The work carried out studies to determine the diffusion coefficients and activities of water, isopropyl and ethyl alcohols in polymer polyurethane films based on amino esters of boric and orthophosphoric acids at temperatures of 22, 40 and 60 °C. To determine the diffusion coefficients, we used data on the dynamics of sorption of low molecular weight components in the polymers under study, presented in our previous study. To describe the process of swelling of a polymer film, the Fick differential equation was used; the process was represented as unsteady diffusion in a flat plate. The initial condition was the absence of a component in the polymer at the initial moment of time; the solution to the differential equation was the non-stationary field of concentrations of the component in the film. The experimental dependences of changes in the volume-mass concentration of components in the polymer were described using the Heaviside switching function; due to the presence of a maximum in the swelling curve, it is associated with a restructuring of the polymer structure that occurs due to possible relaxation processes. By minimizing the discrepancies between the calculated and experimental values of the concentration versus time dependence, the diffusion coefficients of pure components in AEPA and AEBA films were determined. Based on data on the diffusion of components through polymer films, the separation characteristics of polymers were assessed for their use as a selective layer of pervaporation membranes. Based on swelling data over long periods of time for water-alcohol mixtures of various compositions, the parameters of the Flory-Huggins model were determined for calculating the activities of components in the polymer. It was shown that among the solvents under study, water has the highest diffusion coefficient, and isopropyl alcohol has the lowest, regardless of the type of film (AEPA/AEBA). For all films, there is a tendency for the diffusion coefficient to increase with increasing temperature, regardless of the solvent.

Research into accessible legal assistance: a strengthening of the rule of law?

Accessible legal assistance is crucial to ensuring access to justice for all and essential for the rule of law and a functioning democracy. Many people in the Netherlands, especially vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, rely on frontline legal services at a local level for access to justice. Frontline legal assistance provides information and advice, while secondary legal assistance offers procedural assistance. When people face barriers, for example due to limited language proficiency or limited digital skills, in seeking assistance from frontline professionals, they may not be referred to a lawyer or a court, and thus be limited in their access to justice. Based on recent (empirical) research on the accessibility of (frontline) legal assistance, the authors reflect on the question how research can contribute to access to justice and the rule of law in the Netherlands.
Wij, de levende vrouwen en mannen van vlees en bloed

We, the living women and men of flesh and blood. Play to live

A recurring element in the ideas of citizens with sovereign ideas is the rejection of the Dutch rule of law. Sovereign citizens therefore believe that they do not have to comply with laws and regulations. The paradox is that sovereign citizens do abide by their own rules of law, which take shape in alternative institutions. In these alternative institutions, role-playing and a play with fiction and magic unfold, which explains part of the appeal of sovereign thought. More interdisciplinary knowledge and insight into the function of fiction, fantasy and play in sovereign circles seems useful for scientific knowledge about radical or extremist dissatisfaction with the rule of law and how this manifests itself.
Museum as Object: From Postcard to Post
Authors: Simpson Charlotte , Hale Jonathan , Hanks Laura
Published: November 2024

Whether it’s through sharing picture postcards or visitor-produced photographs of museums on social media, these processes of image sharing, often dismissed as trivial, are acts which create and sustain relationships between the visitor, museum, and a wider audience. This paper positions picture souvenirs as significant, performative media, and understands postcards and Instagram posts as comparable social, objective and subjective mediums which reflect museum values and visitor decision-making.
Using the British Museum as a case study, this paper analyses postcards and Instagram posts within their networks of production, use, and distribution. Visitor messages are analysed alongside imagery, and grounded theory is used to offer an interpretive understanding of decision making and inherent meaning potential. This approach responds to Haldrup and Larsen’s (2010) call for greater emphasis on ‘photographing’ in studies of tourist media and contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of photography in museum visitor experiences.
Photography of the museum transforms 3D spaces into 2D objects, miniaturising the institution, making it mobile, and readying the museum for ‘new’ social uses, and research indicates that whilst the aims of photography differs between museum, commercial publisher, and visitor, the decisions which underpin production are consistent. Through use, a connection is fostered between museum and person, and institutional and personal messages are read congruently. This connection is heightened online with photographs shared in ‘real-time’ alongside narratives which more closely reflect lived experiences.
These photo-sharing practices enrich the visitor experience, allow visitors to ‘own’ the museum, and facilitate and support social interaction.

