Interpretation of regulations on international cooperation in the field of criminal proceedings
Authors: Клевцов К.К.
Published: March 2023

В статье предпринята попытка дать общую характеристику толкования норм, регламентирующих международное сотрудничество в сфере уголовного судопроизводства, вследствие чего показаны некоторые особенности уяснения подлинного смысла положений международного и внутригосударственного права. В ходе подготовки работы в основном были использованы лингвистические методы (компонентный анализ лексических значений и анализ переводческих трансформаций). Автором доказано, что в ходе взаимодействия государств в уголовно-процессуальной сфере прежде всего стоит опираться на комплексный подход, заключающийся в сочетании буквального и функционального принципов. Продемонстрировано, что акцессорным элементом в этой деятельности является использование подготовительных материалов к договорам о международном сотрудничестве в сфере уголовного процесса.

The article attempts to give a general description of the interpretation of the norms governing international cooperation in the field of criminal justice, as a result of which some features of understanding the true meaning of the provisions of international and domestic law are shown. During the preparation of the work, linguistic methods were mainly used (component analysis of lexical meanings and analysis of translation transformations). The author proves that in the course of interaction between states in the criminal procedure sphere, first of all, it is worth relying on an integrated approach, which consists in a combination of literal and functional principles. It is demonstrated that an accessory element in this activity is the use of preparatory materials for agreements on international cooperation in the field of criminal procedure.
The Use of Sustainable Financial Instruments in Relation to the Social Impact Investment: ESG Policies, Capital Markets’ Approach and Investors’ Protection: An Innovative Perspective for a Global Surveillance Authority
Authors: Panagopoulos Athanasios G. , Tzionas Ioannis
Published: March 2023

Social Impact Investment (SII) refers to the provision of finance to organizations addressing social needs. It is intended to achieve both a social impact as well as garner financial returns. Thus, SII may be understood as a business case for what was previously considered mostly philanthropic activities. In the case of SRI (Sustainable and Responsible Investment), investors decide in which company to invest on the basis of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria. They consider a company's performance with respect to its effects on nature, its relationships with employees, clients and society, and the transparency of its governance. Where possible, companies should provide quantitative, comparable and forward-looking performance metrics to facilitate ESG integration. It is recommended that companies should use credible indicators which are included in internationally recognised reporting frameworks like GRI, SASB, IIRC, TCFD, CDP or UNGC. Companies should disclose their methodology and provide explanations to support quantitative indicators (ESG metrics), establishing the link between ESG and financial performance. The investor perspective is in important issue, which should be taken under consideration by European and local supervising authorities, under the provisions of the Market Abuse Directive and the MiFID, especially after the introduction and use of ESG and sustainable financial instruments, in both, Banking and Capital Markets. Therefore, SII can be a very useful tool for achieving EU Social Policy objectives. EU efforts (DG EMPL/FISMA) can be targeted at four specific aims that concern impact measurement: 1) promotion of the standardisation of impact measurement through the further development of the taxonomy regulations to include social objectives or the creation of standardised guidelines or the further development of ESG metrics; 2) capacity building in the area of impact measurement; 3) increasing the availability of the data needed; and 4) the promotion of additional and more specialized sustainable financial instruments linked to the Banking Sector and Capital Markets, which in turn will leverage more the total investment amount derived from the InvestEU tool and offer to all stakeholders more flexibility. Therefore, the global liquidity will be increased, and a strong economic turmoil could be avoided under the surveillance of a theoretically established Global Surveillance Authority. The use of sustainable financial instruments by a P.E.S. (social enterprise) under a public-private partnership (PPPs) is also feasible and socially rewarding.

