Problems of Execution of Intermediary Contracts in Parallel Imports and when the Intermediary Acts Outside the Russian Federation
Authors: Vyazovskaya Tatyana N. , Lebedeva Alla A.
Published: November 2024

In connection with the introduction of restrictive economic sanctions imposed by foreign states on Russia due to Russia's participation in the Special Military Operation, as well as with the mass withdrawal of foreign manufacturers of goods from the Russian market and the blocking of the SWIFT system, the economic and legal role of contracts that formalize the purchase of goods from foreign manufacturers has increased significantly. The purpose of the study is a comprehensive analysis of the problems of legal regulation that arise when executing intermediary contracts in parallel imports and when intermediaries act outside the Russian Federation. Materials and methods. To achieve the goal of the study, the authors use general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, deduction, method of system analysis) and private law methods (technical-legal, formal-legal). The material for the research is the norms of the current Russian legislation regulating intermediary contracts and their execution in parallel imports, the works of civil law scientists, law enforcement and judicial practice. Results of the study. The paper identifies that intermediary contracts and intermediary activities are not defined in the modern civil law. The analysis of the subject of intermediary contracts made it possible to identify the commonality of their legal structure and to give recommendations on the choice of one of the contract constructions in a particular situation. The analysis of the practice of legalization of parallel imports in Russian legislation, law enforcement and judicial practice is carried out. The change in the legal approach to the situation of parallel import is shown on the example of the utilization fee, maritime intermediary and maritime agency agreements. This has made it possible to classify intermediaries that facilitate international trade. Conclusions. The comprehensive analysis of the problems of execution of intermediary contracts in parallel imports and the legal regulation of the actions of intermediaries facilitating international trade on the basis of the study of regulatory legal acts, law enforcement and judicial practice, allowed the authors to identify the following problems of legal regulation of this legal institution: the lack of a legal definition of the term "intermediary contracts", the lack of the qualification of mixed and atypical contracts that draw up mediation, as well as the lack of contractual structures that actually replace the intermediary contracts named by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The legal mechanism of parallel imports and settlements with parallel import operations has not yet been legislated, which necessitates the continuation of scientific research on this problem.
ON THE ISSUE OF ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR OF THE CHUVASH PEASANTS OF THE VOLGA VILLAGE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE XIX – EARLY XX CENTURY
Authors: Nikolaev Gennady A.
Published: November 2024

Until 1917, part of the contemporaries attributed antisocial behavior in the family and marriage sphere to the non-Russian Volga peoples. An uncritical use of such information by some modern researchers casts a shadow on the historical past of ethnic communities. The relevance of the topic under consideration is due to the need for objective covering the daily life of multinational Volga agrarian societies.

The purpose of the study is to show the real image of relationship in young people before marriage and the behavior of spouses in family life in a Chuvash village.

Materials and methods. The sources of the research were ethnographic notes, testimonies, memoirs and letters from contemporaries. The plots chosen for the analysis are studied by the author on the basis of applying systematic, historical-comparative and historical-anthropological approaches and taking into account the farmers perception of realities in the aspect of “friend-or-foe”.

Research results. The article examines in detail a case related to an uncritical use by a modern researcher of subjective information contained in some historical sources about the sexual promiscuity of the Chuvash of the Volga village in the era of capitalist modernization. It provides convincing documentary material refuting such analytical constructions of the Orthodox cult servants and individual guardians of morality. Such false constructions are shown to be based on unlawful application by the zealots of Christianity of the norms of morality and morality of the monotheistic tradition to assess the realities of everyday reality of polytheists and “dualists”. In the second half of the XIX – early XX century, antisocial behavior of Chuvash peasants in the family and marriage sphere was noted to be a rare phenomenon, although it tended to increase somewhat. Based on the evidence attracted by the author, the attitude of rural societies towards libertines appears to be harsh and intolerant. The statement about the connection of antisocial behavior of young men and girls before marriage with the traditional beliefs of the ethnic group is refuted. Edifications left to young people and married couples from the ethnic group worldview attitude are characterized as deeply moral.