Published: November 2024

A psicologia educacional e escolar é uma área de atuação e pesquisa que envolve a implicação da o profissional nos processos educacionais, com a primazia de atuação na escola. Historicamente, o trabalho da psicologia nesse contexto era voltado a adaptar o aluno ao que a escola esperava deste, causando exclusão principalmente dos alunos das camadas populares. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi revisar a literatura sobre as práticas profissionais em psicologia educacional e escolar. Trata-se de um trabalho qualitativo, em que 13 artigos fizeram parte da amostra do estudo. Os dados foram analisados pelo procedimento de análise de conteúdo e possibilitaram a construção de três categorias como resultados, a saber:1) Psicologia escolar e educação inclusiva; 2) Psicologia escolar nos Institutos Federais; 3) Atuação profissional ético-política em psicologia escolar. Percebemos que existem contradições na atuação em psicologia escolar e educacional, visto que algumas pesquisas descreveram práticas tradicionais voltadas a atuação médico-clínico na escola, ao mesmo tempo em que reconheceram a necessidade de superação deste modelo. Concluímos que é necessário avanços no comprometimento ético político dos profissionais em psicologia na escola, para a garantia do direito a educação dos educandos.

Este estudo teve como objetivo contribuir para um melhor entendimento dos resultados de políticas públicas direcionadas aos agricultores familiares produtores de leite por meio da caracterização das famílias, análise da produção leiteira e da eficiência técnica de produção nos anos de 2015 e 2017 de 103 unidades. Para a análise da eficiência técnica, foi utilizada a construção de um modelo de produção de fronteira estocástica. Não houve redução na produção das fazendas leiteiras, ao contrário da média dos produtores do estado. A concessão de equipamentos não foi a melhor estratégia para aumentar a eficiência técnica, todavia a assistência técnica resultou no aumento da adoção de melhores técnicas de produção e consequente aumento da produção. O nível de escolaridade é um fator com grande impacto na produção de leite.

Published: November 2024

As sementes exercem a função de perpetuar e multiplicar a espécie, além de serem responsáveis pelo potencial máximo de produtividade na lavoura, pois carregam consigo quatro fatores limitantes de produtividade, que são a genética, a sanidade, o físico e o fisiológico. Sendo assim, há dois motivos que levam a enfatizar a importância de se obter sementes livres de microrganismos fitopatogênicos. O primeiro motivo é devido à associação do patógeno a semente, que resulta na sua deterioração e consequentemente, afeta a sua germinação e estabelecimento das plantas no campo. O segundo, em razão de, a semente infestada por patógeno torna-a um veículo de transmissão, transportando-o para uma área isenta. Dessa forma, este trabalho objetivou avaliar a qualidade sanitária de sementes de girassol (Helianthus annuus) e sua influência na germinação. Os ensaios foram realizados no laboratório de microbiologia, do Centro Universitário da Fundação Educacional de Barretos, UNIFEB. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com 2 tratamentos: T1 (fotoperíodo de 12h sob luz) e T2 (ausência de luz), cada um com 4 repetições de 100 sementes, totalizando em 400 sementes por tratamento. Os testes empregados para avaliação das sementes foram germinação e sanidade. O método utilizado na análise da sanidade foi o Blotter test, e a identificação dos microrganismos patogênicos foram realizadas com base nas características morfológicas. Foi verificada a ocorrência de 100% de contaminação fúngica pelos gêneros Trichoderma e Rhizopus na superfície das sementes de girassol, conferindo-lhes, uma baixa qualidade sanitária, que causou interferência na capacidade de germinação.