Data were collected in a semi-structured interview with professors and focus groups with students, through a digital platform with previously scheduled times. The data were analyzed according to content analysis. The study was approved by a research ethics committee.Results: The findings were organized in the four dimensions that make up the World Health Organization's model of healthy work environments: the physical, psychosocial environment, resources for personal health and the institution's involvement in the community.Conclusions: Perceptions about healthy work environments are closely related to the conditions and requirements imposed to perform the work. Healthy work environments are the result of the infrastructure of institutions, work management and characteristics specially implicated in the teaching-learning process.
Vertebral Augmentation in Spine Surgery
Authors: Hoffmann Jacob , Preston Gordon , Whaley James , Khalil Jad G.
Published: March 2023

Vertebral augmentation has been a well-studied adjunct percutaneous procedure in spine surgery. Cement augmentation has been used in the treatment of compression fractures through kyphoplasties or vertebroplasties. Historically, data have shown no difference between treating compression fractures conservatively versus with percutaneous cement augmentation procedures. Recent literature has shown improvement in patient outcomes and increase in mobility with percutaneous cement augmentation procedures. Cement augmentation has been used in treating patients with spinal column fractures in higher energy trauma. Cement augmentation has shown to have a reduction in local kyphosis, improved pain, and significant height restoration of the anterior column in patients with burst fractures. Augmentation has been used in spinal deformity surgery, specifically to attempt to reduce the risk of proximal junctional kyphosis and to decrease the risk of screw pullout with cement augmented fenestrated screws in patients with osteoporosis. In pathologic compression fractures, cement augmentation is a safe, viable intervention to improve pain control in these patients. This review will go into the new advances of vertebral augmentation and indications for use in treatment today.

Authors: Mohammed Utono Iliyasu , Kaka Aliyu Kabiru , Cork Alan Cork
Published: March 2023

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of pheromone trap modification on the catch of male Plodia Interpunctella. Laboratory experiments were conducted comparing pairs of different trap designs, each having different modifications, to determine the effect on moths catches Moths catch of standard funnel trap compared with a sticky delta trap was not significantly different (p>0.05). Delta trap modified with windows cut (12cm long x 7cm height) on the sides panel of trap proved to significantly caught more moths than the funnel trap (p<0.05). Changing a lure position within the modified delta trap from a suspended position to one directly on the sticky surface significantly increased moth catches (p<0.05). When the same two lure positions were compared in terms of the time elapsed between moths entering and eventually being trapped, it was found that trap with lure on the sticky surface caught moths more quickly than the other lure position (p<0.05). In the comparison of three traps heights, a modified delta trap placed on the cage floor proved to significantly catch more moths than the other two traps height. The results presented here recommended modified delta trap for use in the field.
Towards an International Regime for Space Traffic Management
Authors: Zhao Yun , Masson-Zwaan Tanja
Published: March 2023

With the rapid development of space technologies, space activities will continue to thrive in the process of space commercialization and privatization. However, it is obvious that existing space law rules are inadequate to meet the needs of the latest developments. Space traffic management, in particular, is an area of increased public interest. Measures on Space Traffic Management (STM) cannot be effective if approached in a disparate manner through national or regional silos. It is necessary to look into a possible legal framework for regulating space traffic and improving global space situational awareness to further aerospace development and ensure that space technologies can serve and enhance human well-being at a wider, deeper, and higher level.

Rebates after the General Court’s 2022 Intel judgment
Authors: Monti Giorgio
Published: March 2023

Twenty-two years after the first complaint against Intel’s distribution strategy was received by the European Commission, the saga continues. In January 2022, the General Court annulled the Commission’s infringement decision because it had not shown that Intel’s practices foreclosed market access, but this ruling has been appealed against by the Commission. This paper reviews the General Court’s 2022 judgment, explaining the introduction of a new approach to analysing rebates, its operationalization, and what this new approach means for the application of Article 102 TFEU to the conduct of dominant undertakings.

The Rise of Populism and Its Impact on Labour Law, Social Law and Social Policy
Authors: Grzebyk Piotr
Published: March 2023

This special edition of the International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations contains five articles, including this introduction. Their shared purpose is to explore the interrelationship between populism, labour law, social law and social policy. In particular, the articles investigate whether the recent rise in populism has had a direct impact, positive or negative, on the situation of the working class. The nexus of populism, labour law, social law and social policy will be examined in three perspectives, focusing on (1) the period when populists seek power, (2) the period when populists are in power, and (3) the consequences of populist rule.

