Систематика континентально-европейского частного права действительно опирается на концепцию субъектов и их прав, что в свою очередь формирует смысловой каркас для понимания частноправовых отношений. Основное внимание в данной системе акцентируется на субъективных правах — юридических возможностях, которые предоставляются частным лицам, и которые они могут реализовать в своих отношениях с другими субъектами. Функционирование этой системы основывается на классификации различных типов юридической власти, которые могут принадлежать субъектам частного права. В качестве решения данной проблемы необходимо обратиться к европейскому контексту, где субъективное право получило значительное теоретическое развитие. Мы планируем рассмотреть генезис категории субъективного права в рамках европейской цивилистики, что позволит углубиться в анализ его эволюции и основных концептуальных подходов к этой категории.

ЯВЛЕНИЕ МИРОВОЙ КУЛЬТУРЫ
Authors: Джебирханов М.-Э.В. , Хазриев Дж.Ш. , Абдулвахабова Б.Б.-А.
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматривается одно из актуальнейших направлений в развитии материальной культуры чеченского народа - чеченская средневековая архитектура – как уникальное явление не только кавказской, но и мировой культуры. Чеченская средневековая архитектура – это сооружения различного назначения (жилые, боевые, полубоевые и сигнально-сторожевые башни, объекты культа – склепы, святилища, мечети и пр.). Используя доступные источники, авторы попытались проанализировать все типы башен, склепов, культовые сооружения и т.д. Несмотря на тесное взаимодействие с различными культурами соседних народов, чеченские мастера сохраняли местные архитектурные формы, и они являлись доминирующими. Эти объекты являются следствием воплощения многовекового опыта, характеризующего этнический менталитет. Соответственно, данная уникальная культура чеченского народа должна быть объективно исследована, сохранена. Она имеет огромное значение для воспитания подрастающего поколения. Основные выводы и материалы работы могут быть использованы не только в образовании, но и в эстетическом, трудовом, нравственном воспитании молодежи.

Published: November 2024

The acceptance rate of agricultural diversification as an effective strategy to mitigate climate change shocks on smallholder farmers’ welfare is growing.  However, many smallholder farmers in Oyo State, Nigeria, feel that the proposed solutions to their ongoing welfare challenges lack sufficient information and guidance.  Thus, this study used descriptive statistics, the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, the double hurdle model and a sample selection ordered probit regression model, to analyze the dataset elicited from 249 smallholder farmers through a multistage random sampling technique. These analytical techniques were applied to: describe farmers’ personal and socio-economic characteristics, examine the levels of diversification in the different agricultural enterprises, determine the correlates of agricultural diversification, and investigate the causal effect of agricultural diversification and other unobserved factors on farmers’ welfare status in the study area, respectively. Results showed that the average household size was five persons. Similarly, the majority engaged in diversified farming are operating at a moderate level and were classified as having a moderate welfare status. Furthermore, the double hurdle estimation revealed that age, dependency ratio, market access, food security status, years of farming experience, per capita income, and credit access significantly influenced both the decision to diversify and the extent of diversification. The sample selection ordered probit regression estimation indicated that agricultural diversification, household size, per capita income, distance to market, and years of farming experience significantly influenced farmers’ welfare status. Findings also revealed the need to support smallholder farmers with policies that encourage them to diversify their farming activities to maximize their gains, experience improved life and contribute to rural development in Oyo State, Nigeria.
Nachtrag zu den Grundfunktionen der Partizipien jri und jrr
Authors: Brose Marc
Published: November 2024

“An addendum to the discussion about the basic semantic values of the participles jri and jrr”
In a former article (2020) I argued that the terms ‘perfective’ and ‘imperfective’ suffice as cover terms for the basic semantic values of the participles jri and jrr. Some years later K. Jansen-Winkeln (2022) listed several objections against my argumentation. This short article presents counter-arguments and also new arguments for my interpretation. It is also shown, that the semantic pair “simple/unmarked/singularic—distributive/pluralic” can be identified as nuance of the head pair “perfective—imperfective”.