A cultura do arroz irrigado possui diversas particularidades, entre elas destacam-se as perdas no processo de colheita mecanizada, fato evidenciado quando se busca nas diversas bases de dados, artigos técnico-científicos relacionados ao assunto e o resultado é escasso. Desta maneira, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar como se comporta uma colhedora autopropelida de arroz irrigado equipada com dois tamanhos de plataforma de corte em cinco velocidades de deslocamento em relação às perdas quantitativas de grãos que ocorrem no sistema de corte e recolhimento (parte dianteira da máquina - plataforma), no sistema de processamento dos grãos (mecanismos de trilha, separação e limpeza – traseira) e a perda total. O experimento realizou-se em uma propriedade agrícola produtora de arroz localizada no Departamento de Treita y Tres – Uruguai, com uma colhedora John Deere, modelo 9.670 STS Rice. Foram realizados dez tratamentos compostos por duas plataformas, com dimensões de 7,6m (25 pés) e 9,1m (30 pés) de largura de trabalho, ambas dotadas de sistema draper e cinco velocidades de deslocamento: 2,0; 2,5; 3,0; 3,5 e 4,0km.h-1. A quantidade da perda ocorrida na plataforma e na traseira da máquina foi medida com sistema de coletores plásticos e lona nos sistemas de limpeza e separação, respectivamente. Os dados foram submetidos à análise da variância (ANOVA) e de regressão, assim como ao teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. Os resultados encontrados nas condições dos testes mostram que as perdas na plataforma foram independentes da velocidade de deslocamento, enquanto na traseira, aumentaram com o acréscimo da velocidade, sendo maiores com o emprego da plataforma de maior dimensão. O emprego de velocidades superiores a 3,5km.h-1 causam perdas totais na colhedora superiores a 3%. As perdas de grãos na traseira aumentam exponencialmente com a taxa de alimentação.

Od definicji do skutecznej interwencji: jak rozumieć zjawisko bullyingu?
Authors: Poraj-Weder Magdalena , Wójcik Małgorzata , Mróz Jakub T.
Published: November 2024

W artykule dokonano analizy kryteriów definicyjnych zjawiska bullyingu (intencjonalność, powtarzalność, nierównowaga sił, kontekst społeczny) w odniesieniu do studium przypadku, akcentując praktyczne trudności z ich interpretacją i oceną. Omówiono również podział bullyingu ze względu na formę zachowania: fizyczny, werbalny, relacyjny, materialny, seksualny, cyber-, wskazując na ograniczenia wynikające z nadmiernej koncentracji na łatwych do zaobserwowania przejawach zjawiska, z pominięciem złożoności źródeł zachowań bullyingowych. Takie ujęcie ułatwia uporządkowanie pojęć i różnicowanie bullyingu od innych form przemocy rówieśniczej. Ponadto umożliwia zbudowanie pomostu pomiędzy konceptualizacją a jej praktycznym zastosowaniem, co wydaje się szczególnie ważne w kontekście wysokich wskaźników rozpowszechnienia bullyingu i potrzeby eliminacji jego dotkliwych i długofalowych skutków. Wnioski teoretyczne i praktyczne obejmują potrzebę bardziej złożonych modeli teoretycznych, zaawansowanych metod psychometrycznych oraz opracowywania strategii interwencyjnych, które uwzględniają złożoność zachowań jednostek oraz dynamikę grupy rówieśniczej.
Negatywne myśli wobec siebie wśród młodzieży licealnej – warsztat o czułym podejściu do siebie
Authors: Augustyniak-Laube Wojciech , Pełka Magdalena , Trybus Robert
Published: November 2024

