Study on the Legal Consequences of Revocation of the Appellate Award in the Internal Appellate Mechanism for Arbitration
Authors: Li Yongxin
Published: December 2022

The traditional principle of finality in arbitration has certain drawbacks, and the huge risk costs it may lead to make some international commercial parties no longer use arbitration as their first choice for dispute resolution. However, the appellate mechanism for arbitration is not yet well developed, and the legal consequences of revocation of the appellate award need to be further clarified. In this article, I will analyse the academic opinions in China and abroad, and discuss the validity of the appellate award and the original award, the validity of these two kinds of awards after the appellate award is set aside, and the understanding of the principle of “non bis in idem” after being revoked, so as to draw conclusions on how to determine the validity of the arbitration award after the appellate award is set aside under different circumstances. Based on analysis above, my suggestion is that the same dispute after the revocation of the appellate award should be arbitrated by entering into a new arbitration agreement or by bringing a lawsuit.

Agriculture is one of the most significant economic sectors in India, which is strongly dependent on climatic conditions. Groundnut is one of the major oilseed crops of Gujarat and Junagadh has highest production of groundnut in Gujarat. For effective, forward-looking, and current planning, especially in agriculture, which is fraught with uncertainty, reliable and timely forecasts are essential. Therefore, effective yield forecast of such important oilseed crop is necessary for future planning and policy making. In the present investigation, the time series data of groundnut yield and weather parameters of 29 years Junagadh (1991-92 to 2019-20) were used. The week wise weather indices were generated using correlation between de-trend yield and weekly weather variables. Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Discriminant Function Analysis were used to develop yield forecasting model using weather indices before three week and one week before harvest, respectively. These models were compared using Coefficient of multiple determination (Adj. R2), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The study found that model-1A, developed using MLR technique have high value of adj. R2(78.8%) and low RMSE value (671.72). Multiple linear regression (MLR) was found to be more accurate than the discriminant function analysis approach.

Human Rights Aspect in the Indonesian Energy Transition: The Challenges of Promoting the Right to a Clean, Healthy and Sustainable Environment
Authors: Nur Asrul Ibrahim
Published: December 2022

Indonesia's Constitution has recognised and guaranteed the right to a clean and healthy environment. Recognition of the right is even more relevant after the United Nations adopted the resolution to recognise it as a part of human rights in 2022. This paper will discuss the recognition and guarantee of human rights in the Indonesian legal framework on energy transition. As one of the responses to the climate change phenomenon, the energy transition should mainstream the human rights aspects. Doctrinal legal research methods are adopted in this study with a statute and conceptual approach. This study aims to map the problems of Indonesia's energy transition legal framework from a human rights perspective. The analysis results show at least three problems raised in recognising the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment in the Indonesian legal framework on energy transition: sectoral egos, incompatible legal instruments, and dependence on fossil energy.

Percepcija i recepcija glazbe kod mladih na području Trogira
Authors: Buble Jelena
Published: December 2022

Ovom radu, kao integralnom dijelu doktorske disertacije, namjera je bila istražiti jedan od aspekata glazbenog svijeta mladih na području grada Trogira – percepciju i recepciju glazbe. U njemu je obuhvaćena građa prikupljena od prosinca 2004. do srpnja 2011. godine, u individualnim i skupnim razgovorima sa sto dvadeset i dvoje mladih kazivača u duljem razdoblju, kao i slušanje predloženih zvučnih zapisa. Rad je koncipiran je u trima različitim cjelinama s obzirom na pojam glazbe – tradicijske, klasične i popularne, zato što su je sami kazivači bili skloni klasificirati upravo na taj način. Cilj istraživanja bio je shvatiti što prisustvo glazbe u svakodnevnom životu znači mladim konzumentima, istražiti ustaljene stavove o istoj (uvjetno rečeno, predrasude i stereotipe o određenim vrstama glazbe) te ispitati u kojoj mjeri glazba oblikuje svakodnevni život kao simbolički entitet društva, prihvaćajući činjenicu da glazba može i ne mora biti umjetnost – kao saznanje koje nije a priori loše ili dobro, Tematika je promatrana većinom iz antropološkog i etnomuzikološkog kuta, uz uvažavanje stavova suvremene estetike glazbe i muzikologije. Razlog tomu je činjenica da je suvremeni (mladi) čovjek, istovremeno sudionik više različitih glazbenih kultura, pri čemu se one mogu nesmetano preklapati i nadopunjavati i u skladu s vanjskim faktorima slijedom kojih su i nastale, formirati jedinstveni glazbeni svijet svojega nositelja, bilo da je riječ o pojedincu ili skupini.

