Critical Analysis Of Law No. 30 Of 1999 On Arbitration And Alternative Dispute Resolution Related To The Potential Development And Implementation Of Online Arbitration
Authors: Tikoariaji Wisnu
Published: October 2024

This paper critically examines the relevance of Law No. 30 of 1999 on Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution in the context of online arbitration. With the rapid growth of e-commerce and the increasing reliance on technology for dispute resolution, the legal framework governing arbitration in Indonesia has become outdated. While various arbitration institutions, such as BANI and the ICC, have adopted online arbitration processes, the existing legislation fails to accommodate these developments. This research highlights the potential legal uncertainties that arise from the lack of provisions for online arbitration in the current law and underscores the need for immediate legislative revisions. By analyzing relevant legal norms and the implementation of electronic arbitration regulations, the study aims to provide insights into how the law can be modernized to better serve the needs of contemporary dispute resolution practices in the digital age.
The Military Function of the Pastoral Colonization. In Search of the Byzantine Institutional Patterns in a Venetian Administrative Environment
Authors:   University of Patras, KORRÈ KATERINA B.
Published: October 2024

The main research question of this study is the imitation of a Byzantine institutional model by the Venetians, that of the stratiotes. The research area concerns the Byzantine Despotate of the Morea and the Venetian possessions in the Greek peninsula. During the 14th–15th century, the lack of cultivators and defense needs forced the Venetians to settle Albanian and Vlach nomads in exposed coastal areas and near fortified locations; the Byzantines have used both legislation and settlement practices while coping corresponding problems. In reference to relevant Byzantine sources, the Venetian documents help us determine the nature of the relationship of the military units camped in rural areas with their pastoral inhabitants and/or newcomers and moreover, whether we could argue for a Byzantine model or a Byzantine background while forming this relationship. We comment on the typology of choices available to the Venetians, and their attempt to convert the local peasants into a cavalry militia through legislation ‒ such as the replacement of a domestic tax or tax exemptions ‒ or integration practices, such as land concession, land reparcelling, concession of hereditary rights and mixed marriages’ license.
The Slavonic Epistles of Basarab the Elder to the Transylvanian Saxons (1474–1476)
Authors:   “N. Iorga” Institute of History, Bucharest, MIREA ANDREI
Published: October 2024

The Slavonic letters dispatched by the voivodes of Wallachia to Brașov, where they remain preserved to this day, constitute a major and invaluable source for the fifteenth-century history of Wallachia. In this article, our primary objective is to readdress the undated Slavonic epistolary corpus attributed to Basarab the Elder, who ruled Wallachia with several interruptions between 1473 and 1477. These epistles were addressed by the Wallachian voivode to the Saxon town of Brașov, while the answers of the Saxon authorities to the Wallachian lord did not generally survive. A diligent analysis of the clerks’ handwriting habits alongside a comparative investigation with other types of documentary evidence, such as charters, might not only suggest new reasoned dates for these Slavonic letters, but also could enlarge other research horizons, such as the Romanian-Ottoman relations, the history of audiences and of medieval political discourse, the political thought of the Wallachian lords, the careers of the scribes working in the chancellery, or the functional dynamics of the princely chancellery. Our essay aims to revisit this epistolary corpus through several analytical methods highlighting the usefulness and the potential of such approaches for future research.

Volatility is a key factor for option pricing. It displays skewness across different
strike prices and maturity days when implied by the Black-Scholes formula. This phenomenon
is called the volatility smile. The local volatility model is popular because it fits
this smile. It assumes the volatilities a deterministic function of underlying asset and time.
These volatilities form the local volatility surface (LVS). LVS evolves over time and this dynamics
can be high-dimensional and fluctuating. In this research, we show that the LVS may
be described by a small number of orthogonal factors. This is accomplished by studying the
LVS dynamics with time series data on option prices and extracting their essences via principal
component analysis (PCA) and multilinear PCA (MPCA). We aim at recognizing these
dominant components. In this case, the dimensions of LVS are reduced, and these dominant
components are used to reconstruct the LVS. Numerical results show that the reconstructed
LVS retains the important characteristics while filtering out noise well. In particular, over 80%
of observations are within 10% in the maximum absolute relative difference (MARD). Moreover,
MPCA provides an extra degree of freedom for reconstruction as well as interpretation
because it preserves the tensor structure.

