FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO WELL-BEING: COMPARING FUNCTIONAL SOMATIC SYMPTOM DISORDERS AND WELL-DEFINED AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS
Authors:   Department of Psychology, University of New Brunswick, Saint John, NB (Canada), Hebert Kendra , Best Lisa
Published: May 2021

"Functional somatic symptom disorders (FSSDs) are defined by persistent and chronic bodily complaints without a pathological explanation. Mindfulness involves the focus on the present moment by noticing surroundings, thoughts, feelings, and events, being nonreactive, being non-judgemental, and self-accepting. Psychological flexibility (PF) involves a focus on the present and the prioritization of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that align with individual values and goals (Francis et al., 2016). Although PF does not involve a mindfulness practice, the two constructs are related. Research indicates consistent reported positive associations between mindfulness, PF, psychological wellbeing, and medical symptoms. In this study, individuals with FSSDs (fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome) were compared to those with well-defined autoimmune illnesses (multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis; AD) to determine how psychosocial factors affect wellness. Participants (N = 609) were recruited from social media and online support groups and completed questionnaires to assess physical health (Chang et al., 2006), psychological wellness (Diener et al., 1985), anxiety (Spitzer et al., 2006), depression (Martin et al., 2006), psychological flexibility, (Francis et al., 2016) and mindfulness (Droutman et al., 2018]. Results indicated that having an FSSD and higher depression was associated with both lower physical and psychological wellness. Interestingly, different aspects of psychological flexibility predicted physical and psychological wellness. These results suggest that different aspects of PF are associated with better physical and psychological health. As PF is modifiable, individuals with chronic conditions could receive training that could ultimately improve their overall health."

"In our study, we were testing an online burnout prevention programme among Hungarian teachers between 2016-2019, focusing on the background factors of the intervention effect size. Firstly, we conceptualized teacher burnout factors, and after exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis on the incoming sample (N=224), structure equation model has been built up which relate to work-stressors like effort-reward imbalance and over-commitment, burnout factors, perceived stress, general self-efficacy and depression. Secondly, by testing the stress-management intervention on a cumulated sample (N=37) which based on a mini randomized control trial and a quasi-experiment sample data, the intervention effect size has been evaluated, linear regression and structure equation modelling was used to explore the intervention’ predictor and moderator variables. Results of the conceptualization (N=224) show work stressors alone do not lead to burnout factors. Perceived stress is mediator from effort–reward imbalance to burnout factors. General self-efficacy modifies negative impact of perceived stress on personal accomplishment and directly depersonalization. Coping mechanism of depersonalization and personal accomplishment strengthens one-dimensional approach of burnout. Results of the intervention evaluation show that significant high improvement can be achieved related to the emotional exhaustion (N=37 d=0.89, p?.01). For prevention, all kind of stress-management techniques, improving teachers’ perceptions of work success are presumable. In order to reach higher involvement of the participants for further research cultural adaptation is needed."

"The aim of this study was to gain insights into the bullying of teachers by their learners from the perspective of victims of teacher-targeted bullying by learners. This study followed a qualitative and descriptive research design stemming from semi-structured personal interviews with victims of teacher-targeted bullying. A thematic content analysis of the data generated from semi-structured personal interviews with six victimized teachers as a snowball sampling. The sample consisted of male (n=2) and female (n=4) participants from rural (n=3) and urban (n=3) school locations in Estonia. The focus of this study was to determine how the teachers who have experienced bullying by their students describe the nature, influence and reasons attributed to such bullying. The findings indicate that the victims of teacher-targeted bullying by students were exposed repeatedly over long time verbal bullying, ignoring the teacher and other threats and cyber-attacks directed against teachers, whereby line between learners’ misbehavior at classroom and bullying behavior was recognized viewing bullying as group-based phenomenon. Bullying against teachers by pupils had a negative influence on the victims’ teaching and learning, as well as their private lives; and victims perceived the lack of support from educational authorities."

