PARQUE DO VALE ENCANTADO:
Authors: Serpa Angelo
Published: November 2023

O Vale Encantado é uma área de Mata Atlântica em Salvador-Bahia, com cerca de 100 hectares, mais de duzentas espécies arbóreas e uma centena de espécies de aves, além de dezenas de espécies de mamíferos, répteis e anfíbios, localizada no bairro de Patamares. Em 2016, tornou-se um parque ecológico constante do Plano Diretor de Desenvolvimento Urbano. Porém, em 10/12/2019, a Câmara de Vereadores aprovou o Projeto de Lei n. 299/19 alterando os limites do Parque, alegando-se a utilização de cartografias desatualizadas para sua delimitação, que também não teria levado em conta a situação fundiária dos terrenos, com a inclusão indevida de propriedades particulares e institucionais. Desde a aprovação do PLE 299, alguns habitantes da cidade vêm se mobilizando contra a mudança dos limites do Vale Encantado. Eles argumentam que, além de funcionar como refúgio para a fauna, sua preservação é crucial para o microclima regional e a saúde ambiental de toda a cidade. Em janeiro de 2020, entidades científicas recomendaram a criação do Refúgio de Vida Silvestre do Vale Encantado. Milhares assinaram petição online apoiando a iniciativa. O movimento de mobilização (sobretudo de classe média) pela criação desta área de conservação em Salvador mostra as contradições de uma cidade que faz parte da rede Cities for Forests e, ao mesmo tempo, destrói sua vegetação em função de interesses imobiliários e de projetos de mobilidade como o BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) e o Metrô. O movimento pela criação do Parque enfrenta resistência de construtoras e incorporadoras, mas vem ganhando também adesão da população e obtendo algumas vitórias.
CONTRIBUIÇÕES DAS ABORDAGENS MAIS-QUE-REPRESENTACIONAIS PARA A GEOGRAFIA DA RELIGIÃO
Authors: Silva Leonardo Luiz Silveira da , Costa Alfredo
Published: November 2023

Este artigo parte da premissa que as abordagens tradicionais da geografia da religião dão foco excessivo no plano material e na descrição de comportamentos coletivos, negligenciando a imaterialidade e a excepcionalidade das identidades como expressões religiosas. Além disso, considera que esses enfoques recorrem comumente ao trato ontológico do sagrado e da religião como um todo, em percurso similar ao da evolução da abordagem cultural nos estudos geográficos. Nesse contexto, objetiva-se evidenciar as virtudes da perspectiva relacional na geografia da religião com ênfase nos pressupostos mais-que-representacionais. A discussão ora apresentada é essencialmente epistemológica, e traz esse prisma como caminho para superar os vícios das abordagens tradicionais por meio de elementos dos campos imaterial, trajetivo e identitário. Além disso, propõe análises que colocam os atores humanos e não-humanos como parte de uma rede. Dessa forma, é possível pensar o sagrado e a religião como um processo holístico, que é mais do que um conjunto de crenças e práticas, apresentando-se como um espaço de relações, que integra o material e o imaterial e o humano e o não-humano.

CAMINHOS TERRESTRES NA CAPITANIA DE MINAS GERAIS E FORMAÇÃO SOCIOESPACIAL BRASILEIRA
Authors: Leal Letícia , Porto Gil Carlos Silveira
Published: November 2023

O uso do território brasileiro no período colonial resultou do interesse de diferentes agentes em se apropriar da natureza para fins, sobretudo, econômicos. Entre esses agentes, destacam-se a Igreja Católica, a Coroa, os comerciantes e a nascente classe de proprietários de terras, entre outros. A exploração do ouro na capitania de Minas Gerais no Setecentos foi parte do projeto lusitano de exploração da colônia. Os caminhos e as estradas, interpretados à época como condição e produto da formação socioespacial brasileira, tiveram papel decisivo no projeto colonizador. A discussão realizada neste artigo resultou de consulta a artigos, dissertações, teses, livros, documentos e mapas históricos que possuíam informações empíricas sobre as Minas do período estudado. Evidenciou-se que a escolha da categoria formação socioespacial foi primorosa na recomposição de uma geografia do passado ao discutir o papel dos caminhos e das estradas no projeto colonizador.