Published: October 2024

This study presented a generic model that provided better QoS for integrated
Human-to-Human and Machine-to-Machine communication with various characteristics. The
fundamental problem, especially in a congested system, is to improve the system’s effectiveness to satisfy the expected Quality-of-Service level for the integrated communication
services since these have mutual interference. Here, the impact of buffer capacity on these
services and the effect of heterogeneity and mobility of relay nodes on overall system performance are analyzed to develop a generic model for overcoming this problem. Therefore, the
comparative results presented provided a new perspective to carry out threshold analysis with
the system capacity and system performance by clarifying the effects of various factors, such
as the cost of Machine-to-Machine traffic over Human-to-Human traffic, velocity, and heterogeneity of mobile nodes. According to the numerical results presented, unlike the previous
studies, it is possible to use a single buffer to treat the integrated services from the buffering
point of view without applying the reservation policy for any service, even for highly utilized
systems. The results are also validated using discrete event simulation with less than %5
discrepancy.

As networks expand to support various applications involving text, audio,
video, and images, data traffic increases correspondingly. Traffic classification, which identifies the origin of observed traffic, has multiple applications, including dynamic bandwidth
allocation, traffic analysis, quality of service, and network security. Traditional network traffic
classification methods like deep packet inspection rely on manually creating and maintaining
communication profiles for various applications. However, these methods face challenges
such as dynamic port changes and encrypted traffic. Machine Learning (ML) classifiers offer
effective solutions to these issues, providing accurate network traffic classification. Due to
these advancements, deep learning models are now utilized for network traffic classification
and prediction. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) has emerged as a highly effective deep
learning technique for addressing time series prediction challenges. This study aims to analyze the performance of forecasting network traffic using LSTM, with different activation
functions and optimizers with Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error
(MAPE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Coefficient of
Determination (R-Squared) parameters as the model evaluation index. This demonstrates how
these parameters impact network traffic forecasting performance.

The study analyzes the symbolical space using practice in the period from the social-political turnaround of Romania in 1989 to the present in Szeklerland. The aim is to present the trended changes in the symbolical space using practice in the public space since the regime change. The study is based on results of research programs conducted at WAC – Centre for Regional and Anthropological Research. Analyzing the results of the research programs, we determined three intervals from 1990 to the present. In the first interval, symbolical space using practice was dominated by rehabilitation processes. In the second interval, creating new symbolic spaces and events was more typical. In the last interval, new processes have emerged, such as integration and individualization. In addition to analyzing the changes, we also aim at presenting the social function of symbolical space using practice in different time intervals.

Archetype of transformation in The Legend of Sleepers by Danilo Kiš
Authors: Drakulić-Kozić Nataša
Published: October 2024

Considering that the mythical subtext of the novelette 'The Legend of Sleepers' from the collection The Encyclopedia of the Dead by Danilo Kiš has not been sufficiently analyzed in literary science, this paper deals with intertextual relations which this text has with the holy books - the Quran, the Talmud and the Bible. Special attention is given to the main motifs of death and resurrection, reviewing the temporal and spatial framework of narration. It is stressed that the period of dreaming is very long and that the cave is a secretive locus, which corresponds with the metamorphoses of the characters on symbolic level, as well as with their unconscious state during the separation of the spiritual from the physical part of the sleeping being. Methodological approach lies in Carl Gustav Jung's archetypal theory. Conclusions are made through the text analyses with the review of its paratextual elements - motto of the collection, motto of the novelette, writer's notes at the end of the book. The research results indicate that the author reinterprets the myth and questions the sources he relies on because he treats them with irony.
Specificities of the property restitution procedure under the law of the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Selaković Jasna , Mirković Predrag
Published: October 2024

In all the republics of the former Yugoslavia, including in the Republic of Serbia, property relations were highly dynamic, with the answer to the question of who held ownership rights frequently changing. In Serbia, among the last countries in the region, a systemic law regulating property restitution was only passed in 2011 - the Law on the Restitution of Confiscated Property and Compensation. This law, encompassing both substantive civil and procedural administrative law, introduces a special procedure for the return of confiscated property and compensation, in which, in certain areas, significant deviations from the general rules of administrative procedure are evident. This paper examines the specificities of the property restitution procedure as a special administrative procedure and highlights the key differences compared to the general administrative procedure.
Tackling Israel’s Interference with the International Criminal Court