The specific research questions underpinning the articles in this issue are as follows. First, when may a politician or a leader be considered a populist? Second, once in power, do populists actually strive to address issues affecting ‘the people’, i.e., those who have suffered harm at the hands of the elites, and does that include issues that affect the working class? Third, if so, how are these issues addressed? Fourth, what indicators can be used to demonstrate a link between the populist reforms (changes) and populist slogans? In other words, is there a ‘populist agenda’ as far as social issues are concerned? Fifth, are populists effective at implementing their slogans on social issues? Sixth, do populist agendas and actions create (and later implement) a new conceptual model of social and economic relations that could serve as an alternative to the current liberal market economy model?

Article: The Distorting Effects of Imputation Systems on Tax Competition in the EU
Authors: Spengel Christoph , Fischer Leonie , M. Müller Jessica
Published: March 2023

The design of corporate income tax systems and thus the taxation of (cross-border) dividends are encompassed within the sovereignty of the Member States of the European Union (EU). However, these rules are restricted by the EU regulatory framework and the case law of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) which prohibit discrimination of foreign- against domestic-sourced dividends. Therefore, five EU Member States abolished their discriminatory imputation systems in favour of shareholder relief systems between 1999 and 2019 which had not only legal but also economic implications. In this simulation study, the authors assess how and to what extent the abolishment of discriminatory imputation systems in the EU Member States affected a country’s tax location attractiveness for capital investments and tax competition. The analysis is based on the cost of capital (CoC) and effective average tax rates (EATR) using the Devereux/Griffith methodology. Overall, under the discriminatory imputation systems, the authors find lower CoC and EATR for investments located in the shareholder’s residence country compared to foreign investment alternatives. The advantageousness is, on average, reversed after the switch to the shareholder relief systems and places additional tax competition pressure on the affected Member States.

Published: March 2023

Stock market performance can be influenced by stock prices in either a positive ornegative way because it is a very unpredictable area. The public's opinions and feelings may be affected differently by various occurrences, which could impact the direction in which stock price fluctuates. To increase predictability of stock market indicators, this study examines the potential usage of sentiment data from Twitter users. In this study, relationship between public perceptions about acompany stated in tweets and changes in stock prices are investigated. The resultsof the study demonstrates strong association between changes in stock prices and the opinionsshared by the general public in tweets. In this study, a system is createdthat collects tweets, analyses and assesses if tweets has positive or negativesentiment using a model called Random Forest Classifier. The output for the algorithm is then checked with the actual change in stock price the next day to ascertain the prediction's error. The goal of this research is to forecast future market behavior by performing sentiment analysis on a sample of tweets from the past fewdays. The results suggest that Random Forest model is suitable for stock price prediction along with sentimental analysis it generates the accuracy of 84.86% which is accessed by with three widely used measures for the regressor— Mean Squared Error , Root Mean Square Error , Mean Absolute Error and along with sentimental analysis by generating classification report.

Published: March 2023

Slum redevelopment is a difficult and complex process that needs a multidisciplinary approach involving government organizations, non-governmental organizations, the corporate sector, and the community. Governments have increasingly invited private financiers and investors to take care of public provisions, making public-private partnerships (PPPs) the new perspective for the development of the public sector. Slum reconstruction efforts are being carried out successfully and effectively through the Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY), Slum Networking Programme (SNP), and Slum Improvement Programme (SIP). There are numerous PPP types and delivery models, but unclear policies and regulations, a lack of funding, the complexity of the project structure, problems with resettlement and relocation, difficulties with land acquisition, problems with technical and design aspects, and corruption all cause delays in the implementation of PPP models for slum redevelopment. For slum redevelopment efforts to succeed, overcoming these delay reasons is imperative. Keywords: PPP (Public Private Partnership), Public Housing, Slum, Redevelopment.

Social media sites like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, and Telegram have captured people's attention all around the world by disseminating false information and offering a convenient, affordable, and easy way to exchange information. In order to get personal or financial advantage from society, fake news is frequently produced in order to fool the general audience. So, several types of studies are conducted to detect false news with high accuracy in order to prevent it in order to lessen the harmful effects. We present a full evaluation of this false news detection technique during this research because of its disastrous effect, which is driven by the aforementioned problems. Also, the implementation of improvisation and the limitations of such approaches are discussed. Existing methods - K-Means, CNN, Naives Bayes, etc. Here we have attempted to provide a more accurate classification using Bidirectional LSTM. This model marches toward the path of early detection to flag the propagators before propagation. Keywords: Twitter, False news detection, Bidirectional LSTM.