Negatywne myśli o Ja wśród młodzieży są coraz częściej występującym zjawiskiem. Takie myśli mogą przyczyniać się do obniżenia poziomu satysfakcji z życia wśród młodzieży. System edukacji w Polsce nie gwarantuje uczniom szkół średnich lekcji, zajęć czy warsztatów w tym obszarze. Liczba psychologów szkolnych oraz pedagogów jest niewystarczająca w stosunku do liczby uczniów w szkołach średnich. Co za tym idzie, specjaliści w dziedzinie psychologii i edukacji nie są wstanie odpowiednio zaopiekować się stanem psychicznym młodzieży szkolnej. W naszym mniemaniu problem negatywnych myśli o Ja wśród młodzieży potrzebuje pilnego zaopiekowania i skutecznych rozwiązań. Najnowsze badania pokazują, że 24% młodzieży doświadcza zaniedbania emocjonalnego przed ukończeniem 12. roku życia (Drabarek, Szumiał, 2023). Według innych badań z kolei 30% uczniów z Ameryki Północnej i Europy uczestniczyło w aktach przemocy jako sprawca lub pokrzywdzony (Frey i in., 2009, za: Wójcik, Mondry, 2017). Ponadto na podstawie rozmów i wiadomości rejestrowanych w telefonach zaufania od początku trwania pierwszego lockdownu podczas pandemii COVID-19 zaobserwowano wzrost liczby rozmów dotyczących zdrowia psychicznego oraz znaczący wzrost interwencji w sytuacji zagrożenia zdrowia i życia dziecka (Szredzińska, Włodarczyk, 2021). Na podstawie przytoczonych danych można wywnioskować, że odpowiedni poziom satysfakcji z życia i poczucia szczęścia wśród młodzieży może być zagrożony. W związku z tym postanowiono stworzyć warsztat, który ma za zadanie nauczyć osoby w wieku między 14. a 18. rokiem życia radzić sobie z negatywnymi myślami o Ja. W warsztatach wzięło udział 62 licealistów w wieku 14–19 lat. Warsztat ma partycypacyjny charakter oraz jest oparty o metody psychologii pozytywnej. Prowadzący angażują uczestników w dyskusję oraz w zadania, podczas których zamienia się negatywne myśli na pozytywne. Podczas spotkań pilotażowych, wśród uczestników zostały zebrane informacje, które pokazują, jakich negatywnych myśli o Ja doświadczają młodzi ludzie. Wśród zebranych informacji można dostrzec, że najwięcej negatywnych myśli („jestem głupi/ głupia”) odnosi się do niskiej samooceny (43,5%). Wśród uczestników warsztatu niska samoocena wynika z niskiego poczucia sprawczości (44,4%) i braku wiary we własne umiejętności („nic nie potrafię”). Zebrane informacje podzielono na takie obszary jak: lęk o przyszłość, niska samoocena, poczucie samotności, poczucie bezsilności, obawy o zaliczenia w szkole, obawy związane ze związkami. Na ich podstawie powstanie kwestionariusz badający skalę zjawiska.
Efficacy of different extenders on sperm characteristics and lipid peroxidation during liquid storage of boar semen
Authors: SINGH ASHWANI KUMAR , SIDHU GURSHER SINGH , BISLA AMARJEET , KUMAR AJEET , HONPARKHE MRIGANK
Published: November 2024

The present study was aimed to test and evaluate the efficacy of six different extenders, Modena, Beltsville thawing solution (BTS), glucose sodium salt of EDTA-potassium sodium tartrate-sodium citrate (GEPS), Safe Cell, Androstar Plus (ASP) and M III on boar sperm parameters and lipid peroxidation during preservation. Sixty ejaculates were collected from six breeding Large White Yorkshire boars and preserved at 17°C for 120 h. Each ejaculate was evaluated for motility, viability, hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST), acrosome integrity, in vitro capacitation/acrosome reaction and lipid peroxidation based on malonaldehyde (MDA) levels at 0, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h of storage. The percentage of motile and viable spermatozoa, HOS-positive sperm population, intact acrosomes and in vitro capacitated/acrosome-reacted spermatozoa declined significantly from 0-120 h of preservation in all extenders. BTS and Modena extenders preserved higher sperm motility and viability from 24-120 h and acrosome integrity from 48-120 h of storage in comparison to remaining extenders. BTS maintained highest proportion of HOS-positive sperm at 96 h and 120 h and in vitro acrosome reaction percentage at 120 h of preservation among all extenders. From 24-120 h of storage, the MDA concentrations were lower in semen preserved in BTS and Modena than the other extenders. Thus, it can be concluded that both BTS and Modena were more effective among the tested extenders for preservation of boar semen at 17°C.
Breed, age, and gender correlations with discospondylitis in dogs: A radiological perspective
Authors: ALAGIC DZENITA HADZIJUNUZOVIC , HADZIMUSIC NEJRA
Published: November 2024

