernements à prévenir la débâcle financière et économique qui a suivi. En France, des milliers de citoyens ont choisi de ne plus utiliser la seule monnaie centrale pour effectuer leurs transactions et leurs échanges.Après avoir dressé un panorama de ces expériences monétaires pionnières et exploré leur potentiel ainsi que leurs limites, les auteurs examinent différents leviers pouvant permettre à ces initiatives de changer d’échelle et d’intégrer des mécanismes de financement et de gouvernance efficaces au service de la transition écologique et sociale des territoires.
Prevalence and correlates of complementary and alternative medicine utilization among infertile women attending selected fertility clinics in Khartoum state
Authors: Elmahdy Masani , Nasor Faiza Ali
Published: June 2024

Infertility poses multifaceted challenges, prompting many women to explore complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). This study investigated CAM prevalence and types among infertile women in Khartoum. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 253 women. Data was collected through structured interviews, and descriptive and inferential statistics, with a significance level set at p>0.05. The mean age of the participants was 31.59±6.9 years, with 53.8% being graduates, 54.5% diagnosed with primary infertility, and 45.5% with secondary infertility. CAM usage was reported by 52.2% of participants, with herbal treatments being the most prevalent (e.g., fenugreek 26.9%, argell 20.2%). Spiritual healing (11.4%) and folkloric methods (9.5%) were also noted. Most users (76.5%) did not disclose CAM usage to healthcare providers, citing beliefs in safety (56.8%) and effectiveness (39.4%). Family (72%) and friends (46%) significantly influenced CAM use. Infertility duration and rural residence were associated with CAM usage (p=0.002). The study underscores a high prevalence of CAM usage among Sudanese infertile women, primarily herbal remedies, and emphasizes the importance of healthcare providers engaging patients in CAM utilization.

Frequency-Based Substructuring for Virtual Prediction and Uncertainty Quantification of Thin-Walled Vehicle Seat Structures
Authors: Wagner Philipp , Langer Patrick , Mäder Marcus , Marburg Steffen
Published: June 2024

Dynamic substructuring enables the dynamic behavior analysis of intricate systems. In this context, the precise description of individual subsystem interfaces is crucial. Coupling components through virtual points is suitable, especially when it comes to experimental substructuring. The complex contact situations that arise from joint descriptions in thin-walled structures, like those found in vehicle seats, present a challenging task. This investigation aims to visualize the complex coupling of thin-walled structures by applying the virtual point transformation. Individual subsystems are analyzed through experiments and coupled using the Lagrange multiplier frequency-based substructuring to achieve this goal. For validation purposes, a completely assembled vehicle seat has been investigated. Identification of the connecting elements between the substructures is achieved using decoupling techniques. As a result, the stiffness of the sleeve can be determined through various approaches to decoupling and measurement configurations. However, the transfer functions obtained tend to be overestimated, especially for thin-walled structures. One of the main conclusions highlights the correlation between the number of virtual points and the resulting accuracy of the coupled transfer function results.
Active Vibration Control System for Attenuation of Structure Borne Road Noise by Tire Cavity Resonance Using Piezoelectric Stack Actuators