On 8 October 2024, The Guardian reported that a criminal complaint had been filed in the Netherlands in connection with the shocking (yet unsurprising) revelations published by The Guardian, +972 Magazine, and Local Call on 28 May concerning hostile state activities targeting the International Criminal Court (ICC). The criminal complaint is both timely and viable and should lead to the expeditious opening of an investigation by the Dutch prosecution service. The political response by the Dutch and other governments of ICC States so far is insufficient to address the problem of interference with the ICC investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine.
Епидемията от едра шарка и Френско-пруската война (1870 - 1871)
Authors: Кръстев Любомир
Published: October 2024

Една от най-смъртоносните пандемии от дребна шарка в европейската история, разпространението на болестта през 1870-1875 г. е свързано с благоприятните условия, дължащи се на контакта на заразените френски военнопленници с германското цивилно население. Общият брой на загиналите от пандемията е петстотин хиляди европейци. Основният фокус на това изследване е ефектът от пандемията от дребна шарка в френската армия по време на войната с Прусия през 1870-1871 г. - въпрос, който продължава да лежи в неизвестност. Новите изследвания в областта на историята на медицината и ценните исторически източници показват, че дребната шарка е имала опустошително въздействие върху френската армия по време на войната, тъй като повечето от войниците ѝ не са разполагали с ваксини срещу вируса Variola. За разлика от френската, пруската армия е разполагала с ком-ваксинация от 1834 г. и германските войници са били защитени от болестта по време на целия конфликт. Зашеметяващият крах на Франция във войната, довела до обединението на Германия, се обяснява не със стратегическите и тактическите способности на пруската армия, а по-скоро с ефекта, който болестта оказва върху французите.
The Main Stages of the Development of the Russian Anti-Corruption Legislation
Authors: Tsirin Artem
Published: October 2024

The article examines the main stages of the development of the Russian anti-corruption legislation, which in a relatively short time has overcome the path in its development from a rather disparate legal array to a separate legislative block united by a single subject and purpose of legal regulation. Seven stages of the development of domestic anti-corruption legislation from 1991 to the present have been identified, each of which has its own characteristics due to the dynamics of public relations and the political will that determines the main directions of the state anti-corruption policy. The authors conclude that initially the task of combating corruption was of subordinate importance and was considered exclusively in the context of suppressing corrupt ties of organized crime. The adoption of the basic Federal law “On Combating Corruption” has become a kind of foundation for the formation of a set of special legislative and subordinate regulatory legal acts around it, dedicated to certain areas of the state anti-corruption policy. The authors consider the consolidation of anticorruption standards at the constitutional level to be a logical continuation of the development of anticorruption legislation, which gave rise to a wave of updating and consolidating anti-corruption regulation, up to subordination to the goals of combating corruption of financial, legal and information-legal tools. Further disclosure of the potential of anti-corruption legislation is associated with the increased use of both legal and religious, ethical regulators, including the introduction of the institution of shame, as well as social engineering and cybernetics to ensure comprehensive control over established norms of behavior.
Investigation of sealing materials with excellent cold temperature flexibility in hydrogen environments

Published: October 2024

Reliable operation is a key requirement for hydrogen technology. Operating conditions of up to 1000bar pressure and temperatures of -40°C and 85°C, which are demanded for hydrogen-powered vehicles, are challenging to be met by sealing materials such as TPEs and rubbers. In-depth understanding of material behavior is therefore needed to meet the requirement of reliable operation. In this work, the relevant properties for hydrogen applications are studied for two polyurethane grades, one EPDM, and two NBR grades with low ACN-content. To characterize low temperature properties, results of typical methods to characterize the glass transition of sealing materials are compared to static sealability on a component level test with a T-seal design. To measure permeation of hydrogen through those materials, a test rig was developed that allows the measurement of hydrogen permeation at temperatures up to 75°C and pressures of up to 800 bar within research project funded by the European Union. Samples of the mentioned sealing materials were placed in an autoclave and exposed to temperatures at the upper service temperature at a pressure of 1000bar. Mechanical properties were tested accordingly before and shortly after the exposure. The tests after exposure were repeated 48 hours after the pressurized hydrogen exposure in order to quantify the reversibility of effects such as swelling. As another dimension to compatibility, material samples were exposed to pressurized hydrogen at room temperature and tribological properties (wear, coefficient of friction) were characterized in-situ with a linear tribometer in ball-on-plate configuration. Results show that all selected materials meet the demand of cold-temperature flexibility and compatibility to hydrogen, however distinguish in their swelling behavior, wear resistance and permeability.