This study presents 14 cases of discospondylitis (DS) of the thoracic, lumbar and lumbosacral spine in dogs, providing a detailed analysis of breed, gender, age distribution, and the localization of radiologically diagnosed changes. Utilizing radiography, computed tomography (CT), and myelography, the research targeted the identification of typical DS indicators such as erosions of vertebral end-plates, narrowing of intervertebral spaces, and adjacent lytic changes. The study confirmed a higher susceptibility of DS in large breeds, particularly mixed breeds and German Shepherds, aligning with existing literature that links the condition to increased spinal strain. Significant findings include a notable prevalence of DS in male dogs and a higher incidence in young to middle-aged dogs, especially those aged 3 to 6 years. The lumbar segments L4-L6 were most frequently affected. The study emphasizes the need for early and accurate diagnosis, highlighting the effectiveness of CT in detecting subtle changes not always visible on initial radiographs. Overall, the research underscores the importance of recognizing breed and age-related predispositions to improve diagnostic approaches and treatment outcomes for discospondylitis in dogs.
Use of fibre palm as a local alternative litter material for broiler production: Effect on broilers’ welfare and performance
Authors: M BEN LARBI , SAIDANI M , SOUF I BEN , HAMDI N M
Published: November 2024

This study evaluated the quality of three types of bedding materials and investigated their effects on growth performance and the welfare state of broilers. The experiment was carried out on 48,540 broilers equitably distributed in three poultry houses with three distinct types of litter material: chopped wheat straw, wood shavings, and palm fibre. The quality of the litter was assessed by scoring each type of litter, determining their absorbency, humidity and counting darkling beetle population. Growth performance was measured and welfare parameters were evaluated. Litter evaluation results revealed that wheat straw retained less water (76%), was the most humid at the end of the trial (69.82%), and was in very bad condition since the third week of the experiment, while palm fibre has the highest water-holding capacity (175.6%). Compared to wood shavings, palm fibre had the same litter quality assessment until the fourth week of the trial, and moisture rates were comparable. Regarding growth performance, there were no significant differences among litter types. However, significant effects on the health state of broilers were noted. The highest incidence of footpad lesions, pododermatitis and hock burns were recorded in broilers raised on wheat straw litter, while wood shavings and fibre palm showed comparable results. Therefore, palm fibre could be a local alternative litter material and can replace wood-shaving litter in broiler farms.

Published: November 2024

The present study aimed to assess the breeding practices, trait preferences, and selection criteria among farmers, rearing three Indigenous Cattle (IC) breeds, i.e. Amritmahal, Hallikar, and Malnad Gidda in Karnataka. Data were gathered from 360 cattle owners across six districts which were the breeding tract of breeds using a semi-structured questionnaire. The findings revealed that oestrous detection is primarily identified through bellowing (95.83%) and mounting (81.39%). Breeding practices vary, with 59.72% of farmers relying exclusively on natural service (NS), while 21.67% use artificial insemination (AI). Malnad Gidda rearing farmers exclusively use NS, reflecting the breed’s recent recognition and the limited availability of AI services. Farmers prioritise traits such as high adaptability, multi-utility, and easy maintenance, with variations specific to each breed. Amritmahal is valued for its multi-utility and traction power; Hallikar for its traction power and religious/cultural significance, and Malnad Gidda for its adaptability and easy maintenance. Selection of cows is heavily based on conformation traits, with udder size and pelvic width being the most critical across all breeds. The study highlights farmers’ diverse preferences and practices, shaped by the distinct characteristics and utilities of each IC breed. These insights can guide breeding programs and policy decisions focussed on preserving and enhancing indigenous cattle breeds.

