Recent Court Decision – Compensation Due to Influence of Parent Company
Authors: Yeroshenko X.
Published: January 2025

This case is another example of case law from Czech Republic, which elaborates on the frequent use of the approach by the tax administration of deeming notional (hypothetical) a transaction between a taxpayer and its controlling shareholder. In this particular case, the Czech entity taxpayer was selling automotive parts to both related and unrelated parties but for a period over 12 years generated no taxable profits and was in a position of accumulated loss. The tax administration disagreed with the functional profile analysis, in particular with the risk control outcomes and argued that the key entrepreneurial risks had been under control of the shareholder. As a consequence, the tax administration deemed notional the transaction that required compensation of the loss of the Czech entity. The tax assessment was performed on the basis of the TNMM. The taxpayer challenged this approach but the regional court held in favour of the tax administration.

La fragmentación del suelo de Quito ha provocado la desaparición progresiva de los bosques. Frente a la expansión de la mancha urbana los activistas han recurrido al discurso de los derechos de la naturaleza y el derecho a la ciudad para exigir al municipio un tránsito del urbanismo neoliberal al urbanismo ecológico. Este artículo cuestiona si se puede resolver los conflictos ecológicos sobre el uso y ocupación del suelo en los bosques de Quito a través del diálogo entre los derechos de la naturaleza y el derecho a la ciudad. Los casos del bosque Guangüiltagua y del bosque de Cumbayá permiten analizar la forma en que se planifica la ciudad de Quito y las respuestas de la sociedad civil para cristalizar el urbanismo ecológico, y más específicamente, el urbanismo de la naturaleza.
Teacher Education: Prospective Teachers’ Expectations of Addressing Indigenous Students’ Identities
Authors: Cherubini, Ed.D. Lorenzo
Published: January 2025

School board and school administrators, as well as classroom teachers, are invited to re-examine the complex socio-historical outcomes that have had an adverse effect upon Indigenous student engagement and achievement in public schools. Recent policy initiatives in Ontario have focused upon improving the educational experiences of Indigenous students in publicly-funded schools. To better inform policy discussions and the relevant literature, this study examines the perceptions of teacher candidates prior to their teaching assignments in K to 12 public schools in southwestern Ontario. It investigates prospective teachers’ expectations of their professional teacher education program in terms of preparing them to address Indigenous students’ diverse learning needs, and their own awareness of issues related to identity and social justice as reflected in the goals of the 2007 Policy Framework and the other respective Ontario Ministry of Education documents. The mixed-methods study is in response to a void in the research that too often has not considered preservice teacher perceptions of the relationship between their learning, the professional program of study, and their actual experiences in the classroom as student-teachers. The findings of the study include participants’ expectation that there will be significant differences between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students’ learning needs and preferences, and that issues of diversity will implicate significantly on their practice. Moreover, prospective teachers expect to be directly supported in facilitating culturally-responsive classrooms.

Authors: Starygina S.D. , Nuriyev N.K.
Published: January 2025

В историческом развитии, для каждой последующей индустрии необходимы массы кадров-ресурсов, способных решать более сложные проблемы, чем предыдущие. Сегодня образовательные технологии должны обеспечить кадрами Индустрию 4.0, которая представляет собой кибер-физическую систему, т.е. систему, которая управляется человеком и нейросетями в интеграции. Из этого следует, что образовательные системы должны быть также кибер-физическими, а, следовательно, иметь параметрический формат организации, т.е. быть параметрическими дидактическими системами. На практике это означает, что в дидактической системе преподаватель должен иметь кибер-ассистента. Компетентность предполагает высокий уровень развития актуальных интеллектуальных ресурсных потенциалов разума и умение эффективно работать в коллективе. В работе разум-интеллект рассматривается как природой данная человеку саморазвивающиеся динамическая система, предназначенная для решения проблем. Актуальный потенциал разума любого человека ограничен сложностью проблем, которые он способен разрешить. В работе идентифицированы ключевые параметры (параметры порядка интеллекта), значения которых характеризуют актуальный ресурсный потенциал разума и тем самым показатель выживаемости человека в ресурсообменной проблемной среде Индустрии 4.0. Разработана дидактическая платформа (новая параметро-центристская парадигма обучения) для проектирования образовательных кибер-физических систем. Доказано, что в кибер-физических дидактических системах возможно реализовать подготовку инженерных кадров для Индустрии 4.0 требуемого количества и качества.

