National and Ethnic Minorities' Legal Position in East Central Europe Between 1789 and 1989
Authors: Halász Iván
Published: August 2022

This chapter provides a short history of the legal protection of national minorities in East Central Europe. The region has a relatively long history of legal protection of national and ethnic minorities. This history is connected to the complicated ethnic and social structure across the region because parallel nation- and state-building have been typical for East Central Europe in the last two centuries. The chapter distinguishes three main periods in modern history regarding the issue of minorities. The first legal norms were created in the 19 th century. The multilateral international protection of minority rights was established in the interwar period, during the existence of the League of Nations, which played an important role in the realization of this protection. Many countries realized restrictive anti-minority policies during and after the Second World War (mainly in the 1945–1948 years). The introduction of the communist minority policy inspired by the Soviet (Leninist) model in East Central Europe meant an element of stabilization in the sphere of minority issues and the legal protection of minorities. A very important specific feature of the position of East Central European minorities is the dependence on the international politics and position of the great powers. This fact sometimes moderated the minority situation in the region. Despite similar circumstances, conditions, and international challenges, the internal development of the legal protection of minorities underwent a different dynamic process. These differences mainly depended on the internal development of certain states and their societies. The post-war nationalistic repressions were, for example, the most radical in Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, which improved the relatively generous minority policy several years later. The post-war situation was more moderate and tolerant in Romania, which implemented a radical anti-minority policy only in the 1970s, when Romania was (relatively) the most independent from pressure from Moscow. A nationstate’s greater independence in international relations (without strong international legal guarantees) was not always good news for the national and ethnic minorities in the East Central European region.
Collections of Customary Law in East Central Europe Using the Example of Opus Tripartitum
Authors: Vladár Vojtech
Published: August 2022

Customary law dominated at the beginning of the development of all legal systems, and this status persisted until the times when they were equaled by laws of the authorities disposing of necessary state power. However, even then, customs were not instantly sidelined, and these two sources were engaged in competition for centuries. Mention was topical, with certain exceptions and individualities, even regarding the legal systems of Central and Eastern Europe. The most widely known compilation of this provenance was Stephen Werbőczy’s collection of customary law from the second decade of the 16 th century that became famous under the name Opus Tripartitum. Using it as an example, we can demonstrate typical legal development in this period, not only for the Kingdom of Hungary but also for several neighboring countries. The main goal of this article is to point out the historical development of its origin, identify the authorial spirit in which it was written, and clarify the conflict between customary and written law, which was resolved determinatively by reason of this compilation in favor of the first for the next centuries.

Authors: Hulkó Gábor , Radvan Michal
Published: August 2022

This chapter deals with the basic features of financial law in the Czech Republic. The authors present Czech financial law using the branch-creating criteria: a specific object of legal regulation, a specific method of regulation, a system coherence of financial law norms, and a social acceptance. As the legal relationships regulated by the financial law are very diverse, the Brno legal school uses two groups of these relationships. The fiscal part of financial law deals with the legal relationships created, implemented, and expired in the process of creating, distribution, and use of public monetary funds. It covers tax law, budgetary law, and public subsidies law. The non-fiscal part of financial law deals with the legal relationships created, implemented, and expired in connection with ensuring the functioning of the monetary and financial system. The non-fiscal part covers monetary and foreign exchange law, financial markets law, gaming law, hallmark law, and public procurement law.

The goal of cyber security is to protect the internet against online attacks. One of the most frequently used terminologies in cybersecurity is “cyber-threats,” which refers to the use of information and communication technology (ICT) for hostile purposes by a range of criminals. The complexity of cyber security architecture makes higher safety measures necessary to guard against system flaws and potential global catastrophes. One of the most important security issues today is cyber attack. a cyber breach could make nuclear systems safety and securitysafeguards ineffective, which is especially important for nuclear systems. India, which has a sizable and developing nuclear programme, has a similar situation. Over the past few decades, governments, including India, have invested a significant amount of time and money in building effective physical safeguards for nuclear installations, which has raised the risk of a cyber or hybrid attack. The risk of hacking, disruption, or sabotage rises as nuclear infrastructure becomes more and more reliant on cyber technology. Any cyberattack’s antagonistic goal is to take advantage of a system’s weaknesses in order to take over, operate, and keep a presence on the target system. Designing standards that can accommodate both immediate and long-term needs is crucial due to the sensitivity of nuclear materials and infrastructure. The study’s objective is to discuss the proposed arrangement of cyber security in nuclear domain in India.