Studies on human resilience seek to understand why, when faced with the same adverse conditions, some individuals develop satisfactorily, while others succumb, develop pathologies or assume a victimized stance. This research aims to analyze the perception of Administration students at the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the Ponta Porã/MS University Unit, regarding the difficulties faced during their training during the pandemic period and its subsequent consequences. The investigation focuses on identifying the main challenges and impacts experienced by these students. To this end, the methodological procedures involved a broad review of scientific literature, based on dissertations, theses, articles and other relevant publications on the subject. The study, of a qualitative nature, is characterized as exploratory, since it addresses a subject that is still little explored. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire with closed and semi-structured questions, directed at students in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years of the Administration course. The results reveal that the challenges faced by students during remote classes included: i) adaptation to the virtual format, ii) difficulty with the methodology, iii) lack of motivation, and iv) discomfort in attending classes at home. These factors show that Emergency Remote Teaching was one of the main obstacles. However, it was found that many students developed new skills throughout the remote classes. They demonstrated patience, reinvention, learning capacity, adaptation, and resilience to face and overcome the imposed difficulties.

The research aimed to analyze the importance of Primary Health Care (PHC) in the promotion of collective health in Brazil, highlighting its contributions, challenges and potentialities within the context of the Unified Health System (SUS). The methodology used was a bibliographic research, which involved the review of articles, books and official documents on PHC and public health. The results showed that PHC, by prioritizing prevention, health promotion, and universal and equitable access to care, plays a crucial role in improving the health conditions of the population, especially the most vulnerable. In addition, PHC contributes to the reduction of social inequalities and to the integration of care between the different levels of the SUS. However, the survey also revealed significant challenges, such as lack of resources, regional inequality in access to services, and a shortage of professionals in some areas, which still limit the effectiveness of PHC in some regions of the country. The conclusion indicated that, although there are obstacles to be overcome, PHC has enormous potential to transform the health model, promoting a fairer and more efficient system, especially when there are adequate investments, continuous training of professionals, and strengthening of public health policies. The survey reinforces the importance of continuing to improve PHC to achieve a more inclusive and equitable health system.

Timber Engineering Notebook No. 9: Glued laminated timber structures (part 2)
Authors:   Milner Associates (on behalf of the Structural Timber Association)
Published: November 2024

In Timber Engineering Notebook No. 8, the engineering principles of open frame forms of construction, including post and beam and rigid frame construction, were presented. The most common timber material used – glued laminated timber (glulam), was introduced. This Timber Engineering Notebook introduces the construction and connection details appropriate to open frame construction and provides a worked example for a dowelled glulam portal haunch connection. The determination of individual fastener capacities for nails, screws and bolts is not covered here, and reference should be made to the 'References and further reading' section for further guidance on the structural design of these components. However, to illustrate the design of a dowelled portal haunch, the derivation of characteristic dowel capacities loaded in double shear is presented in the 'Structural notes' section. For information regarding the design of connections for resistance to fire, reference should be made to Timber Engineering Notebook No. 7.
Leveraging artificial intelligence in ediscovery: enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and ethical considerations
Authors: Stjepanović Bogdana
Published: November 2024