Conclusions. In the era of capitalist modernization, young people and married couples in the Chuvash village, with rare exceptions, were guided by the principles of morality and integrity in their behavior in the family and marriage sphere.
Academic Stress and Aggression. The Moderating Role of Social Support
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Bratu Irina
Published: November 2024

This study aimed to extend the results from the literature and investigate the moderating role of social support in the relationship between students’ academic stress and aggressive behavior. The participants were 149 students, the majority being female (83%), ranging in age from 18 to 47 years. The instruments used were The Academic Stress Questionnaire, The Aggression Questionnaire, and The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Regression analyses indicate that academic stress partially predicts student aggression. More specifically, academic stress determined by personal factors is significantly and positively associated with only two dimensions of aggression, namely anger and hostility, and academic stress related to other people is significantly and positively associated exclusively with hostility. Also, social support does not significantly moderate the relationship between academic stress and aggression. The explanations regarding this inconsistency with the results of previous research cover various aspects such as: the influence of the culture and socio-economic status of the participants' country of origin, the impact of the predominantly Orthodox religion, accommodation with an online learning model as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the autonomous choice of higher education studies, the educational specialization in the distinct field of social sciences, but also the high percentage of responses from women, most of whom are in the final year of their undegraduate studies.

The lack of breaststroke swimming ability among athletes has led to a decline in breaststroke swimming performance in the Solok city swimming association. This problem is thought to be related to the low endurance of leg and arm muscles to the swimming speed of 200 meters breaststroke. This correlational study aims to reveal the contribution of leg muscle endurance, arm muscles, and the joint contribution of both to swimming speed 200 meters breaststroke in athletes coaching achievements in the Solok city swimming association. This study involved 25 swimming athletes in Solok city, with total sampling technique. Data on leg muscle strength endurance was measured through the squat jump test, arm muscle strength endurance through the push up test, and swimming speed through the 200 meter breaststroke swimming test. Data were analyzed using simple and multiple correlations with a significant level of α = 0.05, and the contribution was calculated by the formula r² x 100%. The results of data analysis showed that leg muscle strength endurance contributed 74.65%, while arm muscle strength endurance contributed 70.06%. The combination of both contributed 74.99% to the ability of 200 meters breaststroke swimming speed of athletes coaching achievements in swimming associations in Solok city.

Clorfenapir: avaliações ecotoxicológicas e morfofisiológicas na praga Tuta absoluta e na abelha polinizadora Partamona helleri
Authors:   , Salgado Filipe Schitini
Published: November 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a viabilidade do uso do inseticida clofernapir para o combate da praga Tuta absoluta, maior praga do tomateiro (Solanum lycopersicum) levando em consideração os efeitos ecotoxicológicos, letais, histológicos, comportamentais e fisiológicos não só na praga, mas também na abelha sem ferrão Partamona helleri, polinizador de espécies nativas e agrícolas e também de importância econômica para meliponicultores. Nossos resultados verificaram a toxicidade de clorfenapir tanto para a praga, quanto para a abelha, através de ensaios de concentração mortalidade, danos no epitélio do intestino médio, característicos de intoxicação grave por xenobióticos como vacuolização, dilatação celular, presença de fragmentos celulares, extrusão de material celular e perda de ninhos de células regenerativas. A histoquímica revelou desestruturação celular e perdas de reservas energéticas para a praga, mas não para a abelha. O bioensaio comportamental apontou estresse e agitação na abelha e os dados de respirometria verificaram que abelhas expostas ao pesticida apresentaram atividade respiratória diminuída, resultado esperado devido ao mecanismo de ação do pesticida, que atua como interruptor da cadeia transportadora de elétrons no processo de respiração celular. Devido aos graves danos encontrados no polinizador, e a grande persistência ambiental do inseticida, é necessário que seja reavaliada a utilização deste pesticida para controle da praga, mesmo sendo ele um dos poucos que tem se mostrado eficiente no seu controle. Palavras chave: Abelhas sem ferrão. Ecotoxicologia. Efeitos subletais. Inseticida. Traça do tomateiro.