Published: November 2023

O planejamento do território e as transformações da paisagem rural e urbana destacam a negligência do ser humano em manter uma relação sustentável com a natureza. É nesse cenário que fica evidente a necessidade do conhecimento geográfico no contexto do crescimento urbano e de subsídio a diretrizes urbanas. Com bases geossistêmicas, as cartografias geomorfológica e geológica representam uma proposta integradora para a análise da dinâmica dos sistemas natural e antrópico. O presente trabalho buscou destacar as características inerentes ao mapeamento geológico-geomorfológico do município de Alfenas – MG para subsidiar a análise das características morfodinâmicas associadas a riscos geológicos no município para aplicação no plano diretor municipal. Foram estabelecidas classes morfodinâmicas associadas aos processos de cada unidade mapeada, além da descrição de cada complexo geológico e suas respectivas relações com o relevo e com a dinâmica da paisagem.

Published: November 2023

A produção de mapas participativos vem sendo estimulada como instrumento de lutas sociais pelo reconhecimento territorial. Por seu caráter dialético e dialógico, este também pode ser um valioso recurso no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de Geografia na educação básica. Com este objetivo, durante a produção do Atlas Escolar de Areado (MG), articulamos métodos da cartografia escolar com os da cartografia social, estimulando estudantes a contribuírem na elaboração de mapas temáticos de aspectos sociais, culturais e ambientais do município. As narrativas trazidas pelos alunos e alunas foram analisadas, convertidas em pictogramas e mapeadas em uma linguagem mais acessível, facilitando os processos de alfabetização e letramento cartográficos. Para a produção dos mapas foram utilizados os softwares ArcGis 10.8 e Google Earth. O processo de ensino-aprendizagem mútuo permitiu a ampliação da percepção crítica dos alunos sobre o espaço geográfico onde vivem e sobre as relações socioespaciais existentes que, outrora, eram desconhecidas.

Published: November 2023

Diabetes affects 10% of adults aged 20 to 79 globally, caused by insufficient insulin production. Mobile apps are effective in managing this chronic condition. This study aimed to investigate the experience of using mobile applications for healthcare patients with diabetes in their daily activities. Ten participants diagnosed with diabetes were invited to evaluate five Android mobile applications using a predefined protocol. We used the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) to assess the usability and user experience of the apps. In addition, the Heuristic Evaluations for mHealth (HE4EH) checklist was used by three domain experts to assess the apps. The results showed that one of the five apps had issues with the stimulus and novelty aspects of user experience. Among all the apps, the novelty had the lowest Likert scale value. While most apps had creative designs and attractive interfaces, the heuristic assessment revealed many violations and concerns about instruction and suitability due to a lack of crucial information for monitoring user routines.

Published: November 2023

In the present study, capric acid and myrisic acid were first selected to prepare a capric acid-myrisic acid eutectic mixture using a compounding method. Then, the thermal properties, structural stability and weight loss of capric acid-myrisic acid eutectic mixtures were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared and thermogravimetry. Finally, the activation energy and reaction order of the capric acid-myrisic acid eutectic mixture during solid-liquid transformation were calculated using the phase change kinetic methods of Kissinger and Ozawa. The results indicate that capric acid-myrisic acid eutectic mixtures have good thermal cycle stability and stable energy storage in practical applications. The activation energies of capric acid-myrisic acid eutectic mixtures were calculated using the phase change kinetic methods of Kissinger and Ozawa, with values of 345.6 KJ/mol and 333.3 KJ/mol, respectively, indicating that both phase change kinetic methods have good accuracy.

Zur Bedeutung der Grundlagenfächer in der juristischen Ausbildung
Authors: Bäcker Carsten
Published: November 2023

Die Ausbildung von Juristen an der Universität lässt sich, wie alles auf der Welt, aus mehreren Perspektiven betrachten. Von besonderer Bedeutung dürfte, je nach Erkenntnisinteresse, die ökonomische, die politische, die soziologische oder auch die historische Perspektive sein: Was kostet die Ausbildung (wen), was nutzt sie (wem)? Wie sollten unsere angehenden Juristen ausgebildet werden, welche Kompetenzen sollten sie erwerben, welche Aufgaben sollten sie im Gemeinwesen erfüllen? Welche Aufgaben erfüllen sie tatsächlich, wie verhalten sich Juristen dabei (warum), welche Faktoren beeinflussen den Ausbildungserfolg tatsächlich, und wie ist das zu erklären? Wie (und warum) hat sich die Juristenausbildung zu dem entwickelt, was sie heute ist, was lässt das für die Zukunft erwarten und welche Lehren können wir daraus für unsere gegenwärtige Ausbildung ziehen? Diese Perspektiven und die damit verbundenen tiefen Fragen bleiben hier ausgespart. Es soll um einen voreingenommenen Standpunkt zu der Frage gehen, welche Bedeutung den juristischen Grundlagenfächern in der universitären Ausbildung zukommt.