"With the imposition of the Movement Control Order (MCO) or lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are drastic changes in the movement and activity among Malaysians: increased psychological distress due to perception of the COVID-19 as a health threat, increased time spent with families, and decreased time away from home could either intensity relationship problems or draw families closer to each other. This study aimed to examine the perceived psychological distress and relationship quality among couples before and during MCO in Malaysia and factors predictive of participants' well-being. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21, Perceived Relationship Quality Component Inventory, and the Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale were disseminated through the snowball sampling technique. The study found that the participants (N=124) perceived significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress during MCO compared to before MCO. However, no significant differences between the couples were found before and during MCO in relationship quality, except in the trust sub-scale. Trust in the couple was higher during MCO. Multiple regression results showed that depression and stress predicted participants' well-being negatively during MCO. In contrast, total relationship quality, sexual relationship quality, satisfaction and couple’s trust predicted participants' well-being positively."

"Over the past three decades, extraordinary changes have taken place in the daily lives of families with sufficiently high purchasing power to guarantee access to digital devices and internet connection. Nowadays people have access to nearly unlimited information on their digital, mobile and ubiquitous devices and are themselves information to be accessed from anywhere in the world. Not only does the internet connect people to machines, but also to other people through social networks, online games, blogs / websites and the most diverse digital platforms, such as Facebook, Google, Uber, Ifood, Netflix, Tinder and Spotify. The notions of time and space are transformed, and we start to live in a hybrid space, where real and virtual coexist. In parallel with the use of digital platforms, balance and health started to be sought, more and more, by means of psychotropic drugs, whose consumption starts in childhood and makes us wonder what this world is, which saddens, shakes, bewilders, and disenchants. It is in this sense that people seem to be adapting to a new historical moment in which a large part of thoughts and feelings disturbs them. By struggling against those, human beings struggle against their own humanity. Some other problems came to light with the COVID-19 pandemic: the physical contact restriction confined people to their homes, where they often found even more discomfort and, in many cases, violence of all kinds. On the other hand, digital technologies have enabled social isolation to be circumvented, given the countless possibilities for interaction that they offer. Therefore, this study aims to reflect on the possibilities of personal and social action in the face of challenging situations, towards the construction of assertive and respectful, non-coercive relationships. To this end, based on Behavior Analysis concepts, we attempt to clarify the extent to which the same circumstances that cause pleasure can justify an increasing difficulty in dealing with frustrations, boredom and other emotions identified as being negative, taking into account consideration the internet use during the COVID-19 pandemic. To illustrate this perspective, we present an internet-mediated research, developed this year with ten families, aiming the creation of spaces for dialogue and reflection between a child and its mother or father, favoring the quality of the relationship between them and the child’s self-esteem. We point out that participants, as well as us all, can reinvent contemplative activities alongside greater proactivity."
THE ACCEPTANCE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF MIGRANTS TO SLOVAKIA BASED ON GENDER

Published: May 2021

"Schahbasi, Huber and Fieder (2020) found that men are generally more sceptical toward migration than women. The goal of this paper is to analyse the acceptance of different types of migrants to Slovakia based on gender. An experimental vignette methodology (EVM) with a simple experimental design was used - the reason for coming to Slovakia was manipulated. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of three different vignettes. The research sample consisted of 1001 respondents (49% men) aged 17 to 75 years (M = 44.81; SD = 14.92). Each vignette describes a different type of migrant according to the reasons for coming to Slovakia, while the word ""migrant"" was omitted to avoid prejudice. Control group (general description of people coming to Slovakia) - 334 respondents (51.2% men), group 1 (people coming for work / study) - 335 respondents (47.5% men); and group 2 (people arriving for a threat in their home country) - 332 respondents (48.2% men). The data were collected online (panel collection) in the Slovak Republic with the ambition to obtain a representative sample. Respondents were asked if they would accept a person coming to Slovakia from another country for ... a close relative acquired by marriage, a close personal friend, a neighbour living on the same street, co-worker / colleague, citizen of the SR and visitor of the SR, where 1 = strongly agree – 5 = strongly disagree. The comparison of respondents using t-test for independent samples showed that there were significant differences between men and women in control group - women had more acceptance for coming people as a close personal friend (Cohen's d = 0.251) and less for co-worker / colleague (Cohen's d = 0.224) than men. Women from group 1 had also more acceptance in terms of co-worker / colleague (Cohen's d = 0.331) and the visitor of the SR (Cohen's d = 0.276) than men. There were no differences in group 2. For the interpretation of the results, it is necessary to look at the negligible size of the differences between men and women. Respondents were in the “accepting” part of the scale (M = 2.31; SD = 0.82). The results suggest that there are almost none differences in the acceptance of migrants between men and women, regardless of vignette they evaluated in Slovakia. Based on our data is seems, that gender is not the main factor of acceptance rate of different types of migrants."