Objective: To determine an association of ABO and Rh blood group with dengue infectionsusceptibility.Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at Department of Pathology, Army Medical College inalliance with Pak-Emirates Military Hospital (PEMH) Rawalpindi, Pakistan from November 2022 to December2022.Methods: The study was conducted on two groups, one group had 102 dengue positive patient and the othergroup had 928 normal sample population presenting to the hospital. We applied Fisher's Exact/Chi-square test.Samples were collected by convenience sampling technique. Patients with any other concomitant infectionsuch as malaria or typhoid the study were excluded from group 1. ABO and Rh blood grouping done by tubemethod and verified by forward tile method. Serological testing for dengue for presence of IgM and NS1 doneby Rapid chromatographic immunoassay test (ICT) method.Results: The distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups in both the normal population and dengue-positivepatient groups was similar. In the normal sample population, the prevalence of O+ blood type was 30.1%,closely aligning with the 38.2% observed in dengue-positive patients. While the 38.2% figure is higher than thatof the normal population, it reflects a notable increase. Similarly, other blood group distribution is matchedwith O- 3.3% in normal sample and 2.0% in dengue positive. Blood group B+ is 28.0% in normal sample and26.5% in dengue positive patient. Blood group A+ being 22.4% in normal sample population and 24.5% indengue positive patients.Conclusion: According to this study, blood group O has a slightly higher percentage of dengue patientscompared to its prevalence in the general population. The prevalence of other blood groups in dengue patientsclosely mirrors their prevalence in the general population. Further research is needed to assess if HLA and ABOare dependent or independent risk factors and if certain blood groups have a higher chance of DENV infection.

The Nevo-Santos-Wilson Spheres are Shellable
Authors: Yang Yirong
Published: November 2024

Nevo, Santos, and Wilson constructed $2^{\Omega(N^d)}$ combinatorially distinct simplicial $(2d-1)$-spheres with $N$ vertices. We prove that all spheres produced by one of their methods are shellable. Combining this with prior results of Kalai, Lee, and Benedetti and Ziegler, we conclude that for all $D \ge 3$, there are $2^{\Theta(N^{\lceil D/2 \rceil})}$ shellable simplicial $D$-spheres with $N$ vertices.
Fractional View Analysis of Coupled Whitham-Broer-Kaup Equations Arising in Shallow Water with Caputo Derivative
Authors: Alzahrani Abdulrahman B. M.
Published: November 2024

This research explores the analysis of the nonlinear fractional systems described by the Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations using novel mathematical tools like the Aboodh transform iteration method and the Aboodh residual power series method in light of the Caputo operator theory. The Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations are critical for describing the nonlinear propagation of dispersive waves and have enormous practical relevance. In the application of the Aboodh transform iteration method and the Aboodh residual power series method, as well as the introduction of the Caputo operator, the modelling accuracy is improved by calculating the fractional derivatives. The study has proven the usefulness of these techniques in providing solutions to fractional nonlinear systems that are only approximate but are insightful concerning dynamic behaviour. The insertion of the Caputo operator in the modelling method gives it some sophistication, simulating the non-locality inherent in fractional calculus. Consequently, this study enriches mathematical models and computational approaches, bringing in solid tools for researchers who want to examine complex nonlinear systems with fractional nature.

The South Delhi Fold Belt (SDFB) constitutes a linear northeast-southwest trending fold belt of the Proterozoic age in NW India, with either north-easterly or south-westerly closing folds. The rocks from the Todgarh formation of SDFB show the occurrence of westerly closing folds. Systematic structural study and detailed mapping are carried out to interpret the westerly closing folds. Three generations of folds (F1, F2 and F3) are identified from the studied area. F1 is the early tight isoclinal folds with the development of bedding-cleavage intersection lineation (L1) parallel to the F1 fold axis. The F2 folds are non-cylindrical, with the formation of pucker axis (L2) parallel to the F2 fold axis. The interference pattern of F1 and F2 folds shows a hook-shaped outcrop. The F3 folds are open and conjugate in nature. Measurements of axial planes of the conjugate folds are employed to deduce the stress axis of the strain ellipsoid. The calculated maximum compression direction for the F3 folds shows an NW-SE compression direction similar to that of the F1 and F2 folds. The present study suggests that the westerly closing folds in SDFB are formed by reorienting the early F1/F2 folds due to the later F3 fold. Our work showed that the F1, F2 and F3 are developed in a broadly similar compressive regime.