Published: November 2023

Background: Pregnant women’s knowledge about labor analgesia and the acceptance rate of this method are still undesirable in developing countries. Objectives: This study aimed to examine pregnant women’s knowledge, attitude, and acceptance of painless labor. Methods: The present observational study was conducted in a referral university hospital in Northern Iran from September 2022 to April 2023. Eligible women were interviewed; the data were analyzed in SPSS v. 22 and expressed in numbers and percentages. A P-value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The data from 369 eligible women with an average age of 30.39 ± 5.42 years were analyzed. Of these women, 7.6% had minimal information about labor analgesia, and 92.4% declared they were almost aware of the procedure. Only 6 women (1.8%) believed that the anesthesiologists were responsible for performing labor analgesia, while 218 (63.9%) considered it the duty of obstetricians-gynecologists. Besides, 294 women (86.2%) requested this method, and 259 (76%) were ready to pay for it. Moreover, 166(48.7%) had no fear of the procedure. Nonpharmacologic methods were the first choice for 164 (48.1%), while Entonox was the last choice for 26 (7.6%). A significant association was observed between maternal level of education and willingness to pay for painless delivery (P = 0.006), knowledge of who performs it (P = 0.015), requesting a painless delivery (P = 0.0001), options related to the preferred method for painless delivery (P = 0.001), and being ready to pay for a painless delivery service (P = 0.0001). Conclusions: Despite the poor maternal knowledge regarding the process of painless labor, the majority of the women requested the method and were ready to pay for it. These promising findings encourage the application of practical strategies to remove barriers.

Published: November 2023

Background: Poor quality of life (QOL) can affect sleep quality in seniors due to its wide impact on the daily functioning of individuals. The place of residence is also considered one of the important factors in the physical and mental health of seniors. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between QOL and sleep quality in resident and nonresident seniors in Shahroud City. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 232 nonresident and 78 resident seniors in Shahroud City, Iran, in 2019. The participants were selected using the convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included a demographic survey, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). After data collection, data analysis was performed using ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and independent t-test in SPSS version 19. Results: There was a significant relationship between QOL (dimensions and total score) and all sleep quality dimensions (P < 0.05) except for sleep efficiency (P = 0.214) and sleep disorder with mental dimension of QOL (P = 0.092). There was no significant difference in sleep quality between resident and nonresident seniors except for the variables of sleep duration and use of sleeping pills (P = 0.34). There was also a significant difference in the QOL of the seniors in terms of age (P < 0.001), sex (P = 0.021), marital status (P < 0.001), lifestyle (P < 0.001), education (P < 0.001), and income adequacy (P = 0.023). Conclusions: Considering the strong relationship between QOL and sleep quality, implementing interventions (such as proper nutrition education, hot showers, etc.) aimed at improving sleep quality can positively affect QOL. It is also suggested to consider individual effective factors (such as more family support) to improve QOL.

Partim de les aportacions de referents en la matèria, que ens n'ofereixen diferents perspectives sobre la creativitat a l'era de la digitalització, tant des de l’òptica històrica, com la tècnica, l'artística i l’ètica. La necessitat d’establir marcs de col·laboració transdisciplinaris pren una rellevància cabdal per aprofundir en la comprensió del que amaga el concepte de creativitat digital i l'ús emergent de la intel·ligència artificial en aquest àmbit. Finalment, es mostren també tres experiències pràctiques vinculades al context universitari, on la intel·ligència artificial generativa ha penetrat ja de forma destacada, tant en el context acadèmic com pel desenvolupament d’altres iniciatives. Disposeu aquí, doncs, d’un nou diàleg UPCArts que vol promoure i posar de manifest la importància d’establir una comunicació humanística entre la tècnica i l'art, en relació amb la creativitat digital, en el marc universitari però obrint la universitat al món.