Në këtë artikull do të përqendrohemi kryesisht në historinë e krijimit të kolonisë shqiptare të Borgo Ericos (Borgo Erizzo) në Zarë, të cilën e kemi shtjelluar në dy tema bosht. Pavarësisht se në literaturën e huaj, sidomos në atë në gjuhën kroate, por edhe në gjuhët italiane e gjermane, tashmë ka të dhëna për komunitetin e arbëreshëve të Zarës, në literaturën historike është shkruar pothuajse shumë pak për ta dhe ky artikull synon ta mbulojë këtë boshllëk.Së pari, trajtohen rrethanat politiko-shoqërore por edhe ekonomike që ekzistonin në Shqipëri gjatë periudhës së shpërnguljes së shqiptarëve në Zarë të Kroacisë. Në qendër të vëmendjes do të jenë pikërisht krahinat nga e kishin origjinën arbëreshët e Zarës, pra famullitë e Shestanit dhe të Briskut dhe famullitë e dioqezës së Shkodrës. Tematika e dytë ka të bëjë me ikjen e atyre grupeve të shqiptarëve, të cilët më vonë krijuan kolonitë e arbëreshëve të Zarës.Në artikull do të bëhet fjalë për valët e ndryshme të këtyre refugjatëve, fatet e tyre të mëtejshme dhe mundësisht të dhëna mbi familjet dhe zakonet e tyre. Argjipeshkëv i Zarës në atë kohë ishte Vinçens Zmajeviq i cili pati një meritë të madhe në vendosjen e shqiptarëve në Zarë, por në lidhje me ndikimin dhe aktivitetin që zhvilloi Zmajeviq në procesin e kësaj shpërnguljeje, në pritjen dhe në sistemimin e këtyre shqiptarëve në Kroaci, do të flitet në një artikull tjetër që është tashmë në proces përgatitjeje. Artikulli bazohet qoftë në literaturë historike, qoftë në dokumente arkivore të gjetura në Arkivin Shtetëror të Zadarit dhe citimi i këtyre dokumenteve është bërë sipas rregullores zyrtare që ka ky arkiv.
Tregtarët e Voskopojës në portin e Durrësit dhe marrëdhëniet tregtare me Venecien në dy dekadat e para të shek. XVIII
Authors: Saraçi Alvin

Marrëdhëniet tregtare të Voskopojës me Venecien nëpërmjet portit të Durrësit gjatë tri dekadave të fundit të shek. XVII dhe përgjatë shek. XVIII përkojnë me periudhën e urbanizimit të qytetit. Tregtarët voskopojarë patën një rol të rëndësishëm në zhvillimin e tregtisë nëpërmjet lidhjeve të ngushta me konsujt venecianë të Durrësit, Giorgio Cumano dhe nipin e tij Giorgio Emmanuele Cumano, të cilët kishin qenë më parë korrespondentët e tyre në Venecia. Konsullatat e tjera të huaja u përpoqën të zgjeronin tregtinë e tyre nëpërmjet disa tregtarëve nga Janina dhe Siatista, që kishin krijuar kompani të përbashkëta me tregtarët e Voskopojës. Megjithatë, Venecia pati vëllimin më të madh të tregtisë në Durrës dhe jo vetëm i përfshiu ata në këto shkëmbime, por i angazhoi edhe në marrëdhëniet me autoritetet lokale dhe në letërkëmbimin me bailiun. Edhe gjatë luftës turko-veneciane të Moresë, venecianët e vazhduan tregtinë duke u mbështetur te dy tregtarë, njëri prej të cilëve voskopojar, të cilët hapën seli të tjera konsullore. Në këtë periudhë, Voskopoja pati një zhvillim ekonomik, social dhe kulturor. Pas Traktatit të Pasarovicit (1718) nisi rënia e tregtisë së Durrësit me Venecien dhe u krijuan premisat që tregtarët e Voskopojës të largoheshin drejt Europës Qendrore.
Emancipimi i gruas: Ligjërimi mbi rolin e gruas në vitet 1960-1970 në faqet e revistës “Shqiptarja e re”
Authors: Këlliçi Klejd , Danaj Ermira
Published: October 2024