Published: June 2024

This paper presents the novel active vibration control (AVC) system that controls vehicle body vibration to reduce the structural borne road noise. As a result of vehicle noise testing in a test vehicle, the predominant frequency of vehicle body vibration that worsens interior noise is in the range under 500Hz. Such vibration in that frequency range, commonly masked in engine vibrations, are hard to neglect for motor driven vehicles. The vibration source of that frequency is the resonance of tire cavity mode. Resonator or absorption material has been applied inside the tire for the control of cavity noise as a passive method. They require an increment of weight and cost. Therefore, a novel method is necessary. The vibration amplified by resonance of cavity mode is transferred to the vehicle body throughout the suspension system. To reduce the vibration, AVC system is applied to the suspension mount. The AVC system consists of one actuator, two vibration sensors and one reference vibration sensor based on feed forward control and its technical validation is performed on the test rig of a car suspension system. As novel work for the successful control of the AVC system, firstly, ring-type piezoelectric stack actuator suitable for this AVC system was developed and mounted inside the suspension mount bolt. Secondly, the mount location of the reference accelerometer was selected based on the coherence method. Filter length of the adaptive filter used for the FxLMS algorithm was optimized based on concept on optimized filter length. The developed AVC system could suppress the vibration level (-6dB) caused by the tire resonance at the target frequency band. The proposed AVC system will provide a novel modality to enhance the quality of noise and vibration in motor driven vehicles by actively controlling tire-induced structural vibrations.
A New Evaluation Approach for NVH Efficiency of E-Drive Encapsulations
Authors: Schecker Daniel , Uerlings Peter , Gojo Josef , Graf Bernhard
Published: June 2024

Encapsulations of E-drive systems are gaining importance in electric mobility, since they are a simple measure to improve the noise behavior of the drive.

Current experimental evaluation methods, however, pose substantial challenges for the test personnel and are associated with considerable effort in both time and cost. Evaluating the encapsulation on an e-drive test bed, for example, requires a functional e-drive and test bed resources. Evaluations in the vehicle on the other hand make objective assessments difficult and are subject to increasingly limited availability of prototype vehicles fit for NVH testing.

To overcome these challenges, AVL has developed a new experimental evaluation method for the NVH efficiency of e-drive encapsulations.

In this method, the e-drive is freely suspended in a semi-anechoic chamber and its structure is excited using shakers while the radiated noise with and without encapsulation is measured. The NVH efficiency of the encapsulation is evaluated by analyzing the respective transfer functions using simple computational methods. This approach is particularly suitable for conducting initial development iterations or for benchmarking.
Assessing Heavy Duty Vehicle CO
2
Emissions for Qualification as a Zero Emissions Vehicle
Authors: Mumford David K. , Williams Graham , Leclercq Nadege
Published: June 2024

The global transportation industry, and road freight in particular, faces formidable challenges in reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions; both Europe and the US have already enabled legislation with CO2 / GHG reduction targets. In Europe, targets are set on a fleet level basis: a CO2 baseline has already been established using Heavy Duty Vehicle (HDV) data collected and analyzed by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in 2019/2020. This baseline data has been published as the reference for the required CO2 reductions. More recently, the EU has proposed a Zero Emissions Vehicle definition of 3g CO2/t-km. The Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) designation is expected to be key to a number of market instruments that improve the economics and practicality of hydrogen trucks. This paper assesses the permissible amount of carbon-based fuel in hydrogen fueled vehicles – the Pilot Energy Ratio (PER) – for each regulated subgroup of HDVs in the baseline data set. The analysis indicates that a PER of ~4% is required to address the key long-haul groups (5LH, 9LH and 10LH) and potentially some Regional Distribution vehicles, but that much lower PERs are required for most of the Regional and Urban Delivery vehicles in this group. The assessment then looks at the impact of the actual vehicle configuration and identifies features impacting the PER such as rear axle ratio; for example, an engine may be capable of meeting the Zero Emissions requirement, but rear axle ratios greater than 3 may still cause a specific vehicle configuration to exceed 3g/t-km of CO2. The paper concludes by assessing the existing technology options to meet the ZEV requirements and the current state of these technologies against the required PER target.
African Pentecostalism and Ecological Spirituality: Liturgy and Supplication from a Pneumatology Perspective
Authors: Ngwena Patricia Dudu
Published: June 2024