Published: November 2023

Abstract. The article emphasizes the importance of industry for ensuring economic development. In this regard, examples from international experience are given. At the same time, the article emphasizes that natural-economic advantages have a large share in the formation of the economy, and in our modern era, scientific-technical progress, innovations and investments have an important role. In order to ensure economic proportionality and competition, the Hirishman-Herfindahl index is calculated for various sectors of the economy, and in this regard, we have used it in our research. The result shows that there is no centralization in the country's economy in general, but there may be certain negative and unpleasant trends in the mining industry in general economic development. The purpose of the article is to show the approaches related to the development of the non-oil sector and evaluate the current situation of the non-oil sector. The results of the article - in terms of the potential development of the non-oil sector, there are low levels of concentration tendencies, which can be an obstacle to the development of competition in the country and the creation of new jobs. The Hirschman-Herfindahl index was calculated in terms of the originality of the article- the sustainability of the development of the non-oil sector and the development of the national economy.
Osteoid-osteoma and osteoblastoma with rare localization – presentation of 4 clinical cases
Authors: Patrikov Kircho , Ivanov Yordan
Published: November 2023

Osteoid-osteoma and osteoblastoma are the two most common representatives of benign bone-forming tumors. Although both tumors are well known to the orthopedic community in Bulgaria, there are several rare localizations that would present difficulties in the diagnostic and therapeutic process. The purpose of our report is to present 4 pediatric cases with rare localization of osteoid-osteoma and osteoblastoma, diagnosed and treated in our clinic in the period between 2020-2022. The presented rare localizations of osteoid-osteoma and osteoblastoma may lead to a delay in making the correct diagnosis. Often, such patients are treated for long periods of time without much effect, which can lead to a deterioration in their quality of life.
A rare case of Ewing's sarcoma in a 4-year-old child treated by tumor endoprosthetics using 3D printing
Authors: Stavrev Vladimir , Stokov Luben , Ganev Petko , Georgiev Georgi
Published: November 2023

Orthopedic oncology surgery often requires, by its very nature, precise and often extensive resections of bone and soft tissue involved in or near the tumor mass.

One of the most recent and promising innovations is represented by 3D printing technology, whose main advantage in this field of application is patient specificity, which is essential in an operation that requires high precision and maximum respect for the individuality of his bones and soft tissues.

Material and methods: In the present report, we present a 4-year-old boy diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma involving ¾ of the right tibia. In another medical facility, he was offered amputation. Our team decided to use the "3D printed tumor megaendoprosthesis, double growing, from the Czech company Prospon. For reinsertion of the muscle groups to the endoprosthesis, we used a LARS textile tube that was attached to the femoral and tibial components of the endoprosthesis. A vascular surgeon also participated in the team. The patellar ligament was reinserted to the tibial component, and myoplasty was additionally performed with the medial head of the m. gastrocnemius. Intraoperatively, we lengthened the lower limb by 1.5 cm to delay the upcoming staged lengthening.

Results: The postoperative period was uneventful, with sutures removed on the 12th postoperative day. For 3 weeks, a tutor orthosis was placed. Active physiotherapy was started after removal of the orthosis 21 days after surgery.

Conclusion: Our goal is to perform a total revision at the end of skeletal growth if possible and replace the current implant with a non-growing tumor megaendoprosthesis in the absence of near or distant metastases and long-term patient survival.

Future expectations are that non-invasive lengthening mechanisms or a biological approach will be able to meet the special needs of this population.

Thermoelectric is a device that can convert heat energy into electrical energy. One thing that influences the quality and characteristics of a thermoelectric material is the size of the thermoelectric material. In this research, we will look at the effect of the size of the thermoelectric material which has been varied in thickness. The thermoelectric material itself is made from a composite of active carbon from kepok banana peel with CuO with a mass ratio of 3:7. The composite was then printed with varying mold thickness sizes and the results were that a mold with a thickness of 0.5 cm was the best mold with an electrical conductivity value of 0.2 MS/cm, a heat conductivity value of 0.0680394 J/s, a value the Seebeck coefficient is 1.13229 mV/oK. The band gap value of the activated carbon and CuO composite resulting from the DR-UV test is 1.27 eV