The increasing demand for sustainability in sports facilities has driven the adoption of green technologies aimed at reducing energy consumption, water usage, and waste generation. These technologies not only contribute to environmental conservation but also improve operational efficiency and reduce long-term costs for facility management. This article reviews the implementation of green technologies in sports facilities and assesses their impact on operational efficiency and sustainability. A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted, focusing on renewable energy technologies, smart energy management systems, water conservation technologies, waste management innovations, and the use of sustainable materials in the construction and retrofitting of sports facilities. The review also explores the economic, technological, and operational challenges that affect the adoption of these technologies, as well as potential future directions for innovation and policy support. Green technologies, such as solar panels, smart HVAC systems, rainwater harvesting, and waste-to-energy solutions, have been shown to significantly reduce energy and water consumption while minimizing waste output. Despite the high initial costs, the long-term financial savings from reduced utility bills and maintenance costs make these technologies a valuable investment for sports facilities. However, barriers such as the high cost of installation, technological limitations in certain regions, and operational resistance present challenges to widespread adoption. The article highlights the importance of adopting green technologies in sports facilities to achieve both sustainability and operational efficiency. It calls for more research on scalable solutions and policy initiatives to encourage broader implementation, emphasizing the need for collaboration between facility managers, policymakers, and technology providers.

Authors: Ferayanti Ferayanti , Varlitya Cut Risya , Sitepu Novi Indriyani , Seftarita Chenny
Published: January 2025

Changes in population and advancements in information and communication technology (ICT) have significantly transformed the global economy. While the individual effects of these factors on economic growth have been extensively studied, little is known about their interaction, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic introduced new economic dynamics by altering consumer behavior and accelerating the adoption of digital technology. This study investigates the combined impact of ICT advancements and demographic shifts on Indonesia's economic growth before and after the pandemic. Using panel data from 2015 to 2021, a regression model explores the correlations between these factors. The results reveal that e-commerce, internet usage, and demographic factors positively influence economic growth. However, a negative correlation is observed between economic growth and mobile phone usage. Notably, economic expansion driven by ICT was more pronounced in the pre-COVID-19 period than in the post-pandemic era. To fully harness the potential of digital transformation and sustain growth, government interventions are essential. These include supporting MSMEs in developing digital capabilities, accelerating digital infrastructure development, enhancing digital human resources, streamlining regulations, and leveraging big data to guide policy decisions.

Hannah Arendt And Amartya Sen On Freedom
Authors: Leuehaq Timoteus Ata , Fatlolon Costantinus
Published: January 2025

This article discusses Arendt and Sen’s concept of freedom. The two thinkers discuss this topic in the context of social and political life. The main question that this article addresses is: “What are the similarities and differences between Arend and Sen on freedom?” Using a critical analysis approach, this article argues that although these two thinkers come from different eras their thoughts on freedom have some agreements and specific differences. Their agreement here points to some similarities, supports and connections between their thoughts whereas the different positions here refer to some specific ideas which is mainly due to some specific or peculiar context of their ideas on freedom. The similarity between the two thinkers is that they indirectly agree that freedom is concerned with the capability or all the possible ways to be and to do, and the absence of repressive policies. Nonetheless, Arendt’s reflections on freedom were not in an atmosphere of socio-political emergency marked very seriously poverty, injustice, tyranny, and political pressure. Sen, on the other hand, was precisely in that atmosphere: the problem of welfare, contemporary poverty, injustices, contemporary capitalism.