Authors: Sharma Mrityunjay , Satheeshkumar Padikara K
Published: November 2024

Landoltia punctata is an aquatic, freefloating angiosperm plant with a very high multiplication rate and numerous commercial uses. In vitro plant regeneration protocols are necessary to exploit these plants as biomanufacturing platforms. It is frequently observed that the protocols established elsewhere are not effective when it was adopted by another group of researchers due to various reasons. In an attempt to develop transgenic plants in L. punctata., the present study developed a successful and reproducible plant regeneration protocol using fronds as explants. Gamborgs’s B5 media and MS media were used in the protocol. Callus induction was obtained on Gamborg’s B5 media supplemented with BAP (1 µM), Dicamba (20 µM), and sucrose (2%). For callus growth MS medium with 2, 4-D (30 µM), TDZ (1 µM), and sorbitol (2%) were used. MS medium supplemented with TDZ (15 µM) and the carbon source combination of sorbitol and sucrose (2:1) gave efficient plant regeneration in L. punctata. Half-strength basal MS media was used for rooting and the in vitro regenerated plants were successfully transferred to the maintenance solution (half-strength Hutner’s media) within a span of one week. The established protocol will be used to develop transgenic L. punctata plants expressing recombinant proteins.

Reproductive alterations pose a significant concern today, with various factors contributing to this issue, including genetic factors, reproductive system disorders, therapeutic drugs, lifestyle changes, and food additives. Food additives are substances utilized to enhance the taste of food and are commonly employed in various culinary practices. One such widely used food additive is monosodium glutamate (MSG), also known as Ajinomoto. Extensive scientific research has been conducted on MSG due to its widespread use, leading to the discovery that it can have adverse effects on the male reproductive system. These effects include abnormalities in sperm, reduced sperm count, and alterations in the anatomy of male reproductive organs.

Published: November 2024

2,2'-bipyridine (BIPY) (1% w/w with respect to soy protein isolate (SPI)) was incorporated in SPI to prepare BIPY reinforced SPI films. Prepared film was characterized structurally by FTIR spectrophotometer, which indicates shifting of –C=O band from 1641 cm-1 to 1632 cm-1 wavenumbers, indicating towards successful incorporation of BIPY in SPI matrix. Interestingly, the water resistance of BIPY incorporated SPI film was increased by four folds as compared to neat SPI films. However, the antibacterial properties of BIPY incorporated SPI films were negligible despite the reported antibacterial properties of BIPY. Docking studies were performed for SPI in order to evaluate their binding affinity with BIPY. After docking, the ligands in form of BIPY were evaluated according to their binding affinity and the interaction pattern between SPI and BIPY. The docking results indicated the absence of hydrogen bonding between SPI and BIPY. It has been reported in the literatures that BIPY also exerts some health-related issue due to which extra precaution is needed to prepare BIPY incorporated SPI films.

Published: November 2024

In this paper exponential-Shanker distribution which is a compound of exponential and Shanker distribution has been proposed. The unique feature of the proposed compound distribution is that both moment generating function and moments does not exist. The shape, hazard rate function, reversed hazard rate function, quantile function, entropy measures and stressstrength reliability have been discussed. The proposed distribution has decreasing hazard rate which resembles with several lifetime datasets. The estimation of its parameter has been discussed using maximum likelihood method. Goodness of fit of the proposed distribution has been explained with an example of real lifetime dataset of electronic item having decreasing failure rate. The fit has been found quite satisfactory over exponential, Lindley, Shanker and exponential-Lindley distributions.
Una habitación propia: Arrendamiento y propiedaden la Ley por el derecho a la vivienda
Authors:   Universidad de Valencia, Mas Badia María Dolores
Published: November 2024