Objective: Thiazide diuretics are among the major anti-hypertensive medications. However, their hyperuricemic effect restricts their use in patients with gout. Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) initiation lowers serum uric acid (SUA) levels. It is not known whether existing SGLT-2i use affects the SUA increasing effect of thiazides.
Methods: Post-hoc data analysis of our published study was conducted. Hypertensive patients who were initiated on thiazide diuretics or whose dose escalated were included (thiazide exposure). Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were acquired via an electronic database. Patients were grouped according to SGLT-2i presence at the time of thiazide exposure. Since the number of SGLT-2i users was low, bootstrapping via simple random sampling was performed.
Results: 144 patients were included in the study, of whom 13 were on SGLT-2i. Initial sample analysis revealed that while baseline SUA levels were similar between groups, SUA change was significantly lower after thiazide exposure among patients receiving SGLT-2i (0.6 vs. 0.2, p = 0.039). Similarly, baseline SUA levels were similar, but SUA change after thiazide exposure was significantly lower among patients receiving SGLT-2 on bootstrapped data (0.13 [-0.25 - 0.57, 95%CI], vs. 0.61 [0.45 - 0.78, 95%CI], mean difference = 0.48, [0.04 - 0.91, 95%CI], p = 0.029).
Conclusion: This study revealed that thiazide diuretics may be a safe anti-hypertensive medication in terms of hyperuricemia among patients using SGLT-2i. Further studies with similar outcomes may result in the elimination of restrictive recommendations for the use of thiazides in patients with hyperuricemia or gout, provided patients are on SGLT-2i.

Authors: Khurram Sultan Langraw  , Adil Zaman
Published: November 2023

The widespread availability of misleading information in this age of instantaneous information dissemination through social media platforms has prompted significant worry about its possible impact on people's worldviews. The major purpose of this research is to assess the influence of false news on social media on people's opinions and worldviews. Using a combination of quantitative surveys and qualitative content analysis, this research examines the frequency with which people are exposed to fake news. And moreover, it investigates the cognitive processes underlying the approval or rejection of such news, as well as its subsequent impact on individuals' attitudes and beliefs. The findings demonstrate a multifaceted correlation between misinformation exposure and changes in attitudes and beliefs. Regular exposure to misinformation is statistically associated with a decline in trust in conventional media outlets, according to the findings of a quantitative study. Individuals and society are affected by the implications of these findings, which have far-reaching effects. The decline in trust in conventional media underscores the critical need for media literacy education, which equips individuals with the ability to evaluate the veracity of information critically. In addition, the research highlights the importance of users in appropriately sharing content and the value of social media platforms in limiting the spread of disinformation. The results add to our growing knowledge of the complex link between fake news and public opinion. This provides policymakers, journalists, and educators with useful knowledge for navigating the current media environment. By illuminating the interplay between information intake, belief formation, and the rise of digital communication, this study betters our capacity to comprehend the multifaceted effects of fake news on social media. This research has important implications for the design of effective measures to reduce the societal harm caused by deception.

Effects of high molecular weight n-(2-hydroxypropyl)-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride on the barrier integrity of Caco-2 monolayer
Authors:   , Wongwanakul Ratjika
Published: November 2023

Development of poorly soluble and unstable peptide drugs using drug delivery system has been introduced to improve drug bioavailability via oral administration.  Among the oral drug carriers interested in synthetic polymers, 600-HPTChC is the modified chitosan with quaternization process to improve solubility without any effect on the mucoadhesive property of core chitosan.  However, the biocompatibility of 600-HPTChC on human intestine and its mechanism on paracellular and transcellular transport remained to be unknown.  The purposes of this study were therefore to determine the effects of 600-HPTChC on intestinal cells in aspects of cell proliferation and cell differentiation and to examine the potential effects of 600-HPTChC on improvement of drug bioavailability through paracellular and transcellular pathway using Caco-2 cells as an in vitro intestinal model.   

The results demonstrated that lower degree of substitution of 600-HPTChC caused lower cytotoxic and anti-proliferative effect on Caco-2 cells comparing to the higher degree of substitution.  In addition, anti-proliferative effect of 600-HPTChC might be involved by cell cycle disturbance further causing differentiation delay of the Caco-2 cells after the continuous exposure for 9 days.  However, 4 h/day exposure over 9 days, more realistically mimics the daily intestinal exposure, could attenuate the effect of 600-HPTChC on intestinal differentiation.  In paracellular pathway, 600-HPTChC was much more efficient than chitosan in both aspects of opening rate and time recovery of tight junction protein.  The results also suggested that the mechanism behind the tight junction opening might result from the direct interaction between 600-HPTChC and tight junction protein rather than via intracellular signaling investigated.  In transcellular pathway, 600-HPTChC was able to increase the drug absorption by P-gp inhibition without any change in the expression level. Immunofluorescent images indicated that 600-HPTChC could directly bind to P-gp on plasma membrane.  Furthermore, the results of P-gp ATPase assay demonstrated that 600-HPTChC acts as the stimulator of P-gp ATPase that might relate to conformation change of P-gp epitope.  Overall data support the usefulness of 600-HPTChC as a drug carrier in development of the oral drug delivery system.