A 13 year boy was operated (exploratory laparotomy) for unexplained pain abdomen and a live fetus was found attached to left kidney. It was explained to be a case of identical twin. In twins, the placental capillaries anastomose very intricately so that one fetus may draw more blood resulting to deprivation of blood supply to other fetus who may end up to no supply later. But it did not kill the deprived fetus, but remain arrested in the erstwhile embryonic stage. While remaining in extraperitoneal space the deprived fetus is joined by herniated intestines of healthy fetus in physiological hernia. Later when intestines return to abdominal cavity (by creating extra space in abdomen) of heathy fetus the stunted fetus accompany intestines and managed to reach within abdominal cavity of healthy baby.
In-silico works on the control of blood glucose level for different Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Subjects using improved Hovorka equations
Authors: Som AM , Sohadi NAM , Johari MF , Ali SA , Nor NSM , Ahmad MA
Published: August 2022

Background: One of the most common types of diabetes is Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) which causes high or low blood glucose levels (BGL) in a patient’s body. T1DM patients need to maintain their BGL in a safe glycemic range which is between 4.0 mmol/L to 7 mmol/L. Thus, it is high time to find the optimum insulin infusion rate into the patient’s body in achieving prolonged normoglycemic range. Methods: Previous workers had focused on employing the improved Hovorka equations via in-silico study using one T1DM patient’s data; however, in-silico works employing more actual patients’ data are yet to be explored. Hence, this study attempts to apply the improved Hovorka equations on three different T1DM subjects so as to simulate their BGL profiles based on daily stipulated meal disturbances, individual body weights and age group. Results: Results showed that the optimum insulin infusion rates required to regulate the BGL within safe glycemic range were at 0.1 U/min, 0.05 U/min and 0.0167 U/min for the case of patients 1, 2 and 3, respectively; provided that different amounts of meal intake (DG) were observed by each patient during breakfast, lunch and dinner times. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study had proven that the improved Hovorka equations can be used to simulate the meal disturbance effect on BGL for more T1DM patients.

Published: August 2022

Women have always fought for their rights. Women's status is regarded to be lowered in a patriarchal society and a male-dominated power system. Weakened women seek relief and liberation on their own. Awareness has grown as a result of liberation campaigns, feminist movements, and reformation concepts. "Women's empowerment" refers to improving women's social, economic, and political standing. It advocates for the development of non-state and state leadership capacities. Women's empowerment is critical in today's world. The feminist movement began in the 1800s when British women wanted the right to vote. Since then, there have been two global waves of feminism. The five components of women's empowerment are increasing women's sense of self-worth, giving them the freedom to choose and make decisions on issues that affect them, providing them with opportunities and resources, and giving them the authority to make decisions about their own lives, both inside and outside the home. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin approved the proposal in the Pappampatti Gram Sabha in Madurai. Tamil Nadu, in southern India, will provide a safe, secure, healthy, and aspirational environment for its 3.2 crore women through operational convergence among departments, boosting women's development outcomes, and involving both genders in the common goal.

Cross-Region Marriages in Rural Haryana: Summary of the Existing Literature on Women and their Children
Authors: . Ankit
Published: August 2022

Haryana in north India has had a history of continued low sex ratio and gender regressive society over the years. Men started finding it difficult to urge married locally and hence brought wives from poor and faraway places. Cross-region marriages are those marriages that traverse the normal boundaries of village exogamy (marriage outside one’s own village), caste endogamy (marriage within the caste), language, class, and culture, and often entail a long distance within India. These are arranged marriages and do not occur through the agency of people brought together by the wedding, i.e., these are not love marriages. They take a girl completely aloof from her maternal family home, region, language, and cultural contexts. The burden of adjustment in such marriages lies solely on the ladies and society seems to not ‘accept’ them as their own. Children too do not have it easy as there’s ambiguity about their ‘acceptance’ in Haryana society. There is a big lack of literature on the children that makes it difficult to predict their future. And as these marriages increase in number, it becomes necessary to create new scientific research evidence on matters of those children specifically using new and untested research methods, concepts, and geographies.

Authors: Vaishali Nagar  , Mayuri Rastogi
Published: August 2022

The major motive of this research work is to study the preparation of candies from orange and lemon peels. Citrus peels are the discarded or waste material from citrus fruits which are used as a main ingredient in this research to utilize fruit waste and to reduce harmful effects on the environment and to produce value added products. Orange peels are an excellent source of vit-C, fibre, vit-B6, folic acid, calcium and other nutrients. Due to the presence of naturally occurring chemical limonene they have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Lemon peels are a good source of calcium, potassium, fibre, vit-C and healthy enzymes and flavonoids that have antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. Orange and lemon peels were dried to obtain high fibre and vit-C rich powder which is then used to prepare candies. Three samples of candies were prepared- C1(20 g orange peel powder + 100 g sugar), C2 (20 g lemon peel powder + 100 g sugar), C3(10 g orange peel powder+10 g lemon peel powder + 100 g sugar). Physio-chemical properties of candies such as pH, moisture content and Ash content were determined by using AOAC methods. Crude fibre, total sugar, vitamin C content and shelf-life of prepared candy were analysed.  Sensory evaluation of candies was done by using hedonic scale.
An approach to search the potentiality of node in bamboo strip reinforced composites
Authors: Iqbal MI , Mizan RA , Khan AN
Published: August 2022