Authors:   1Department of Statistics, University of Kalyani, West Bengal, India, Singha Roy Sudakshina
Published: March 2023

To distinguish between different cheese varieties, a total of 24 commercial cheeses were examined using three distinct methods to assess both general and thermophysical parameters. Rheological properties of different temperatures, stretch ability, melt ability and the formation of free oil were already present in the data. Box plots helped classifying textures of different cheese types on the basis of the general and thermophysical properties. Cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling helped classify the cheese types based on a variety of properties. Principal component analysis was applied, too, to the data set to receive a mapping of the cheese. A reduction of the analyzed parameters to three principal components accounting for 76.3% of the total variation was achieved, indicating that the methods are well suited to characterize the cheese samples. Mapping aids cheese producers to design new products with defined characteristics by affecting the manufacturing protocol. Also it helps cheese dealers to decide whether to buy a new variety of cheese produced in the market. Key Words: Multivariate data, Andrew’s curves, cluster analysis, mantel test, multidimensional scaling, principal component analysis, general properties, thermophysical properties of cheese, R programming.

Authors: Brockmann Kolja , Héau Lauriane
Published: March 2023

NewSpace is changing the nature of the space industry, exacerbating missile proliferation risks and posing challenges for the effective implementation of export controls. NewSpace companies develop, test, produce, use and market missile-related emerging and dual-use technologies, including small and micro launchers. One of the measures states can take is to address these developments is to step up targeted outreach to NewSpace actors, raising awareness of such risks to strengthen compliance with export controls and foreign direct investment (FDI) screening mechanisms. Key elements of an effective outreach strategy for the NewSpace sector include tailored use of established outreach tools, mapping stakeholders, incentivizing participation in outreach activities, consistently engaging with launch vehicle manufacturers, inter-agency cooperation, and raising awareness of FDI-related risks. The Missile Technology Control Regime, the Hague Code of Conduct and the Wiesbaden Process provide multilateral forums through which states can begin sharing experiences and develop good practices for outreach to the NewSpace industry.

Wat is vergelding ons waard?

Het opleggen van gevangenisstraffen kent nadelen, zeker als deze sanctie wordt vergeleken met niet-vrijheidsbenemende sancties als de taakstraf. Vergelding lijkt een aannemelijke reden om voor een gevangenisstraf te kiezen. Blijft die reden in stand als duidelijk is wat de werkelijke prijs is van vergelding? In dit artikel wordt een poging gedaan die prijs vast te stellen aan de hand van effecten en kosten van gevangenisstraffen in vergelijking met niet-vrijheidsbenemende sancties. Blijft, met de kennis van die prijs, vergelding voldoende argument om te kiezen voor gevangenisstraf?

KARELIAN IDIOMS ACCORDING TO LEXICOSTATISTICAL
DATA
Authors: Novak Irina
Published: March 2023

The “language or dialect” problem has remained topical for the Karelian
language for a century and a half now. Finnic language specialists from Russia and
Finland have not managed to hammer out a common opinion regarding Ludic subdialects: whether they belong to Karelian or form a language of their own. Lately,
the long-standing concept of Karelian Proper and Livvi sub-dialects as belonging
to the same language has also been questioned. An unresolved issue is the dialectal
division of the Karelian language. Seeking to fi nd the lexical criteria for determining
the linguistic status of certain Karelian varieties (idioms) in this study, we applied
the lexicostatistical approach. Th e percentages of matches between idioms were
calculated using Swadesh basic vocabulary (100-word) list. Data on 30 Karelian and
Veps sub-dialects were selected from the “Comparative Onomasiology Dictionary
of Karelian, Veps, and Sami Dialects” (2007). Based on the threshold match
percentages for discrimination between languages (91–90 %), all the idioms fell into
two groups: the Karelian and the Veps languages. Mikhailovskoe Village sub-dialect
occupies a transitional position between them. Th e results demonstrate a relatively
identical composition of the basic vocabulary of Karelian Proper, including Tver, as
well as of Livvi and Ludic sub-dialects. Within the Karelian language, sub-dialects
formed three large groups: 1) Karelian-Proper sub-dialects of Northern Karelia; 2)
Karelian-Proper sub-dialects of Central Russia; 3) Karelian-Proper sub-dialects of
Middle Karelia together with Livvi and Ludic sub-dialects. The results of the study
are going to be used in working on the dialectal classification of the Karelian language,