"The problem of the psychological impact of a pandemic, quarantine and self-isolation on the state of society attracts increased attention of specialists (Hua J., Shaw R., 2020; Li S., Wang Y. et all, 2020, Enikolopov S. et all, 2020; Fedosenko E., 2020). The objective of our work was to find the most common attitudes and types of responses of Russians to the epidemic COVID-19 taking into account their involvement in social networks, critical thinking and severity of psychopathological symptoms. The study was carried out during the recession of the first wave of the pandemic in early June 2020. The main tool was the questionnaire of T. Nestik in an abridged version. Additionally, a questionnaire of critical thinking was used (CTI, Epstein, adapted by S. Enikolopov and S. Lebedev, 2004); test of psychopathological symptoms SCL-90-R; social media engagement questionnaire (Karadag, 2015) was used. The study involved 986 people (56.9% male, 43.1% female) aged 18 to 76 years. Using exploratory factor analysis, 6 types of responses to the epidemic situation caused by COVID-19 were identified (fans / opponents of the ""conspiracy theory""; responsible / irresponsible, covid-dissidents, covid-optimists, misophobes, anti-vaccinators). The dominant belief among the respondents is that the emergence of new infectious diseases is a natural process of mutation that occurs in nature without the participation of people, or the result of someone's mistake. Conspiracy theories were significantly more common among elderly people and women. Citizens see salvation from the epidemic in the moral conscience and responsibility of everyone. At the same time, they do not trust both official information and information from fellow citizens. Representatives of the older generation have higher confidence in the country's leadership, in the possibilities of medicine and science, and in fellow citizens. Correlations of non-critical thinking with manifestations of misophobia and fear of new epidemics were revealed. Depressive subjects were more concerned about the illegal behavior of fellow citizens and misophobia. Long-term fear of epidemics has been correlated with anxiety. Among those who prefer social networks to official information (television, radio, print), statistically significantly more are those who not only do not trust official information about the epidemic situation, but also do not trust their fellow citizens, attributing to them possible facts of concealing information about the disease because of the fear of being quarantined. Thus, the COVID-consciousness of Russians demonstrated a combination of rather contradictory attitudes."

"Although some studies analyze neuroticism's role in individuals' response to acute stress, the results are controversial. There is a lack of studies examining the response to stressors of individuals with higher and lower neuroticism in all phases (during the period of anticipation of the stressor, at the time of exposure to the stressor, and during the recovery period after exposure to a stressor), measuring different physiological parameters and evaluating emotional response to a stressor at the same time. This study aimed to assess individuals with higher and lower neuroticism physiological and emotional responses to acute stress. 168 students participated in a study (23 males and 145 females). Their response to 4 different stressors (1 physical and 3 psychological (with standard instruction, the pressure to compete and critique) was evaluated, measuring the changes in their skin conductance, skin temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate while waiting for the stressor (anticipation phase), during the stressor and in the stress recovery phase. The changes in students ‘emotional responses were also measured using the C.R. Carlson et al. (1989) Emotional Assessment Scale (EAS). Students’ neuroticism was assessed using the NEO Five-Factor Inventory's neuroticism subscale (NEO-FFI, Costa, McCrae, 1992). The study results showed that students having higher and lower neuroticism differed when reacting to a physiological stressor. Students' responses to a psychological stressor differed only in the condition when they were criticized."
‘I AM NOT A MONSTER': THE LINGUISTIC STIGMA OF BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER.
Authors:   University College London (UK), Widuch Kaja
Published: May 2021

"Borderline Personality Disorder is arguably the most distressing disorder amongst the DSM diagnoses for all involved. Although psychiatric labelling can be validating it is often stigmatising. Due to the nature of BPD, people living with the disorder (PBPD) tend to be marginalized and discriminated against. A quick and random review of the World Wide Web (including a selection of popular social media platforms) reveals a common linguistic theme in describing BPD. PBPD are ‘toxic’, ‘difficult’ and ‘manipulative. Other labels, more diagnostically - oriented see PBPD as the ‘PDs’ or ‘the borderlines’. These also carry negative connotations of the inner and outer groups - ‘us’ vs ‘them’. Given the nature of the labels, recovery for PBPD is often dubious. One might think - ‘I am a monster anyway’, a classic example of cognitive dissonance. The language used in clinical practice as well as out of it is a powerful weapon. Some might poetically describe BPD as a lethal cocktail of blended psychopathologies with the ingredients including chronic suicidality, abandonment and intermittent lucidity to name a few. Of note, externalising such pathologies in an adaptive way is almost a fantasy for the therapy team. A more user friendly descriptive diagnosis is ‘difficulty in emotion regulation’. However, probably the most accurate ‘label’ of BPD for PBPD is ‘living in acute pain’. The current climate and the uncertainty surrounded the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has meant a significantly increased risk not only in symptoms remission but also in the increase in cyber-bullying and suicidality rate. The pandemic has also put a halt to the Participant and Public Involvement in the evidence based practice. Linguistic shift in reducing stigma is essential and of immediate need."