Ky punim është një përpjekje për të identifikuar faza të ndryshme të ligjërimit të konceptit të emancipimit të gruas gjatë komunizmit në Shqipëri mes viteve 1950-1970. Emancipimi i gruas shihet si një prej politikave më të rëndësishme të aplikuara me themelimin e regjimit, e po kështu ndër ato më afatgjatat në ndërhyrje. Gratë u bënë subjekt ndërhyrjeje e transformimi të drejtuar nga Partia, e cila përcaktonte identitetin e mënyrën se si ky i fundit duhej të shfaqej në hapësirën e re të Shqipërisë socialiste. Shqetësimi apo ndërtimi i politikave publike mbi emancipimin e gruas ishte pjesë sa e arsenalit ideologjik, aq edhe e modeleve tashmë të manifestuara si ai i Bashkimit Sovjetik. Kështu regjimi jo vetëm që u mundua të vepronte e të transformonte gruan nisur nga parimet ideologjike të marksizmit por, mbi të gjitha, u mundua të aplikonte një model të provuar e të dëshirueshëm imitimi, atë sovjetik duke u përpjekur më pas, sidomos pas vitit 1961 të ofronte një version shqiptar të modelit të emancipimit të gruas.
Vakëfi i Sinan Pashës dhe ndikimi i tij në zhvillimin urbanistik e kulturor të Elbasanit gjatë shek. XVI

Elbasani ishte njëri prej qyteteve më të rëndësishme ekonomike, politike, demografike e kulturore të Shqipërisë gjatë periudhës së sundimit osman. I pozicionuar në një hapësirë strategjike, që kishte qenë përherë aks i lidhjes, komunikimit e rivalitetit kulturor, ekonomik, ushtarak e politik ndërmjet Perëndimit dhe Lindjes, Elbasani pësoi një zhvillim tejet të shpejtë fill pas rindërtimit të tij prej Sulltan Mehmedit II në verën e vitit 1466. I varur fillimisht administrativisht prej Ohrit, brenda një kohe të shkurtër Elbasani u kthye në qendër sanxhaku, duke përfshirë nën juridiksionin e tij hapësira territoriale që shtriheshin nga bregdeti i Durrësit, Kavajës e Bashtovës deri në pjesët malore të Çermenikës. Të gjitha këto resurse ekonomike e demografike u pozicionuan në qendrën e sanxhakut, qytetin e Elbasanit që përjetoi një urbanizim të shpejtë. Ky artikull synon të trajtojë rolin e vakëfeve, në rastin konkret atij të Sinan Pashës, në zhvillimin e një qendre të rëndësishme të kohës siç ishte qyteti i Elbasanit.

Artikulli trajton forcat serbe të përfshira në luftën e Kosovës gjatë viteve 1998-1999. Qeveria e Serbisë gjatë viteve në fjalë angazhoi një numër të madh të forcave të armatosura serbo-jugosllave që paraqisnin një kombinim kompleks të Ministrisë së Punëve të Brendshme (MPB), përfshirë këtu forcat e rregullta dhe ato speciale të Ushtrisë Jugosllave (UJ) dhe njësive të saj, forcave apo njësive të ndryshme paramilitare, milicive lokale dhe grupe mercenarësh që u sollën nga jashtë, të gjitha këto nën ombrellën, kontrollin apo urdhrat e qeverisë në Beograd. Qëllimi i këtij punimi është të trajtojë hierarkinë dhe veprimet e tyre të përbashkëta në luftën kundër Ushtrisë Çlirimtare të Kosovës (UÇK), krimet kundër popullsisë civile dhe spastrimin etnik të Kosovës. Në historiografinë shqiptare deri më tani nuk kemi shkrime për formacione të tilla që kanë vepruar në Kosovë, dhe kjo është përpjekja e parë me synim që të thellohet më tej aspekti studimor në këtë drejtim. Andaj, vlerësojmë që do të jetë pjesë kontribuuese në historiografinë shqiptare e më gjerë.
Analysis of Birth Statistics, Examination of Caesarean Rates and Caesarean Indications; Retrospective Study
Authors: Eminov Elmin , Eminov Ayşe
Published: October 2024