The article substantiates to highlight the importance of Pentecostal hermeneutic reference to liturgy, pneumatology, and ecclesiology. African Pentecostals worship in a manner that embodies the Holy Spirit in all aspect of worship, bearing in mind interactive acts which connects the worshipping community together with the living God and not a faraway saviour of humanity, but God all of creation. All of creation responds to the creator in worship and adoration. This brings to the fore the pervasiveness of the Spirit as the spring of life, on which the interrelated, interconnectedness and full participation of all of creation hinges. Communities are bound together by their charismatic Pentecostal experiences and common acquaintance particularly with
alienation and biased judgement based on ecclesiological views and radical spirituality. While Pentecostal hermeneutics fueled by works of the Holy Spirit is distinct from other hermeneutics, the danger is when Scriptures are mis-interpreted and used out of context. Spirituality conveys an amalgamated integral or component analysis regarding its historical background, interpretation, and practice. African spirituality is therefore, understood ‘as a collective entity’ It is expressed within the connectedness of individuals, groups of people which forms the community. Therefore,
individual spirituality within an African context is practised in a way that ensures the wellbeing of the entire community. In practicality it involves one’s immersion into the livelihoods within the shared space through participation in one’s community (Magesa, 2010:71). African spirituality is basically a moral obligation related to African lifeworlds and religiosity within the community at large. Ecological spirituality from the African context becomes the unifying power between humanity and the natural world by enhancing relations and accountability towards the earth community. Ecological spiritually brings forth the depth of ethics exhibiting highlighting environmental concerns intrinsically and inextricably are intertwined (Ngwena, 2021:56).
Entry-Level Occupational Therapy Student Volunteer Activities During COVID-19 and Beliefs about Practitioner Roles in Crisis Management
Authors: Biller Olivia , Calingo Frances , DeAngelis Tina , Capron Maclain
Published: June 2024

Background: Due to the global novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many students in entry-level occupational therapy programs faced changes to their daily roles, habits, and routines. To understand beliefs about OT practitioner roles in a public health crisis, a cross-sectional study was designed to understand occupational therapy students (OTS) and occupational therapy assistant students (OTAS) volunteer activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: A survey was developed and distributed in April 2020, and closed after five weeks. Quantitative data was analyzed in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (Version 27) and open response data was categorized in Microsoft Excel.

Results: Respondents included students from entry-level OT/OTA accredited programs such as occupational therapy doctorate, entry level master’s, bachelor’s to master’s and occupational therapy assistant (n=853, 2.8% of OTS/OTAS population). Nearly all respondents endorsed that OT practitioners have at least one role during a crisis (n=851, 99.8%) and after a crisis (n=848, 99.4%) like COVID-19. A minority of students volunteered in response to COVID-19 (n=60, 7.0%). Volunteer activities addressed clinical work, food insecurity, loneliness, social justice, healthcare workers, COVID-19 transmission, and personal protective equipment. Inspirations for volunteering included altruism, justice, personal responsibility, changes to routines, calls to action, and fulfilling obligations.

Discussion: It is hoped that this study serves as a springboard for future research related to the OTS/OTAS response to COVID-19. Educators can prepare students for future public health emergencies by exposing them to information regarding OT’s role in disaster management.
Das undisziplinierte Kinderzimmer: Ethnographische Erkundungen zur Geschichtskultur im Privaten
Authors: Kühberger Christoph
Published: June 2024