Authors: Sani, Z. R.  , Jabbi, A.M.  , Abdullahi, R.T.
Published: December 2022

Yeast (Candida albicans) is the term for the fungus that exists as a single celled organism rather than as hyphae. In the present study Methyl chavicol a major constituent of Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum) essential oil has been evaluated against the induction of germ tubes in Candida albicans. Ocimum Sanctum leaves and seeds were used for extraction of basil oil through stream distillation process. Candida cells were also grown in yeast extract, peptone and dextrose (1:2:2) medium. Primary culture (0.5%) of Candida albicans was mixed with 25ml of Lee’s modified media which was grown for 72 h at 25oC and was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 5 min. The cells obtained in the form of pellet were washed with distilled water and then reinoculated into fresh 50ml LMM and the test compound was added. pH of the solution was adjusted to 6.5 at 37oC by adding 0.1 N NaOH solution. Then slides were prepared after every 90 min interval for 24 h and observed under inverted microscope. After 90 min in all the three sets, germ tube induction begins but the length of the germ tube greatly differs. In the control the maximum length observed is 38.3 μm but in MC1 and MC2 it is 9.4μm and 5.7μm, respectively. This clearly shows the inhibitory effects of methyl chavicol on germ tube induction. Similar results of decreasing length of germ tubes in MC2 at different time periods, proved that MC2 i.e. 70μg/mL methyl chavicol is a potent inhibitor of germ tubes induction.

I’ll be honest…it has been 35+ years since I started Medical School [MBBS]. And in the realm of Medicine at large, and Immunology/Rheumatology in specific, we are still struggling to find a ‘cure’ for chronic systemic inflammatory immune-mediated diseases also known as ‘autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD)’. Rheumatology is still in its cradle having gotten the recognition as a subspecialty of Medicine only in 1972. I have seen the field evolve in terms of understanding the orchestrated ‘play’ of the immune cells along with cytokines etc. over the past 3 decades, all of which has led to the concept and birth of ‘biologic’ disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs [b-DMARDs]. The first b-DMARD to get approved by the Food and Drugs Administration [FDA] was etanercept, a TNF-alpha receptor fusion protein in 1998. Infliximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody against TNF soon followed in 1999. Ever since then, there has been a flurry of b-DMARDs including 3 more in the same family of TNF-antagonists, 2 in the Interleukin [IL]-6 antagonist class, 1 blocker of the second co-stimulatory T-cell signaling: CTLA-4Ig, 3 IL-1 antagonists, B-cell depleting chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against CD-20 etc. Also, 3 oral Janus-kinase inhibitors have joined the ‘gang’ and are called targeted synthetic DMARDs. I still remember the pre-b-DMARD era when rip roaring rheumatoid arthritis was still around, and with my Ustaad Saheb (Mentor), all what we had to offer pharmaceutically were the conventional synthetic [cs] DMARDs including methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, sulfasalazine, leflunomide and [the younger generation can hold their breath] cyclosporine, d-penicillamine, chlorambucil…GOLD injections and even cyclophosphamide! Corticosteroids have been around since 1950!

Published: December 2022

In our (iper)complex society, social relations have been transformed by the new technologies use. In fact, in the pandemic time caused by Covid-19 (especially in the severe moments), individuals had to interrupt their traditional live, included the social relations, and to carry online all the social interactions. The boundary between real and virtual has fallen. Consequently, it has now become a current habit to seek social relations in the virtual world. However, within this framework, these bonds have very often turned into experiences of general violence and especially violence against women. The aim of the article is to examine this social phenomenon in its multidimensionality, investigating it also through the ecosystem model, as well as reporting the most recent data in the international and national context, stressing the impact that social media, social networks and Internet communications have on violent and offensive behavior against women, especially younger women.
Social services in Italy tested by the Pandemic: New challenges and scenarios
Authors:   University of Siena, Mascagni Giulia
Published: December 2022