Chilika buffaloes, recognized as a breed since 2009 vide accession no. India_Buffalo_1500-Chilika_01012, are found in and around Chilika lake of Odisha. These buffaloes are reared under purely extensive system with no feed and medicine supplementation. The present study was undertaken to know the feeding pattern, metabolic status and milk composition of Chilika buffaloes in their natural habitat as very few literature is available about these buffaloes which are reared with zero external input system. The major portion of their feed is composed of different brackishwater weeds growing in and around the lake and grasses growing in the shallow water beds. The study was undertaken taking 60 buffaloes in their first to fourth lactation from 3 villages. The proximate composition of weeds and grasses were comparable with a good quality fodder but having higher acid insoluble ash. From the serum metabolic status it was seen that the protein level was adequate in the animals but the glucose level below normal range. These buffaloes have optimum serum level of major and minor minerals except Na, K and Fe, which is higher than the normal values. The milk fat content was higher than other buffaloes. It was found that among the PUFA the ratio of n3 to n6 was quite good which was higher than cattle and comparable with the fish. Further research is required to explore the availability of the biomass and exploit the potentiality of these buffaloes for the rich n:3 fatty acid content in the milk to be utilized by the today's health conscious society.

The association between the ovine calpastatin gene (CAST) genotypes, growth performance and meat characteristics of Awassi sheep was investigated. Homozygous (MM) and heterozygous (MN) genotypes of the CAST were obtained by RFLP, using Awassi ram lambs (age=7 to 14 days n= 80).A fattening trial was conductedusing 10 ram lambs MspI - of CAST genotypes (5 lambs from each genotype) (homozygous (MM) and heterozygous (MN). Lambs were weighed at the beginning of the experiment and the subsequent weights were measured biweekly before the morning feeding throughout the duration of the experiment. At the end of the fattening period, all lambs were slaughtered to evaluate carcass characteristics and meat quality. The results showed a significant association between CAST genotypes and growth rate and final body weight showing that lambs of the MN genotype had a higher average daily gain and final body weight compared to lambs of the MM genotype. The CAST gene genotypes showed a significant effect on some carcass components and meat quality parameters indicating that MN genotype showed lower total bone and higher meat to bone ratio than the MM genotype in the dissected leg cut. Furthermore, the MN genotype had a higher longissimus muscle weight compared to MM animals. Meat quality analysis showed that MN genotype lambs had higher shear force, lower cooking loss and lightness. It can be concluded that the CAST gene can be considered as one of the genes that control growth performance and meat quality traits.

Study investigated infection of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) in paired tissues viz. ileum and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) from 74 goats using histopathology, acid fast staining of tissue sections, fluorescent antibody test (FAT), IS900 tissue PCR and culture. Histopathology of H&E stained tissue sections revealed variable grades of lesions of Johne's disease (JD) in 37 (50.0%) ileae and 21 (28.4%) MLN. In AFB staining, 16 (21.6%) intestine and 10 (13.5%) MLN revealed presence of acid fast bacilli indistinguishable to MAP. Thirteen (17.5%) intestine and 9 (12.1%) MLN were positive in FAT. Eleven (14.8%) intestine and 7 (9.4%) MLN were positive by IS900 tissue PCR, whereas 7 (9.5%) intestine and 8 (10.8%) MLN were positive in culture. The study showed that sensitivity of histopathology (H&E staining) was highest as compared to other routine tests for the diagnosis of MAP infection in tissues of goats died (irrespective of cause of deaths) during study period from goat herds endemic for Johne's disease. Lower sensitivity of FAT than histology was due to the strong cell mediated immunity exhibited by MAP. Though difference was not significant between sensitivities of FAT and PCR, FAT and AFB staining, and agreement was very good; however, results of the study suggested, that FAT may be a useful test to improve the diagnostic efficacy of caprine Johne's disease and more effective in the detection of grade I lesions as compared to culture and PCR. Study also showed that it was essential to collect both tissues (intestines and MLNs) for the diagnosis of MAP infection at necropsy.