Aim: This study investigated cesarean delivery rates and indications for cesarean delivery among patients who gave birth in our clinic between 2019 and 2022.
Material and Method: For the study, the data of 16,559 patients who gave birth between 2019 and 2022 in the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic of a Training and Research Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The mode of delivery, gender information, fetal birth weight, vaginal delivery, and cesarean section rates and indications for cesarean section were analyzed.
Results: Among the patients who gave birth in our clinic between January 01, 2019, and December 31, 2022, 58.1% delivered vaginally, and 41.9% delivered by cesarean section. According to the four-year average, 48.5% of the babies born were girls, and 51.5% were boys. The most common indication for cesarean section was previous uterine surgery. The rate of primary cesarean section among cesarean deliveries was 47%. The most common indications for primary cesarean section were fetal distress, breech presentation, and non-progressive labor. Conclusion: In our clinic, the four-year average cesarean delivery rate was 41.9%. Although this rate is below the national average of 53%, it is above the Ministry of Health's target rate of 35% in Turkey. When evaluated specifically for our province, we think this is mainly due to the lack of obstetrician-gynecologists in the districts and the high number of referrals to our hospital. Nevertheless, considering these results, it is clear that more comprehensive studies are needed to reduce cesarean section rates.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Falls in the elderly population are one of the main geriatric syndromes and a clear indicator of the fragility of the elderly population. Falls are a leading cause of death and injury in the elderly, resulting
in disability and immobility requiring ongoing medical care and high treatment costs. Difficulties in performing daily life activities increase with age due to decline in physical and cognitive functioning. Research objectives: To assess the ability to perform daily life activities, to analyze the risks of falling in elderly people. Methods: 100 people over the age of 65 participated in the research. The research instruments were a questionnaire for the assessment of daily life activities - Barthel Scale / Index (BI) and a questionnaire on screening assessments for the evaluation of falls.
Results: The Barthel index shows that the majority of respondents perform daily life activities without problems. Intrinsic factors prove that the median score was 12 with an interquartile range of 7 to 15, which represents the risk of falls in people of the third age. Extrinsic risk factors for falls in people of the third age indicate a median of 4 with an interquartile range of 2 to 5, which represents the risk for falls in older people. The most influential risk factors for falling in our survey are difficulty walking upstairs, incorrect
or insufficient use of orthopedic aids, feeling of instability when standing up for the first time, complaining of weakness or reduced sensation in one or the other leg, feeling of low self-confidence, instability when walking and fear from falling. Conclusion: Analyzing the risk factors for a fall, we obtained the result that there is an evident risk for a fall. Based on the estimated risk of falling, the most influential risk factors that affect the performance of
daily life activities of elderly people were singled out.
Atmospheric Fungal Spore Injection: A Promising Breakthrough for Challenging the Impacts of Climate Change Through Cloud Seeding and Weather Modification

Published: October 2024

Cloud seeding is a technique used to enhance precipitation in drought-prone areas, support agricultural productivity, ensure water supply for human consumption, improve hydropower generation from dams, lessen hurricanes, cool urban heat, and disperse fog in airports. Growing global population size and climate change are the biggest impetus for weather modification and cloud seeding operations. Currently, salt powders like silver iodide, potassium iodide, sodium chloride, calcium chloride, dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), and liquid propane are widely used as ice nucleating particles for cloud seeding purposes while in natural cloud formation, and precipitation particles from dust storms, mineral dust and biological aerosols (like spores, pollen, bacteria) are the dominant ice nucleators. Having this knowledge on hand and the ubiquitous nature of fungi on the other hand; it is feasible to exploit the ice nucleating ability of fungal spores and use it as potential candidates for cloud seeding and weather modification operations.