Published: May 2021

"This theoretical study, of a qualitative character, proposes to investigate what the relationship between identification and symbolization is in adolescent depression today. The importance of discussing the theme is as a direct result of the alarming observation that, as an illness of epidemic proportions, it does not refer to a natural illness, whose origin is restricted to the individual level, but mainly refers to structural determinations present in society. In this sense, this work addresses the problem of understanding which identification and symbolization processes are present in a culture that has transformed depression among adolescents into a social symptom. In order to develop this, it expresses the main determinations that are present at puberty, discussing the processes of primary and secondary narcissism, the nature of identifications, mechanisms of the capitalist culture of consumption and its relationship with the processes of subjectivation, reflecting on the possibilities and obstacles of the social bond to offer and / or allow symbolization of anxieties and humanizing psychical work."

"Psychology is currently facing global challenges that with necessity lead to the emergence of fundamentally new trends and patterns in the theory and practice of personality psychology. From the point of view of theory, there is a constant rethinking of changes in the structure and content of identity - personal, sociocultural, ethnic. In practice, there are no less significant processes associated with approaches and methods in diagnostics and counseling. These changes are associated with the expansion of the virtual space of identification and self-realization. In the last year, the changes associated with quarantine for COVID 19 have become of great importance. The frustration of real space, which often connects with a narrowing of the time perspective, leads not only to an increase in the role of virtual space, but also to intensification of the role of network identity and the development of various forms of Internet communication, counseling and leisure activities. It appears that new trends will become more significant and constant in the future. Therefore, it is imperative to discuss the new forms of narrative and virtual identity, the directions for further change and their positive and negative impact on the identification and well-being of both young and old people."

It also has the significant differences in comparison with other sources in terms of stiffness and tension forces. The choice of the
noise source models is justified by the characteristic features of the kinematics of the machine tools and the grinding technological
process. The arrangement of the machines` acoustic system of chosen group suggests that the main sources of energy radiation are:
grinding belts and belt drives of the work pieces and grinding units, ground work pieces, electric motors. It is compared the expected
noise levels with sanitary standards for determining the excess and the sources that generate them. These data are the main information
for the acoustic calculation and design of the noise reduction systems of the above sources at the design stage in such woodworking
equipment, and it also determines the acoustic efficiency of the noise protection systems and consider to design these systems in
accordance with the implementation of the sanitary noise standards at the machine operator workplaces.

Published: May 2021

The article considers the reason for the difference in the results of determining the impedance of the single-layer acoustic
liner samples by different methods during the operation in a normal incidence impedance tube. The operation of the normal incidence
impedance tube was simulated by numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. The data obtained from the numerical simulation
were processed by the transfer function method and Dean’s method. A direct determination of the liner impedance, based on the
ratio of the acoustic pressure to the acoustic normal velocity, was used to find out the reasons for the difference in impedance values.
The analysis was carried out in the frequency range close to the resonance. It was shown that the transfer function method determines
the impedance of the sample face, and the Dean’s method determines the impedance of the one cell only.

Authors: Koshurnikov Dmitrii
Published: May 2021

Three-dimensional maps showing acoustic exposure can be used as information basis for residential areas planning and design in cities. This research work focuses on estimating changes in acoustic pollution in a large city caused by a new residential
quarter being built there; overall, the quarter will be made up of 28 buildings including a school and a trade and entertaining center. The highest buildings in the quarter should not exceed 25 floors. Calculated estimates were performed at various heights, starting
from 1.5 meters and up to 75 meters above the ground. Calculation results obtained for various heights allowed building up a threedimensional exposure picture for assessing expected levels of external noise at each floor in an apartment block. All calculations were made and acoustic exposure was visualized with a geoinformation system (ArcGIS 9.3 with ArcScene module) that allowed showing geographic and attributive data concerning an examined territory. Our experience and methodical approaches to estimating and visualizing noise propagation will allow making well-grounded managerial decisions on city development. Noise factor assessment is a key element in creating a favorable living environment in a city.