In the 2-year period 2020–2021, the serious economic and social costs of the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated the already numerous structural issues of the national social system and raised new ones. In response to a significant increase in material needs but also a wide and diverse range of non-material needs (amplified by difficult situations such as a lack of self-sufficiency, loneliness, distance learning and problematic family settings), there is now an urgent need for innovation in social interventions by combining a bottom-up approach with direction from central authorities. This paper offers an interpretation of the pandemic’s impact on social services in Tuscany (Italy) by analysing the experiences of social workers and managers (22 in-depth interviews and two focus groups). The need created by the pandemic phase to reorganize the times and methods of social work has highlighted two distinct but closely interrelated perspectives: individually, the issue of redefining professional identities and self-representation; and collectively, the challenge of reorganizing social intervention with new methods and priorities, considering new healthcare measures for the containment of Covid-19. These two processes join the pre-existing ones of externalization and precarization. Against this backdrop, the essay examines two main research questions: first, how and in which ways communication time, relationship time and their ‘rhythms’ have changed during social intervention; and second, what impact containment measures and management of the epidemiological emergency had on professional practices.
Intra-family mafia pedagogy: the role of juvenile justice and social work in Italy
Authors:   University of Enna ", Malizia Nicola ,   Kore"
Published: December 2022

The sociological and legal literature on the subject of mafia acculturation within the family has repeatedly urged the intervention of the institutions to operate both in the social field, through adequate support networks, and in the judicial field, through measures against the so-called 'children of the mafia' who, from an early age, become the recipients of a mafia pedagogy, aimed, over time, at preparing them for anti-legal and anti-social conducts and which denies them, in fact, the achievement of an existential and working autonomy with the aim of freeing them from the criminal culture. This study, therefore, after investigating the mechanisms of such acculturation, the deviant perspectives, the role of the Social Services, the quality of the disvalues imparted and oriented towards the demolition of the culture of democracy, the breaking of laws, and the failure to respect social values and norms, has also attempted to verify the possibility of constructing a truly effective legal, organizational and social model that would address - from a systematic perspective - the phenomenon of the involvement of minors in criminal associations and the suggestion exerted by certain imposed intra-family mafia cultural models, as well as the tools to protect the fundamental right of the minor to receive a responsible upbringing, consistent with constitutional values and civil coexistence, which can only be achieved through a process of harmonization of the civil law regulations governing parental responsibility and parental authority proceedings.

We introduce the notion of Essentially λ-Rationalized Toeplitz Hankel operator on the space L2 for a general complex number λ. Precisely, we define such operators via operator equation λk2 MzK2 X − XMzK1 = K1, where k1 and k2 are non zero integers and K1 is a compact operator on L2. We investigate some properties of the set λ-ERTHO(L2), the set of all Essentially λ-Rationalized Toeplitz Hankel operators of order (k1, k2

In this paper, we have established SIQR epidemic model with saturated incidence rate for Corona - virus Disease (COVID-19). For more specified study the Quarantine Compartment is subdivided into two quarantine compartments QS , quarantine from susceptible individual class and QI, quarantine from infected individuals. At any given time the size of susceptible compartment will be bigger than the size of other compartments so, considering the criticality of the disease it is necessary to have the hold on this compartment for this the whole model is incorporated with saturated incidence rate. The local and global stability at equilibrium points are discussed which depends on the basic reproduction number (R0) of the model. It has been observed if R0 < 1, then the disease free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and if R0 > 1, then the endemic equilibria will be globally stable. At R0 = 1, behaviour of disease-free equilibrium is examined using Center manifold theory. The major finding shows that the measure of inhibition taken by the susceptible reduces the severity of disease.