Published: January 2025

The study examined economic education and counselling in addressing naira notes: Impacts on Point-of-Sale businesses in Abuja. The scarcity of naira notes, exacerbated by recent monetary policies and economic disruptions, has significantly affected small and medium-sized businesses relying on POS services for cash-based transactions. This study investigates how economics education can empower people and businesses with financial literacy, adaptive strategies, and innovative solutions to mitigate the adverse effects of currency scarcity. Counselling interventions are also examined as a means to support business owners and individuals in managing stress, navigating financial uncertainty, and adopting alternative payment methods. The study revealed that POS businesses experienced a sharp decline in transaction volumes as customers struggled to access cash. To cope with the scarcity, many POS operators raised transaction fees, leading to customer dissatisfaction and reduced patronage. The scarcity of cash led to increased queues, delayed transactions, and frustration among customers and operators. There was a notable increase in the use of digital payment methods, such as bank transfers and mobile money, as an alternative to cash transactions, and economic education provided insights into monetary policies and their implications, enabling businesses to adapt more effectively to the scarcity. The study recommended that capacity-building programs in collaboration with financial institutions, fintech companies, and government agencies organise and train operators on integrating these technologies into daily operations for seamless service delivery, among several others.

Published: January 2025

Background and objectives: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate test guides dentists in the suspicion of inflammatory reactions or infections of the dental focus. In 1981, Kondi mentioned that any delay after blood sampling for the purpose of determining the ESR can lead to a false shortening of the result. The literature indicates that failure to determine within 1 hour and remixing of blood are not recommended. The objectives of our study were to verify the stability of the determinations within 4 hours after storage at room temperature and after 12 hours of refrigeration, involving also the remixing manoeuvre. Materials and Methods:The study was performed in the “St. SpiridonˮHospital of Iași, Romania, on 75 samples, taking also into account the rejected samples presenting source of error. Results: The study showed that 4 (5.33%) samples had an inadequate volume, 3 (4%) showed erythrocyte and fibrin in suspension, preventing the interpretation of the result, whereas the clot was identified in 4 (5.33%) samples. Following 4 hours after the first determination, respectively after 12 hours of refrigeration, rebalancing at room temperature and remixing, forout of the 64 (85.33%) determinations the results were comparable showing a close correlation (r = 0.988 / 0.993 / 0.990, p 0.001) with the first determination. Conclusions: The study showed that performing the test 4 hours after sampling, refrigerating and remixing the sample does not influence the stability of the determination, so that, also in the case of dental patients, the moment of sampling and the time elapsed until the determination of the test, do not influence the therapeutic conduct.

Background: The study aims to investigate the interaction between genetic polymorphisms of interleukins IL-1A rs1800587, IL-1B rs1143634, and IL-1RN rs419598 and dento-maxillary anomalies (DMAn) in periodontal disease (PD). Methods: Conducted at the “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania, this pilot study involved two groups: patients with DMAn and PD, and patients with PD without DMAn. We examined IL-1A rs1800587, IL-1B rs1143634, and IL-1RN rs419598 polymorphisms using microfluidic SNP genotyping. Results: Statistical analysis of genotypes indicated the following: (1) IL-1A rs1800587: The C/C genotype also showed significant trends (p=0.057), being more frequently found in PD patients without DMAn (90% vs. 40%); (2) IL-1B rs1143634: Significant trends were found for the C/T genotype (p=0.057), which was more frequently found in patients with PD and DMAn (60% vs. 10%); (3) IL-1RN rs419598: The analysis did not show statistically significant differences between the two groups (p=0.332). Statistical analysis of alleles indicated the following: (1) IL-1A rs1800587 and IL-1B rs1143634: Significant trends were found for the T alleles (p=0.057), which were more frequent in patients with PD and DMAn; (2) IL-1RN rs419598: The allele frequency analysis did not indicate statistically significant differences between the two groups (p=1.000). Conclusion: Combined analysis of genotypes and alleles indicates the following: (1) The frequencies of T alleles and C/T genotypes of the IL-1A rs1800587 and IL-1B rs1143634 genes were statistically significantly higher in patients with PD and DMAn. (2) The frequencies of C/C genotypes of IL-1A rs1800587 and IL-1B rs1143634 genes were statistically significantly higher in PD patients without DMAn. (3) No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups regarding the frequency of genotypes or alleles of the IL-1RN rs419598 gene.