Authors: Delley Dr. Razzeko
Published: November 2023

Geography and environment play a vital role in shaping the motifs and themes of the Idu Mishmi funeral narratives. The description of places, mountains, cliffs, valleys, rivers and gorges etc. with different species of animals, plants and spirits form the allegorical representation of the elements of nature. In the subjective component of the Idu Mishmi death ritual, nature’s shape, formations and objects not only become the driving force but also become essential parts of the culture. As a whole, nature and nature’s formations become the necessary components that determine the thought process and spiritual sustenance of the community. This dimension explores the community's attitudes to the environment are conditioned by their traditional beliefs that have played a crucial role in the conservation of the environment and organisms in their region so far. This paper looks at the Idu Mishmi Community's approach to the Environment as manifested in the funeral rite Ya and attempts to understand how this aspect has been a driving force in the conservation of ecology.
THE USE OF DEFECTIVE VERBS IN ENGLISH ESSAYS BY THE STUDENTS OF LEVEL III OF ENGLISH DEPARTMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DOBA IN CHAD, ACADEMIC SESSION 2022-2023
Authors: Ngaidandi Ndikoua
Published: November 2023

This paper investigated the use of defective verbs. The data were collected by the means of written continuous assessment administered to one hundred and fifty EFL learners of English Department of the University of Doba. They were analyzed through Corder’s (1967) Error Analysis (EA) approach. The results of this study revealed that those students encountered a lot of difficulties in using defective verbs in their essays. Five types of errors have been identified. These include the insertion of complete infinitive after defective verbs, the adding of ‘-ed’ at the end of defective verbs, the use of preterit after defective verbs, the adding of ‘s’ at the end of defective verbs and the use of ‘do’ with defective verbs in negative form and interrogative form. The analysis indicated that 37.81% of error regarded the insertion of complete infinitive after defective verbs, 18.48% concerned the adding of ‘-ed’ at the end of defective verbs, 17.64% concerned the use of preterit after defective verbs, 15.96% concerned the adding of ‘s’ at the end of defective verbs and 10.08% regarded the use of ‘do’ with defective verbs. These errors are influenced by the phenomenon of overgeneralization of English grammatical rules on the one hand and the lack of mastery of the use of defective verbs on the other hand.
Research À La Carte: Why the United States Should Permit Unbundled Commissions Following MiFID II
Authors: Verzal Sarah M.
Published: November 2023

The United States and the European Union have fundamentally different laws governing how broker-dealers must charge investors for investment research. Brokers in the European Union must provide unbundled research to comply with the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II), and brokers in the United States must provide bundled research to avoid registration as a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA). These laws have been in conflict for many years, but a No-Action letter from the SEC has stayed any major conflict with MiFID II’s unbundled approach. Previous research has shown that MiFID II’s unbundled research payments are better for investors because they are more transparent, are more market efficient, and more effectively prevent fraud. With the expiration of the SEC’s No-Action letter in July 2023, this Comment utilizes this past evidence to argue that the SEC must adopt unbundled research payments to comply with the SEC’s statutorily mandated mission to protect investors, maintain efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation.
The Nuclear Option: Green Energy Goals in the European Energy Transition
Authors: Blecking Julian
Published: November 2023

After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and increasing pressure from the ongoing climate crisis, Europe stands at a Zeitenwende, or turning point, that requires European unity to achieve energy independence and ambitious climate goals. Emphasis on unity during the European energy transition has once again highlighted the stark differences in energy frameworks between France and Germany, especially concerning nuclear energy regulations. Both countries—and the wider European energy market—must recognize that nuclear energy is neither a scourge nor a silver bullet. By implementing both nuclear and other green energy regulations that account for national governing structures, create a tiered system for energy production prioritization, and foster diversified energy markets, nuclear energy laws can be an effective part of a wider European green energy framework.