Dem »wilden historischen Denken« auf der Spur. Kinder sind in ihren Zimmern von einer Vielzahl geschichtskultureller Produkte umgeben, die ihr Nachdenken über und ihr Imaginieren von Vergangenheit prägen. Kinderzimmer sind daher als informelle Lernorte zu verstehen, an denen individuelle Vorstellungen ohne Regeln sprießen und wo an eigenen Verständnissen von Welt gebastelt wird. Über einen ethnographischen Zugriff auf diese Geschichtskultur im Privaten eröffnet sich ein kulturanthropologisches Panorama eines (pop)kulturellen Überangebots und dessen Rezeption. Dabei sind vor allem die im Feld anzutreffenden »Geschichtsdinge« (Spielzeug, Bilder, Bücher etc.) wichtig: Gerade durch sie wird die alltägliche Praxis des Umgangs von Kindern mit dem Historischen deutlich. Wie Kinder die Angebote der Geschichtsdinge (er-)fühlen, erleben und annehmen, zeugt von einem eigenartigen historischen Denken zwischen Vergegenwärtigung und Abstraktion in der kindlichen Lebenswelt. Es hat den Anschein, dass Vermittlung von Geschichte neu gedacht werden muss, da man in den Kinderzimmern auf ein »wildes historisches Denken« stößt, das vom disziplinierten wissenschaftsorientierten Denken weitgehend ignoriert wird.
A Rooftop Agrivoltaic System: Pollinator Plant Establishment
Authors:   Colorado State University, Hickey Thomas , Chavez Maria ,   Colorado State University, Bousselot Jennifer ,   Colorado State University
Published: June 2024

In a time of rapid habitat removal in favor of urbanization, green roofs have been recognized as a means to increase biodiversity while emulating native habitats in urban ecosystems. There is often competition over roof space for use as solar energy generation, or green roof space. Here we explore the inclusion of both green roof and photovoltaic (PV) energy generation systems stacked vertically in a rooftop system to better understand the impacts of PV arrays on six species of pollinator plants native to Colorado’s Front Range and Great Plains Regions. We conducted randomized and replicated plant establishment and growth studies in a simulated rooftop system in full sun and under a fixed mounted PV array over the course of the initial growing season. Additionally, we measured the plant growing environment, including air temperature, substrate temperature, and substrate moisture to quantify the differences in the conditions in full sun compared to conditions under the PV arrays. Light conditions were modeled. We find plant establishment and overwinter survivability is greater under the PV array, while the seasonal plant growth index varies depending on the plant species. Substrate moisture was significantly higher under the PV while substrate temperature trended towards lower daytime temperatures and slightly raised nighttime temperatures under the PV. Based on this study, the microclimate under the PV array is amenable to plant growth, and differences in plant response to the shade may closely resemble ecotones found in nature. The combination of rooftop agrivoltaics and traditional full sun green roof plantings may lead to greater native plant establishment, and therefore greater diversity of habitat niches in the built environment.

A STUDY OF MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION IN PUNARNAVA MANDURA
Authors: Tewari Vimal , Tewari Deepika , Tewari Vineeta
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Herbal medicines are being used extensively in many countries to treat many diseases, as seen in the COVID-19 pandemic, so the global market for herbal medicines has grown suddenly. In India, under the Ayurveda system of medicine, apart from plants, animal and mineral products have also been used as medicine since long ago. Both herbal and animal products contain primarily organic components; therefore, like food in-gredients (biological ingredients), herbal medicine and animal products are at risk of microbial growth and con-tamination. Punarnava Mandura is a popular Ayurvedic medicine described in various classical and authoritative texts of Ayurveda. It is a perfect example of a medicine made from substances derived from plants, minerals, and animals. It contains Mandura Bhasma as a mineral component apart from other herbal ingredients, while cow urine (Gomutra) is of animal origin. It is widely used in infectious and non-infectious fever, cold, indigestion, and other diseases of the Gastrointestinal tract. Microbial contamination of medicines is defined as the unintend-ed habitation of pathogenic microbes that cause their degradation. In pharmaceutics, various factors may be a source of microbes, including the ingredients of drugs, manpower, machines, and the environment of the phar-macy. Microbial contamination is a pertinent issue and essential in quality control steps in pharmaceutical man-ufacturing and food processing. Microbial contamination of medicines and food products may also affect human health. Objective: The primary aim and purpose of the present study was to determine the microbial contamina-tion of an Ayurvedic Herbo-mineral drug sample of Punarnava Mandura. Material and methods: The drug sam-ple (Self-made) was made in the institute pharmacy. Another drug sample (market sample) of Punarnava Man-dura of a pharmacy was also kept as a control to compare the results. Quantitative and qualitative assessment of microbial loads in Punarnava Mandura was assessed. The following strains of microbes: E. Coli, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Fungus, and Total viable aerobic bacterial count were evaluated. Results: Both the samples of Punarnava Mandura have shown an insignificant load of selected microbes.