The use of bioceramics in modern dentistry has significantly evolved, offering enhanced clinical outcomes in various procedures. This article reviews the development and application of bioceramic materials, focusing on their biocompatibility, ability to stimulate tissue regeneration, and chemical stability. Notable materials such as Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine are highlighted for their role in endodontic treatments and bone regeneration. The paper also discusses innovations in the synthesis and functionalization of bioceramics, including doping with various elements and the integration of nanotechnology, which have led to advancements such as faster setting times and improved antimicrobial properties. Furthermore, the article provides a historical perspective on the transition from early bioceramics to bioactive materials like hydroxyapatite, emphasizing their impact on implantology and bone tissue regeneration. The future directions of bioceramics, including their potential in regenerative medicine and the development of materials with enhanced antimicrobial activity, are explored.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the the measurements of the circle of Willis (CW) arteries diameters in a Romanian population. Material and methods: We performed a retrospective study on a sample of 221 adult patients (≥18 years-old), hospitalized in the Emergency Clinical Hospital “Prof. Dr. N. Oblu” from Iași, Romania, over a period of 12 years, who died during hospitalization and on whom an autopsy was performed. Demographic data (age, gender, residence), causes of death and the outer diameters of CW constituent arteries were collected. There were 221 subjects, who were divided into four groups, according to the association of patient’s cause of death with the presence of anatomical variants of CW. 76.01% of all subjects presented cerebrovascular disease (CVDs) and anatomical variant of the CW, thus representing the great majority. Patients “with CVDs and anatomical variants of CW” were older with about 4 years compared to the other three categories of patients, having an average age of 64.17 ±14.22 years. 56.3% of those “without CVDs and with anatomical variant of CW” and 62.5% of those patients deceased ”with CVDs and anatomical variants of CW” had rural residences. 68.8% of all cases ”without CVDs, but with anatomical variants of CW” were female patients. 37.5% of the patients “with CVDs and anatomical variants of CW” and 43.8% of the patients “without CVDs, but with anatomical variants of CW” lived in the urban environment. Statistically significant differences were observed between the mean outer diameters of the arteries of CW and the patient’s cause of death (p .001) in case of anterior communicating artery (AcoA), right anterior cerebral artery (ACA), right and left posterior communicating arteries (PcoAs), and right posterior cerebral artery (PCA). The smallest external diameters of ACoA, right ACA and left PcoA were identified in patients ”with CVDs and anatomical variants of CW”. Our research has provided evidence that a smaller diameter of the right ACA and left PcoA are associated with the occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases.

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe side effect of antiresorptive drugs - Bisphosphonates (BPs) and RANKL inhibitor (denosumab) - prescribed for treatment of bone malignancies and severe osteoporosis. Non-surgical treatment may be a valid option for MRONJ in patients ineligible for surgery. Published observational studies have demonstrated that a common purine derivative - pentoxifylline in combination with tocopherol are potentially useful in the nonsurgical management of MRONJ. The aim of this study was to assess the therapeutic impact and possible side effects of treatment with pentoxifylline in combination with tocopherol in patients with MRONJ. Patients were subdivided into two groups: the test group, comprising of 20 patients, underwent treatment with 800 mg pentoxifylline in combination with 1000 IU of tocopherol, whereas the other patients formed the control group. After the 6-month treatment course, the statistically significant results of our study show that treatment with pentoxifylline in association with tocopherol is efficacious for managing MRONJ nonsurgically. However, larger clinical studies are needed to optimize dose and duration. No serious adverse effects occurred.

In the present study we aimed to investigate the effects of therapy of combined endo -periodontal lesions in patients who underwent surgical treatment with debridement flap plus resorbable membrane placement (GTR) and debridement flap plus platelet enriched fibrin (A-PRF) on periodontal clinical and radiologic parameters. The study aims to investigate the specific effects on mandibular premolar teeth affected by combined endo-periodontal lesions. An important contribution has been made to the understanding of how these therapeutic procedures influence the course and outcome of endo periodontal lesions. To date, according to the information identified in the literature, this is the first study to evaluate these effects on mandibular premolar teeth with true endo periodontal combined lesions. This research has the potential to provide essential information on the optimal ways to treat this type of lesion. By evaluating and comparing the efficacy of two distinct therapeutic protocols, we aimed to identify the most effective and promising strategies for the management of these delicate clinical conditions. We opted for unit tooth selection to remove the risk of factors compromising the clarity of the results, such as furcation lesions at the level of pluri-radicular teeth or variations related to anatomo-physiological particularities in different areas of the maxilla.