This paper develops some general formulas to generate positive integers triples (a, b, c) ∈ Z3+ satisfying equation a-1 + b-1 = c-1, which is based on a positive integer parameter λ = b − c and a ≥ b > c . The paper also investigates the area formed by the arcs arising from the equation.
INVESTIGATION OF MASS TRANSFER PHENOMENON IN BIOMAGNETIC FLUID FLOW UNDER STENOTIC CONDITION
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Subrata
Published: December 2022

Initiation and development of atherosclerosis are closely related to the mass transfer mechanism of blood constituents onto the arterial wall. Investigation of mass transfer phenomenon in magnetohydrodynamic ( MHD) flow of blood through a stenosed artery is the objective of this study. Carreau viscosity model is used to describe the non-Newtonian character of streaming blood. Vessel wall flexibility is taken into account. Pulsatile flow of blood is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations along with the mass conservation equation. Mass transfer phenomenon is governed by the convection-diffusion equation coupled with the velocity field. A finite difference scheme is developed and suitable initial and boundary conditions are imposed to solve these non-linear equations. Distributions of several significant wall parameters, such as time-averaged wall shear stress, time-averaged Sherwood number etc. are examined over the entire flow regime with the variations of stenosis height, Hartmann number and Schmidt number. Comparison with the Newtonian fluid for these wall parameters are done. Patterns of stream lines and isoconcentration lines are also shown for additional qualitative insight of the flow-field and concentration-field.

The aim this research work was to assess the intensity of photosynthesis at the leaf level of 3 common plant species: Ceriops zippeliana, Excoecaria agallocha, Avicennia officinalis, natural origin in a Can Gio mangrove forest. From May 2020 to September 2020, the databases of diurnal dynamics of the intensity of photosynthesis and PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation) for different parts of the tree crown were investigated. The Michaelis - Menten equation was used to describe the dependence of photosynthesis on PAR. The coefficients equation was used to assess the photosynthetic characteristics of the tree leaf. The study showed that the decline of leaf photosynthetic capacity in all 3 subjects studied may be due to the cumulative decline of chlorophyll fluorescence. Photosynthetic intensity of the 3 plant species has different variation according to environmental factors but generally depends on leaf temperature and PAR. Specifically, the optimum temperature for the growth of C. zippeliana is between 29 and 33°C with An (Photosynthetic yield) between 12.8 and 15.4 mol m-2s-1; optimum temperature for the growth of E. agallocha is from 28 to 31ºC with An in the range of 4.5 to 9.6 mol m-2s-1; the optimum temperature for growth of A. officinalis are 2 temperature ranges from 28 to 31ºC for leaves at the top and from 26 to 28ºC for leaves in the middle and under the canopy. Based on the obtained correlations, mathematical models of photosynthetic intensity as a function of PAR and leaf temperature were developed. In general, the results show that the inhibitory factor affecting photosynthesis can be the amount of photosynthetic irradiance that is higher than the allowable level and the deviation of leaf temperature from the optimal values for plant growth development of C. zippeliana, E. agallocha, A. officinalis.

En los últimos años, los líderes gubernamentales han enfrentado varias denuncias por incumplimiento de los planes de desarrollo regional. Esto causa tal insatisfacción en los electores que inician de procesos de revocatorias que desgastan la figura pública del gobernante. Por ello, el presente artículo analizó la jurisprudencia y la normatividad colombiana, en materia de la responsabilidad de los mandatarios: en lo concerniente a la ejecución de los programas y proyectos enmarcados en los planes de desarrollo local, regional o nacional. La metodología aplicada consiste en un enfoque investigativo, del tipo cualitativo, por medio del rastreo y análisis de la información presente en bases de datos públicas. En específico, considerando la pérdida de confianza de los ciudadanos en las propuestas de programas de gobierno de los candidatos, se realizó un recorrido entre lo normativo y los sucesos históricos del país. Para esto, se examinó el proceso de elección popular, el voto programático, la construcción de un plan de gobierno, el cumplimiento del plan de desarrollo y la posibilidad de un referendo revocatorio. A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se evidencia que aun cuando existen procesos reglamentados para la revocatoria de los gobernantes, no hay una norma legal vigente que determine el grado de responsabilidad para aquel mandatario que incumplió su programa de gobierno por el cual fue elegido y que, más tarde, se convirtió en plan de desarrollo. Por último, se recomienda para futuras investigaciones profundizar en la necesidad de considerar a los ciudadanos como actores cruciales en el seguimiento y control del cumplimiento de los programas de desarrollo.