Trisutra Ayurved is of prime importance while treating a patient. Hetu (causative factors), Linga (signs and symptoms) and Aushadhi (medicine) are considered as Trisutra Ayurved. Aushadh Sevan Kala is the type of Avasthika
Kala meant for the proper time of drug administration. Aushadh Sevan Kala will help with food and drug interaction, which is helpful to attain quick and sustainable relief for the patient. Kala (time) is an essential factor to consider during treatment. Our acharyas have explained the relationship of Kaala and Dosha while treating a disease.
In the present era, this relationship is not considered while treating a patient.
ROLE OF TRAYOPASTAMBHA IN MENTAL HEALTH

Published: June 2024

The combination of body, sense, mind, and soul results in the existence of a living being. The district nature of
Manas (psyche) and Sharira (body), as well as their mutual independence, have been adequately acknowledged
by Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda, health includes mental wellness as an essential component; even the

CONCEPT OF VIRUDDHA AAHARA IN ACCORDANCE WITH TODAY’S SCENARIO – A REVIEW
Authors: Sharma Priyanka , Dhakatia Ayushi , Manyala Shanti
Published: June 2024

Viruddha Ahara, an ancient concept in Ayurveda, elucidates the adverse effects of incompatible food combina-tions on health. While rooted in traditional wisdom, its relevance persists in contemporary dietary practices. This abstract explores the concept of Viruddha Ahara in today's scenario, shedding light on its significance amidst evolving dietary trends and lifestyles. In the modern era, the accessibility to diverse cuisines and the fusion of culinary traditions have led to the adoption of novel nutritional habits. However, amidst this culinary diversity, the principles of food compatibility outlined in Viruddha Ahara remain pertinent. The ingestion of incompatible food combinations can disrupt the digestive process, leading to various health complications such as indigestion, bloating, and nutrient malabsorption.
Furthermore, the prevalence of processed foods and fast-paced lifestyles has accentuated the consumption of con-venience foods, often comprising ingredients that may clash in terms of their properties and effects on the body. Moreover, the rise of dietary fats and restrictive eating patterns has spurred the popularity of unconventional food combinations in pursuit of purported health benefits. However, the indiscriminate amalgamation of foods without considering their compatibility can undermine nutritional balance and compromise overall well-being.
Integrating the principles of food compatibility into contemporary nutrition education and dietary guidelines can empower individuals to make informed choices that support optimal digestion and health. Embracing a holistic approach to nutrition that honours traditional wisdom and scientific insights can foster a balanced relationship with food, promoting vitality and resilience in today's fast-paced world.

Melasma is a common skin problem in which brown to grey–brown patches usually appear on the face. The most common areas are cheeks, bridge of the nose, forehead, chin and above the upper lip.
It is caused due to the changing lifestyle, unhealthy dietary habits, sleep disturbances, systemic diseases, medi-cation and stressful life.
In the Ayurvedic classics, Vyanga is mentioned, described under Kshudraroga under Twak roga, which can be compared with melasma. As per the Ayurvedic classics, Vyanga is a condition where vata pitta dosha as well as Mansika nidana, such as krodha, shoka, and ayasa, are the main culprits.
In Ayurveda, several remedies are described for the treatment of this disease. The drugs for internal purposes and the drugs for external purposes with Raktaprasadak, Twakprasadaka, and Varnakarak properties are helpful in managing Vyanga, which, on the other hand, helps in rakta shodhan (blood purification).