Authors: Doğan Özcan Çiğdem
Published: November 2024

Marlene Dumas (d. 1953) Hollanda’da yaşayan Güney Afrikalı bir sanatçıdır. Çocukluğunun geçtiği Güney Afrika’da siyahilere yapılan ayrımcı tutum Dumas’ın sanatını etkilemiştir. Sanatçı, tema olarak seçtiği kimlik, ırk, cinsiyet ve toplumsal önyargılar gibi konuları yapıtlarında dile getirmiştir. Özellikle ilk yaptığı grup çalışması olan “Black Drawings” serisi, Batı medyasında sıklıkla görülen siyah kimlik üzerindeki stereotipleri ele alarak ön yargıların oluşturduğu güç ilişkilerini sorgular. Siyah rengin içindeki ton farklılıklarını göstererek asıl dikkat edilmesi gerekenin gri alanlar olduğunu ifade eder. Ayrımcılığın hem toplumsal hem de bireysel olarak nasıl işlendiğine dair güçlü bir bakış açısı sunar. 1948 tarihinde yürürlüğe giren Apartheid rejimi, Güney Afrika’yı istilâ eden beyaz Batı Avrupalı kolonistlerin oradaki yerli siyahîlere uyguladıkları ayırımcılığın adıdır. 17. yüzyılda Güney Afrika’da kolonileşen Batılılar, siyahiler üzerine ciddi baskılar kurmuşlardır. Bu rejim, sosyal, ekonomik ve siyasi hakları elinden alınan siyahi halkı mülksüzleştirerek köleleştirmiştir. Bu yaşananlara bizzat tanık olan sanatçı, sanat yaşamı boyunca her türlü ayrımcılığa karşı çıkmış ve bu duruşunu eserlerine yansıtmıştır. Bu özelliğiyle çağdaş sanat alanında tanınan sanatçı, ayrımcılık karşıtı tavrını yalnızca resimlerinde değil, farklı sanat alanlarında da sürdürmektedir.

Theatrics of Sibling Bond in Jean Genet’s The Maids
Authors: Joseph Kavya , Dwivedi Laxmi Dhar
Published: November 2024

Are we all ‘homo sacers’ entrapped in a social labyrinth? This article discusses the crisis of individuals whose agency is threatened by dominant social forces, by focusing on the intricacies of sibling bond (sibship) between the protagonists in the 1947 play, The Maids (Les Bonnes), by the French dramatist Jean Genet. It attempts to examine a) shared trauma, birth order, confused identities, gender dynamics, lingering thoughts of revenge on society, and sibling rivalry, conflicted or toxic attachment, deeply rooted in aversion as well as protective mentality towards each other, as per Victor G. Cicirelli’s perceptions; b) the inculcation of mores, norms and social roles based on the theoretical views of ‘sociology of morality’ and the characters’ ‘habitus’ (sociology) c) and their reactions towards dominant forces (through the lens of standpoint epistemology in social theory) by enacting their agency and d) how they become “outsiders within” (standpoint theory) like a “homo sacer” who are disposable (discard theory) in the eyes of society. In addition, the study upholds the need to discuss similar struggles of individuals and inspire further creative studies on sibling bond that might broaden the spectrum of knowledge, particularly through literary research, by building the gap between literature and critical points of view.
Climate Responsive Strategies in Vernacular Architecture: A Comparative Analysis at Various Latitude
Authors: D'amato Laura Estrada , Kapoor Sunanda
Published: November 2024