The article presents data on the results of petal-shaped silencer mathematical modeling. Dissipative silencers of complex
shapes are the most promising technology. This design allows for achieving the required noise reduction. At the same time, geometric
shape optimization allows reducing the aerodynamic drag to the smallest values. The article compares the variants of the silencer
with the rotation angles of the plates 45 and 70 degrees. The use of such plates allows you to increase the acoustic efficiency of the
silencer by eliminating the radiation effect. In the article, there are the results of noise calculation from a dry cooling tower. The use
of a petal-shaped silencer will significantly increase acoustic efficiency. The extra aerodynamic drag will be minimal. For comparison
presented the results of modeling a cylindrical silencer. The cylindrical silencer has an equal through-section and long. Justified the
approach to choosing the most preferred option. The initial velocity field of the gas or air flow in the channel determines the choice of
silencer design.

W poszukiwaniu genealogii kina – skiagrafie i proces skiagraficzny
Authors: Jarosz Robert
Published: May 2021

Artykuł jest próbą wytyczenia genealogii medialnej, do której należy kino oraz podobne do niego media czy zjawiska. Wykorzystując metodologię archeologii mediów, autor przywołuje problemy terminologiczne i logiczne, jakie wiążą się z próbami wpisania kina w nadrzędny porządek medialny. Przykładem jednostkowym może być popularne pojęcie „praktyk ekranowych” Charlesa Mussera, przypisywane Nowej Historii Kina jako jedno z jej osiągnięć. Następnie opierając się na kluczowych tu założeniach interdyscyplinarnych, autor wyprowadza własną propozycję terminu „skiagrafii”, czerpiąc nazwę ze starogreckiego typu malarstwa. Większą część artykułu zajmuje charakterystyka poszczególnych gałęzi takiej medialnej genealogii oraz opis mechanizmów jej rozwoju, co autor nazywa procesem skiagraficznym.

O filmach, które chciały widzieć inaczej. W kręgu Bauhausu
Authors: Gwóźdź Andrzej
Published: May 2021

Autor podejmuje próbę określenia zjawiska techniki filmowej w „punkcie zero kina” w odniesieniu do filmów powstałych w kręgu „nowego widzenia” Bauhausu na przełomie lat 20. i 30. XX w. (Amateurfilm Dessau Ivany Tomljenović z 1930 r. oraz filmów Lászla Moholya-Nagya, zwłaszcza Architects’ Congress. Film Diary z 1933 r.). Zjawisko to polega na ignorowaniu standardów technicznych medium bądź (i) ich kwestionowaniu do tego stopnia, że mamy do czynienia z manifestacyjnym obnażaniem idei rozwoju jako negatywnego wzorca odniesienia, niekiedy wręcz z jej całkowitym odrzuceniem. Omawiane filmy przeciwstawiają wizualności – jako sposobowi zarządzania autorytetem władzy – prawo do patrzenia (oparte na „kontrwizualności”), co wyraża się zwłaszcza w inscenizowaniu widzenia jako tego, co i jak jest widziane.

Self-compassion to decrease performance anxiety in climbers: A randomized control trial
Authors: Röthlin Philipp , Leiggener Romaine
Published: May 2021

In climbing, anxiety may impair performance. Using an evolutionary approach, we hypothesized that athletes who treat themselves with self-compassion activate their contentment and soothing system and thus reduce their performance anxiety. A two-week randomized control trial was used to investigate the effect of self-compassion on somatic and cognitive anxiety. We compared two groups (intervention and waiting list) on two dates. Sixty climbers (Mage = 27.95, SDage = 8.57) completed the pre- and post-assessment. The intervention consisted of a psychoeducational leaflet and five self-compassionate writing tasks. In the posttest, the self-compassion intervention group showed increased self-compassion (F = 4.33, p = .04, ηp2 = 0.07) and decreased somatic performance anxiety (F = 6.24, p = .02, ηp2 = 0.10) compared to the waiting list control group. We found no changes in cognitive performance anxiety. The results suggest that self-compassion could be considered as a possible intervention to reduce physical symptoms of performance anxiety.
Development of the Labe valley in the Děčínská vrchovina Highland
Authors: Balatka Břetislav , Kalvoda Jan
Published: May 2021