Authors: Biswas Tushar , Singh Vineeta , Chowdhury Kanchan
Published: June 2024

Background: Hair health is a multifaceted aspect of human well-being, encompassing various physiological, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Numerous factors, including family history (heredity), hormonal changes during and after pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid disorder, are known to contribute to hair illnesses in contemporary medicine. Owing to the limitations and adverse effects of modern treatment, some hopeful out-comes from Ayurveda are anticipated. According to the Ayurvedic view, disturbance of Trisdosa (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) is the main reason for common hair diseases, i.e. Aakal-Palitya, Khalitya and Darunaka with its curative and preventive methods like Pathya-Apathya, Nasya, Murdha taila, Lepa, etc. Ayurveda has a lot of potential in treating these illnesses. Aim: This abstract aim to elucidate the significance of holistic approaches in Ayurveda for promoting hair health, outlining the essential practices, routines, and lifestyle adjustments recom-mended for individuals to achieve vibrant and resilient hair.
Methodology: To gather information on Ayurvedic perspectives on hair health, a comprehensive review of clas-sical Ayurvedic texts such as Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Hridaya, and Bhavprakash, as well as contemporary literature and clinical studies, was conducted. Discussion: Ayurveda considers hair health as a reflection of overall well-being, influenced by the balance of the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and the proper functioning of bodily tissues (Dhatus) and metabolic processes (Agnis). Daily regimens for hair care en-compass a range of practices tailored to individual constitutions and hair types. These may include oil massage (Abhyanga) of the scalp and hair with herbal oils, gentle cleansing using natural cleansers, such as herbal pow-ders (Shikakai, Reetha), maintaining scalp hygiene, nourishing the scalp, strengthening hair roots, preventing premature greying, treat conditions such as hair loss, dandruff, and scalp infections and following dietary and lifestyle guidelines conducive to hair health. Abhyanga (Massage) improves blood circulation, increasing nutri-ents to the hair roots and scalp. Conclusion: Ayurveda offers a comprehensive and personalized approach to hair health, addressing hair disorders’ symptoms and root causes. By restoring doshic balance, optimizing digestion, and nourishing hair follicles with natural remedies, i.e. Daily regimens, wholesome diet, Rasayana, Panchakar-ma, and Yogic practices, Ayurvedic interventions aim to promote long-term hair vitality and overall well-being.

The process of confirming and affirming service law as an independent branch of law and scientific discipline in the academic and empirical community includes the process of evolution of legal rules related to services in the digital sphere. Thus, the aforementioned evolutionary process implies the moment of realizing the need for regulation of innovation, identification of issues, analysis of perceived problems and formulation of potential solutions by the scientific and professional public, competition of known and possible regulatory concepts, commitment to the proposed regulatory concept, adoption of legal regulations and verification of adequacy and effectiveness of the same in practice. It is precisely through the described development stages that the domestic service law and the legislator in the regulation of services related to digital assets "passed". In accordance with the above, the author analyzes in the paper the circumstances that led to the adoption of the Law on Digital Assets from 2020 and specific provisions that regulate services related to virtual currencies in the Republic of Serbia. In doing so, and after the short - term application of this systemic law, it is particularly pointed to the challenges to which the regulator responded, but is also pointed to open questions.

The right to public communication of author's works is an issue on which the Court of Justice of the EU has had the opportunity to decide a number of times. The same applies to the private copying exception. The Court of Justice of the EU recently had the opportunity to decide on both of these issues in the "Ocilion" case - case C- 426/21. In the "Ocilion" case, the EU Court of Justice actually decided on two complicated aspects of the relationship between copyright law and online television services, clarifying that deduplication systems for copying TV shows do not fall within the scope of the private copying exception and that enabling online rebroadcasting does not constitute communication to the public. In the paper, the author deals with certain aspects of online television services on which the Court of Justice had the opportunity to decide in the "Ocilion" case. In addition, the author analyzes Directive 2019/789 on the cross-border online distribution of television and radio programs in the paper.