Climatic responsive strategies represent a systematic approach that meticulously considers climatic and environmental parameters during the architectural design phase, aiming to achieve optimal thermal comfort while minimizing energy consumption. Across the globe, millenary cultures and civilizations have learned to read their local climate to adapt their constructions to the natural habitat, using available resources in the immediate environment, developing unique vernacular architectures in each corner of the world. The current study highlights the pivotal role of climate responsive strategies in the design of vernacular architecture across diverse latitudinal contexts, identifying techniques and methods that can help us today to build more comfortable spaces using local resources, less energy demand, and decreasing the overall carbon footprint of the constructions. This approach leads to sustainable architecture and can be a great tool to rescue local traditions and cultural heritage as a relevant technology on a globalized world. This study reveals a spectrum of passive strategies actively explored and implemented within the realm of vernacular architecture in four distinct cultural and environmental contexts, such as India, Colombia, Sweden, and South Africa. The climatic responsive strategies of vernacular buildings at these locations have been analysed with the help of case study and Mahoney table. The research findings affirm that climate responsive architecture, through the judicious application of passive measures, presents itself as an efficacious strategy to overcome unfavourable climatic conditions.
Homomorphic DNA Security in IoT Edge Data
Authors: Lakshmanan S  , Kokilavani T  , Charles P Joseph
Published: November 2024

The Internet of Things (IoT) based intelligent medical system possesses sensitive and private patient data. Most data relates to the patient's medical records and highly sensitive information. For this reason, safety and confidentiality of information are crucial. The preservation of patient privacy when sharing medical data is the primary concern of this study. Due to their excellent performance, biological notations based on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are becoming increasingly admired for guaranteeing encryption and image protection. This paper proposes lightweight homomorphic with DNA-based medical image encryption (HDNA_MIE) for heterogeneous IoT in edge computing. The proposed approach contains two steps: In the first step, the secure DNA keys are generated using lightweight operations such as shifting and Josephus ring-based permutation (JRP). In the second step, the lightweight homomorphic cryptographic algorithm with DNA sequence-based encryption algorithm is suggested for secure encryption. The suggested strategy is evaluated using computational time and statistical analysis with several measures to determine its efficacy. The experimental findings of the proposed strategy exhibited a high level of security and a noticeable enhancement in the Number of Pixels Change Rate (NPCR), Unified Average Changing Intensity (UACI) and encryption processing time. The experiment outcomes demonstrate that our technique may be applied to highly confidential image encryption.

Published: November 2024

Electrifying the US transportation system is essential to rapidly decarbonizing the economy and reducing the public health costs from tailpipe emissions. Electric vehicles (EVs) powered by lithium-ion batteries have become the most preferred alternative to gasoline vehicles. We can create a more resilient, just, and sustainable EV supply chain and energy future by minimizing mineral needs to electrify and eventually relying mostly on recycled materials. This research quantifies the potential to minimize mineral demand for light-duty transportation while electrifying using several strategies, including battery recycling, improved vehicle efficiency, right-sizing vehicle range, technological innovation, and increasing mobility options. The results demonstrate that with smart policies, investments, and industry leadership, we can reduce newly mined lithium needs by nearly half (48%) from 2025 to 2050. This amounts to 1.5 million tons, equivalent to 180 million typically-sized EV batteries.