La monografía analiza la incidencia de la Ley 12/2023, de 24 de mayo, por el derecho a la vivienda en materia de arrendamientos urbanos y todo el movimiento jurisprudencial y normativo que ha desencadenado. Lo hace desmenuzando el contexto en el que se gesta y alumbra aquella. Los aspectos más controvertidos son dos. Las cuestiones de orden competencial y las restricciones al poder del propietario, en especial, en zonas tensionadas y, sobre todo, en el caso de grandes tenedores; de forma destacada, las que limitan la renta del alquiler y otras conexas. Se discute si estas medidas, marcadamente intervencionistas, están o no justificadas por el criterio de la función social o si ponen o no en jaque el contenido esencial del derecho de propiedad. A estos se unen otro tipo de escollos, asociados a defectos de técnica legislativa o a la cuestionable eficacia de los instrumentos articulados para resolver el problema de la vivienda, compartido por los países de nuestro entorno jurídico. En el libro, se aportan soluciones interpretativas a las cuestiones dudosas o poco definidas en la Ley. El estudio se cierra con unas reflexiones finales que contienen algunas sugerencias en clave prospectiva. En la trastienda, una cuestión alrededor de la que gravita la investigación: ¿hasta qué punto revela esta controvertida Ley una evolución en la forma de entender la propiedad privada?

Published: November 2024

The seal is a reference to one power era of the Middle Ages. With the shift in research, we can encounter new insights that everything could have represented in its time. The overall development is linked to the availability of sphragistic material for researchers as well as within digital archives. The paper will describe the aspects of 2D and 3D digitalization of seals on a concrete example of the seals of the Czech Crown Archive and outline the possibilities of making the results of digitalisation available. As the development of modern technologies progresses, it is impossible to stand aside from them. Institutions that see the opportunities offered by technology will not only enable the contribution of scientific progress, as data will be available to researchers around the world, but will also enable, for example, to preserve the seal from the imaginary degradation that could go through with frequent exposure to inappropriate conditions. Finally, modern technologies can also serve to popularize science among the younger generation and thus attract the attention of the future young scientific community.
Proč chodit do muzea, když ho má každý žák v telefonu? Object based learning jako budoucnost historického vzdělávání v muzejním prostředí
Authors: Melichar Bohumil
Published: November 2024

The subject of this essay is a reflection on the role of new media and information technologies in the current practice and future of museum pedagogy. The text offers an analytical assessment of the current situation, which is characterised by a certain tension between the authenticity hidden in the original historical artefacts and the viral availability of their virtual copies. Are museum exhibitions threatened with extinction and the massive transition of the curated content to the online sphere? Findings from research on museum visitor behaviour suggest not. The historical authenticity hidden in original artefacts still attracts curiousity of the public and organised school groups. Importantly, however, rapid developments in the field of information technology are changing the visitor experience and presenting opportunities for curators and museum educators. They can grasp it as a tool for deepening the experience of encountering the past and for more productive developing competence and historical and historical consciousness during educational programs.

Authors: Gausová Zörnerová Markéta
Published: November 2024

The partial acquisition of Clam-Gallas Palace by Museum of Prague created a challenge for the museum educators. At the moment there are no comprehensive academic publications concerning the current knowledge about the architectural and artistic development of this unique building from the High Baroque period of the Gallas and Clam-Gallas families’ history. The paper proposes ways to present the visually appealing fresco paintings by Carlo Innocenza Carloni (1686–1775) to the wider public and to encourage the visitors to participate in their interpretation.
“We will be citizens”: Affect and Citizenship in Representations of the AIDS Crisis
Authors: Cascao Leonardo
Published: November 2024

This article analyzes affective representations of the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s in the U.S. in Mike Nichols’ adaptation of Tony Kushner’s Angels in America (2003), and in Ryan Murphy’s adaptation of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart (2014). The core approach is affect theory applied to cultural studies. I argue that throughout a period of government inaction towards an unknown and deadly virus, art was a means of engaging with the activist and social movements of the time that further propelled the fight against AIDS and aimed at changing public perceptions. The affects depicted in these works engage questions of belonging and citizenship, leading to an overview of how portrayals of the epidemic help make sense of the notions of affective and intimate citizenship.