The Labe canyon valley in the Děčínská vrchovina Highland is the erosion base of the major part of the river network in the Bohemian Massif. The authors describe the development of this valley since the Neogene up to the present time, mainly with regard to the interference of the morphotectonic and climate-morphogenetic impairing of its slopes. Furthermore, the relation between the progressive development of the antecedent Labe valley in the Děčínská vrchovina Highland towards the strategically significant systems of river sediments of the Bohemian rivers and sediments of the North-European continental glaciation is discussed.

Authors: Hynek Alois
Published: May 2021

The controversial concept of the Elbe Sandstones National Park as proposed hy the Czech Ministry of Environment is being examined both from physical and human geographical viewpoints. The project of a National Park in geographical version includes three parts: mesas and kuestas in the West, sandstone rock cities in the East, and the Elbe River canyon in the centre. A discourse and social communication is offered for scientific and legitimate evaluation of geographical version. Cultural landscape and balanced regional development are in the focus of the new National Park.
Institutional Change in ASEAN: A Conceptual Analysis of the ASEAN Political-Security Community
Authors: Huang Kwei-Bo
Published: May 2021

Objectives

To figure out whether adaptation – specifically, Ernst B. Hass’ incremental growth model – is able to account for institutional changes of ASEAN in the shape of the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC).

Methods

Use Ernst Hass' theoretical arguments and propositions to examine some of ASEAN's internal and external factors that have an impact on the discussion, planning, and implementation of the APSC. Three variables -- the types of knowledge used by ASEAN leaders in making choices, their political objectives, as well as the manner in which issues being negotiated -- are found in historical documents and academic analyses and then operationalized in a simpler way.

Results

The selection of the incremental growth model is justified and the incremental growth model can serve as an innovative analytical framework for the institutional change in ASEAN.

Conclusions

ASEAN is in a dynamic context where increased expectations and pressure from within and outside are taking place all at once. The institutionalization of ASEAN security arrangements, originally led by the initiation of the ASC/APSC, means that ASEAN has started facing these expectations and pressure and moved on to enhance security cooperation to a certain degree. It is time for students of international relations to apply again the previous finding of adaptation through incremental growth and conduct further field investigations into the current evolution of the APSC.
Estimates for the semigroup associated with Bernstein-Schnabl operators

We consider a differential operator of the form Au(x) = α(x)u”(x), 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. Under suitable assumptions, it generates a semigroup (T(t))t≥0 which can be approximated by iterates of the Bernstein-Schnabl operators. We obtain quantitative results concerning the behaviour of T(t) when t → 0 + and t → +∞.

Alabama
Authors: Hill Brandt , Holt Ted
Published: May 2021

Between October 2019 and September 2020, there were no noteworthy appellate decisions interpreting Alabama law directly relevant to oil and gas companies or operations. Similarly, there are no statutory amendments or administrative decisions impacting oil and gas companies operating in the state. However, the Alabama Supreme Court and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals each issued an opinion addressing jurisdiction and procedural issues that are relevant to operators in Alabama. We discuss those opinions below.

Solving the Interconnection Problem
Authors: Cantafio Ralph A. , Nowak Miles C.
Published: May 2021

The distinct three energy grids as such exist in the United States (the Western Interconnection, the Eastern Interconnection, and the Texas Interconnection or ERCOT) unnecessarily constrain the United States in addressing its future energy needs, as electricity flow between the three grids is very limited. As our country’s reliance on traditional nonrenewable energy sources like coal continue to decline and the reliance on renewable energy sources continues to grow, the United States should focus on replacing the existing three-grid system with a national energy grid that will benefit energy companies and consumers, as well as serve our future energy needs. This Article provides both an overview of the current energy system in the United States and evidence in support of a solution—creation of a national energy grid.
Ohio

Published: May 2021

Ohio courts continue applying the Ohio Marketable Title Act to severed oil and gas rights.1 As with many statutes, there are generally two questions that must be answered: (1) does the particular statute apply to the particular facts of the case and (2) if the statute applies in the first instance, how does a court apply the statute to the particular facts of the case? Both questions about Ohio’s Marketable Title Act and severed mineral interests were further examined and explored in 2020.