Published: November 2024

Eleştirel düşünme, bireyin kendi düşünce sürecinin bilincinde olması ve çevresinde meydana gelen olayları yorumlayabilmesini sağlayan zihinsel süreçtir. Teknolojik dönüşümler ve bilgi çeşitliliğinin arttığı günümüzde kılavuz olarak benimsenmektedir. Özellikle teknoloji, bilgi ve medya konularında teorik ve pratik eğitim sunan iletişim fakültelerinin bu noktada nasıl bir rol üstlendiği merak uyandırmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, yürütülen araştırma iletişim fakültesi öğrencilerinin eleştirel düşünme düzeylerini ölçmeyi ve bu düzeylerin hangi faktörler tarafından etkilendiğini anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bunun için ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli Üniversitesi, Ankara Üniversitesi ve Kastamonu Üniversitesinin İletişim Fakültesi öğrencileri arasından üniversite ve bölüm değişkenine göre tabakalı örnekleme yöntemine göre belirlenen 391 öğrenci araştırmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Eleştirel düşünmenin bilişsel bilgi ve duyuşsal beceri boyutlarına göre iki faktörlü, elli bir maddelik ölçek tasarlanmış ve yirmi beş hipotez test edilmiştir. Buna göre örneklemin eleştirel düşünme bilişsel bilgi ve duyuşsal beceri boyutunun yüksek ve bu boyutlar arasındaki ilişkinin anlamlı olduğu görülmüştür. Ancak eleştirel düşünme cinsiyet, sosyoekonomik düzey ve medya kullanım süresi faktörlerinden etkilememiştir. Yaş, sınıf düzeyi ve ailenin eğitim düzeyinin yükselmesi ile bilişsel bilgi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki görülmüştür. Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli Üniversitesi ve Radyo Televizyon ve Sinema bölümünün bilişsel bilgide, Ankara Üniversitesi ve Gazetecilik bölümünün ise duyuşsal beceride en yüksek düzeye sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Bu sonuç okul kültürü, okul iklimi ve akademik başarı ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Kullanılan sosyal medya platformları ile eleştirel düşünme ilişkisi incelendiğinde ise Twitter’ın (X) hem bilişsel hem de duyuşsal boyutta, Instagram’ın duyuşsal boyutta ve YouTube’un ise sadece bilişsel boyutta anlamlı bir farklılık yarattığı görülmektedir. Sonuç olarak iletişim fakültelerinin, öğrencilerin eleştirel düşünme düzeylerine olumlu bir katkı sağladığı söylenebilir.

Authors: González Fernández Inmaculada , Alcolea López Justo Miguel
Published: November 2024

Introducción. El melasma se presenta en forma de pigmentación difusa de color marrón en la frente, pómulos, mejillas y labio superior. Es más frecuente en mujeres adultas, asociado a la toma de anticonceptivos o al embarazo, y empeora con el sol. El daño actínico que sufren los melanocitos es similar que se produce en el fotoenvejecimiento. El tratamiento básico del melasma combina activos despigmentantes y fotoprotectores. Su eficacia es mayor cuando se añade el ácido tranexámico (ATX). A su vez el microneedling favorece la penetración del ATX, potenciando su efecto. Otros posibles tratamientos son las fuentes de luz y los láseres. El objetivo del presente trabajo es revisar el arsenal terapéutico actual disponible contra el melasma, con especial hincapié en el empleo del ATX, asociado a microneedling, IPL o láseres. Casos clínicos. Se presentan una serie de casos clínicos, indicando el protocolo de tratamiento seguido en cada uno de ellos, que tienen en común el empleo de formulaciones despigmentantes y la fotoprotección de amplio espectro, junto con el ATX por vía oral. Resultados. En todos los casos tratados se ha obtenido una mejoría evidente del melasma, con una notable disminución de las áreas pigmentadas, así como de la textura y la calidad de la piel, con reducción del índice mMASI superior al 65%. Los pacientes han mostrado un grado de satisfacción muy alto con los tratamientos realizados. Conclusiones. El ATX es útil tanto por vía oral como tópica. El microneedling potencia la acción del ATX, como también sucede cuando se emplean fuentes de luz o láseres. El melasma suele recidivar, por lo que es importante vigilar el cumplimiento del tratamiento domiciliario y establecer una estrecha relación médico-paciente.

Gesture recognition has been a popular research field under the trend of IoT and intelligent devices. Air-writing is the most challenging and crucial topic in the gesture recognition field. In this paper, we propose a wearable airwriting system that makes users can write the English alphabet in the three-dimensional space without any write rules. The proposed system is based on the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and it uses dynamic time warping (DTW) as the main recognition algorithm. In addition, to improve the recognition accuracy and take a better advantage of the DTW algorithm, we present an adjustment system that gives some new optimization methods to the application of IMU and DTW. In the experiment, the accuracy of recognition is 84.6% for the uppercase alphabet (from „A‟ to „Z‟) in user-dependent case. And we also confirmed that the recognition method only based on the DTW algorithm is one kind of user-dependent methods, which means this method is heavily dependent on personalization.