Developments in digital technologies over the past few decades have profoundly affected every area of law, from the practice of individual lawyers to court procedures. Today, systems can draft documents, conduct legal research, disclose documents in litigation, conduct due diligence, provide legal guidance, and even resolve litigation online. The traditionally conservative legal profession is now compelled to embrace these changes to stay relevant in the changing world. Discovery is a crucial part of court procedure in common law jurisdictions. It allows each party to obtain the information needed to prepare for trial, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of their case, and develop strategies for success. As more information is stored electronically, the need for an electronic form of this litigation phase emerged. Since 2006, electronic discovery (eDiscovery) has been officially recognized. Electronic discovery, or eDiscovery, refers to the process of identifying, collecting, and producing electronically stored information (ESI) in response to a request for production in a lawsuit or investigation. ESI encompasses a wide range of digital data, including emails, online documents, spreadsheets, databases, digital images, presentations, audio and video files, social media posts, and websites. The primary purpose of eDiscovery is to support litigation, but the processes of identifying, preserving, collecting, and analyzing ESI are applicable to any organization facing legal or regulatory compliance requirements. Companies in EMEA and APAC regions, even without formal eDiscovery rules, use the technology in anticipation of litigation or regulatory action, to redact sensitive information, conduct internal investigations, perform fact-finding audits, and manage company data. In this article we are going to analyze the eDiscovery process in general, including its phases, advantages, and disadvantages. It will also examine the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on eDiscovery. Given that both AI and eDiscovery are highly complex and rapidly evolving fields, the aim of this article is to provide a preliminary overview of AI’s use in eDiscovery and to explore potential future developments.
Scholarly systematization of legal norms: the case of digital payments and virtual assets
Authors: Jozipović Šime , Keršić Marin
Published: November 2024

Throughout history, legal theory has undergone continuous development. With the growing complexity of modern society, regulatory requirements have been increasing while contractual relationships have grown more sophisticated. Technological progress usually precedes regulation. This is only natural, as law serves to regulate the relationships between legal subjects concerning legal objects. However, this also means that regulation always lags one step behind innovation. Particularly in rapidly developing areas of technology, regulation can become complex, inconsistent and insufficiently balanced. The scholarly systematization of legal norms has become an important mechanism to mitigate such issues. Even more, scholarly systematization of legal norms in new technologies has sparked entire new areas of law. (At least) five reasons to approach legal norms regulating innovation from the perspective of the scholarly systematization of law are: first, the identification of valid legal norms is easier; second, it helps with legal interpretation, especially systematic interpretation; third, it serves to identify and resolve antinomies between norms; fourth, it is the basis for the formation of legal disciplines; and fifth, it impacts the jurisdictions of organs. The aim of this paper is to analyse the impact of the scholarly systematization of legal norms in the fin-tech space, based on recent key innovations including crypto-assets and central bank digital currencies.
New actors or new tools – algorithms in employment and labour relations
Authors: Kuzminac Mina , Reljanović Mario
Published: November 2024

It can be said that, for more than a decade, algorithms seriously affected the work processes around the world. Despite this, in most countries, there are only pioneering attempts to analyze their impact on the quality of the enjoyment of workers’ rights and to prevent or sanction the possible abuses of algorithmic decision-making. The research follows some basic recorded bad practices, both during the hiring process and in the work process itself. The goal is to point out the fact that algorithms in themselves represent a significant technological achievement that makes labour relations more efficient and easier, but that precise normative limits of their usage have to be set. Algorithms are therefore neither good nor bad themselves, as good or bad are more of parameters by which their functioning has been defined. Guided by this idea, authors try to point out basic principles of prior and subsequent control of algorithmic decision-making, in order to preserve or improve the quality of the achieved rights of workers without, at the same time, diminishing the importance of automation of data processing in the work process. Available current literature on this topic, as well as normative sources and the most significant judicial practice, were used in the research.
Dispoziční fond T. G. Masaryka v pavučině klientelistických sítí a peněžních toků meziválečného Hradu
Authors: Gecko Tomáš
Published: November 2024

The study analyses the clientelism of the interwar Castle, which is interpreted as a cluster of many separate social networks functioning along multiple institutional and personnel axes. The argument focuses on the monetary funds behind the Castle’s clientelism. Influential actors representing the Castle carried out monetary transfers to subsidize the media, civic and scientific institutions as well as cultural, memory, charitable or legionnaires’ organizations. They sponsored related personalities, politicians, and journalists. Through money, they interfered in public discourse. The study analyses the mechanisms of the aforementioned clientelistic ties with an emphasis on the Discretionary Fund of President T. G. Masaryk, which was established in 1919 and remained the backbone of the Castle’s money transfers throughout the interwar period.