Heavy metals are completely redundant in the human body and the ingestion of the metals poses a risk of adverse health effects. The study aimed to assess the heavy metal concentration and evaluation of health risks of selected heavy metals in African spinach (Amaranthus hybridus) and Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) products collected from the Ashaka community in Gombe state, Nigeria. Heavy metal concentration was estimated using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS, Perkin Elmer model 2130). The result showed that the concentrations of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) were below the permissible level of FAO and WHO standards and the Chinese Department of Protective Medicines limit respectively except for Cadmium (0.210 mg/kg) in African spinach which exceeds the FAO/WHO limit (0.2 mg/kg). The daily plant metal intake for Cd (0.018 - 0.007 mg/kg) and Pb (0.024 - 0.014 mg/kg) were higher than the recommended daily intake of metals but within the tolerable limit. Health risk indices showed high values for Cd, Pb, and Ni, except for Cr, Cu and Zn. The IRS evaluated for all the studied HMs were greater than one (IRS > 1). This implies that exposed populations are susceptible to developing diseases associated with Cd, Pb, and Ni.
El papel de la víctima menor de edad en el proceso penal español: cuestiones procesales
Authors: Yáñez García-Bernalt Irene
Published: November 2024

Las instituciones nacionales y supranacionales y los diferentes ordenamientos jurídicos han venido siendo conscientes de la imperante necesidad de otorgar una protección especial al colectivo de la infancia cuando sus miembros se ven inmersos en un procedimiento judicial, ya sea penal o civil. Ahora bien, cuando el menor ostenta el papel de víctima resulta imprescindible tomar medidas que permitan evitar el fenómeno de la revictimización o victimización secundaria, la cual es una consecuencia adherida al proceso penal. Paulatinamente se han ido incorporando medidas de protección de carácter procesal pero también extraprocesal que permiten minimizar el riesgo del menor durante la sustanciación de la causa. No obstante, no ha sido hasta la llegada de la Ley Orgánica 8/2021, de 4 de junio, de Protección Integral a la infancia y la adolescencia frente a la violencia, cuando se ha materializado parte de la práctica judicial que ya se estaba llevando a cabo como es la consideración de la declaración del menor como prueba preconstituida sin mermar, eso sí, las garantías del investigado y/o acusado.
Factores de riesgo de la perpetración de ciberacoso en educación primaria asociados al uso de las tecnologías en el hogar

El estudio de los factores de riesgo de la perpetración de ciberacoso en Educación Primaria asociados al uso de las tecnologías en el hogar es mucho menos frecuente que la investigación sobre dichos factores en Educación Secundaria o en el caso de la victimización de ciberacoso. Es por ello que el objetivo de este estudio es identificar factores de riesgo de la perpetración de ciberacoso en Educación Primaria, relacionados con el uso de las tecnologías en el hogar. A tal fin, se seleccionó una muestra de 1169 familias cuyos hijos cursaban 5º y 6º de Educación Primaria, encuestada a través de un cuestionario autoadministrado (α = .84). El análisis de datos realizado con el software R versión 4.1.0 consistió en la implementación de modelos bivariantes de regresión logística binaria, y partiendo de estos, en un modelo multivariante de regresión logística mediante el método stepwise. El modelo multivariante lo conformaron el tiempo de exposición diaria, el número de dispositivos tecnológicos, la finalidad del uso de las tecnologías con acceso a Internet y la zona de uso en el hogar. Así pues, el uso de más de un dispositivo tecnológico, durante más de una hora diaria, en la propia habitación del niño para hablar con amigos presentan una relación conjunta con la perpetración de ciberacoso en Educación Primaria. Estos resultados son de gran utilidad para diseñar propuestas psicoeducativas de intervención para las familias que deben potenciar la mediación parental activa y el uso conjunto de las tecnologías con sus hijos, a partir de estrategias basadas en el establecimiento de normas consensuadas, la comunicación asertiva y el apoyo intrafamiliar.
Modelling for uncertainty in HBIM processes

The application of HBIM for the information management of historical buildings is often hindered by the presence of uncertainty due to limited geometric information and documentation at the time of modelling; controlling and organising this level of uncertainty, in view of future developments, becomes paramount. This paper presents an HBIM workflow to tackle uncertainty by capitalising on parametric modelling and 4D modelling. Parametric modelling is used as a dynamic tool that allows for an easy and quick update of the model when new data become available, while 4D modelling is used for disassembling the building backwards, establishing temporal relationships among building elements and organising them in successive phases, when uncertainty concerns the historical development of building elements and architectural interventions. The workflow was applied to a building of industrial archaeology in southern Italy, the ‘De Simone’ factory, which is abandoned and in a poor state of conservation, but represents a valuable historical testimony due to its rich stratification resulting from significant physical and functional transformations over time. This application shows that structuring the data implementation process to accommodate the available information and its future integration, through the use of parametric and 4D modelling, can be very efficient to support documentation, conservation and enhancement activities on built heritage.

Controllership en de performativiteit van management accounting en control: naar een verbreding van perspectief
Authors: Vosselman Ed
Published: November 2024

Onderzoek naar de performativiteit van accounting geeft inzicht in hoe accounting een constituerende en mobiliserende werking kan hebben. Met name een begrip van ‘performativiteit als voortdurende reis’ heeft de potentie om het perspectief van de businesscontroller op accounting en control te verbreden. De focus van de controller verlegt zich dan van het individu naar een relationeel verband, waardoor onverwachte effecten van calculaties en prestatiemeting zichtbaar worden. Calculaties zijn geen mechanistische antwoordmachines, maar nemen deel aan een reis, een zoektocht, waarin zij managers (en anderen) verleiden of inspireren om nieuwe vragen te stellen en om betere of nieuwe mogelijkheden te zien. Prestatiemeting creëert als fenomeen condities voor de ontwikkeling van een ‘calculatieve’ ruimte waarin rationaliteit de boventoon voert. Aandacht van de controller voor onverwachte positieve en negatieve effecten daarvan is van belang.
100 jaar bestuurlijke informatieverzorging in het MAB
Authors: van Leeuwen Oscar
Published: November 2024

Aan de hand van 7 thema’s schetst dit artikel een overzicht van 100 jaar artikelen op het vlak van bestuurlijke informatieverzorging in het MAB, maar het blikt ook vooruit. De ontwikkelingen op het vlak van IT, zoals data-analyse en Artificial Intelligence, zullen de komende jaren doorzetten en leiden tot onderzoek waarover in het MAB wordt gepubliceerd. Het thema ‘betrouwbaarheid van informatie’ komt hierbij zeker terug (is door AI gegenereerde informatie te vertrouwen? Welke risico’s hangen samen met de gebruikte algoritmen?). Het effect van technologiegebruik op het gedrag van professionals op het vlak van bestuurlijke informatieverzorging en op de gebruikers van deze informatie zal steeds meer aandacht krijgen, en nieuwe wetten en regels zullen leiden tot nieuwe compliancevraagstukken.
Hoe ziet de accountancysector eruit in 2050? AFM en stakeholders in gesprek

Published: November 2024

De AFM is gestart met een project ‘visie 2050’ om een dialoog te stimuleren over hoe de accountancysector er in 2050 uit zou kunnen zien. Verdergaande digitalisering en AI, assurance op duurzaamheidsrapportering, de krappe arbeidsmarkt, veel meer en ook meer diverse stakeholders; vanuit die dagdagelijkse cocktail voor accountants is het een uitdagende vraag hoe het accountancylandschap vorm zal krijgen. Om de dialoog hierover te stimuleren, hebben we op basis van deze trends toekomstscenario’s opgesteld. Vervolgens zijn we als AFM in gesprek gegaan met vertegenwoordigers uit de accountancysector om inzichten op te halen hoe het accountancyberoep zich mogelijk gaat ontwikkelen. Dat gebeurde onder andere tijdens een door de AFM en het MAB georganiseerde rondetafelsessie op Nyenrode, eerder dit jaar.