Bamboo has recently entered the composite sector with some attractive labels such as â€˜greenâ€™. The current commercial manufacturing method of bamboo composite removes the nodeâ€™s portion of bamboo culm during bamboo processing. This method generates a high amount of solid waste materials along with processing complexity and the scientific merit of this practice is also questionable. This research investigates the effects of culm nodes on bamboo based composite properties. In this study an approach to produce bamboo strips reinforced epoxy composites and their mechanical properties (e.g. tensile, flexural and impact properties) were reported. It was demonstrated that mechanical properties of composites slightly varied with nodes and internodes. As expected, the addition of bamboo strips has significantly improved mechanical properties of polymeric resin. Composites along with nodes part had the highest mechanical properties in terms of tensile strength, tensile modulus and flexural strength. In contrast, composites made with internodes showed the highest mechanical properties in terms of tensile strain and impact strength. However, the difference between their mechanical properties were not significant which revealed that bamboo node may be used as potential materials in bio-based composite industry.
The water permeability properties of re-vibrated lightweight concrete
Authors: Kassim M M
Published: August 2022

Re-vibration of sequential layers of relatively deep structural members after a particular time harms the strength and water permeability properties of the concrete. The harmful effects can be observed in lightweight concrete due to the floating tendency of lightweight aggregate. In this experimental study, the influence of adding retarder plasticizer and silica fume on water permeability properties of re-vibrated lightweight concrete was investigated. The effects of re-vibration at different time lags on compressive strength and permeable voids ratio were studied. Absorption, sorptivity, and water penetration depth under pressure were also studied. Results show that the addition of a retarder increased the compressive strength and reduced the permeability for all mixes, even though the mixes were re-vibrated before the final set of the cement. Similar effects were found in mixes that contained silica fume as partial replacement of cement, except the sorptivity properties of concrete when compared with the control mixture. A linear relationship between permeable voids and water absorption was set.
The luminescence, optical, and structural properties of SrMoO4:Ce3+ phosphor for photonics material applications
Authors: Kaewnuam E , Wantana N , Saikaew S , Kaewkhao J
Published: August 2022

SrMoO4:Ce3+ phosphors with different Ce2O3 concentration were studied in the structure, optical and luminescence properties. The phosphor powders were synthesized by a solid-state reaction to investigate with the XRD, FTIR, absorption and emission spectra measurement. The XRD patterns confirm the tetragonal crystalline structure of SrMoO4 host composition. The FTIR spectra show the dominant vibrations of tetrahedral [MoO4]2- unit in powders. These phosphors absorb photons in the range of ultraviolet and visible light proved by the absorption spectra. The emission spectra represent the strongest emission at 421 nm wavelength of phosphors under 266 nm excitation. This emission occurred under the transition from the intermediate states between the band gap of SrMoO4 host and its intensity tends toreduce with an increment of Ce2O3 concentration due to the perturbation from electron interaction. The SrMoO4: Ce3+ phosphor performs the interesting potential for photonic applications such as ultraviolet to visible light converter and near-ultraviolet / visible light source.

Thar Coalfield in Pakistan is the largest reserve of lignite coal in the country, which is outlined by thick coal seams. The preferred mining method for these thick coal seams is the Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC). The connection of both the top coal caving and its compactness are still rare; therefore, the capability of top coal caving mechanism is the most significant factor in LTCC that must be adequately explained and examined. Moreover, in order to achieve the ideal coal production, a comprehensive modeling of deformation and induced stress is mandatory. In this study, a 12 m thick coal seam with cutting to caving height ratios like 1:2 and 1:3 has been modelled, and the mechanism of longwall top coal caving demonstrated and front abutment vertical stress distribution in front of face line values were computed with the help of UDEC at Block-IX, Thar Coalfield. The results reveal that a thick layer of top coal can be progressively caved behind the face at the ratio 1:3 instead of 1:2 (which explained the incompetent caving progress of top coal). Similarly, the maximum vertical abutment stress of 20 MPa was observed at 6m in front of the face when cutting to caving height ratio was 1:2 and at 3m in front of face with 1:3 (which is comparatively capable for the face advancement), respectively. Therefore, this numerical modeling study proposes the reasonable height of top coal caving at cutting to caving height ratio 1:3 for the efficient production of thick coal seams at Thar Coalfield.

The microstructure and corrosion behaviour of as-cast and heat-treated Mg-1.44Nd and Mg-1.43Ce (wt.%) alloys in 0.9% NaCl (wt.%) solution were investigated using electrochemical tests, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy, combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The as-cast microstructure of both alloys revealed the presence of second phases. Heat treatment at 535Â°C for 6 h led to a more uniform distribution of the second phases in Mg-1.44Nd alloy and their dissolution along the grains boundaries in the Mg-1.43Ce alloy. As a result, the corrosion resistance was improved in the heat-treated alloys. Accordingly, the corrosion resistance values for the heat-treated alloys were much higher than those of the as-cast alloys, indicating that the heat-treated alloys were less susceptible to the corrosion. Also, the heat-treated Mg-1.43Ce alloy seems to have very good corrosion resistance (26890 Î© cm2) compared to the Mg-1.44Nd alloy (6156 Î©Â·cm2) by preventing pitting corrosion along the grains boundaries. The corrosion product was made up mainly of magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2 and magnesium oxide MgO and more uniform corrosion morphology were found in the heat-treated alloys.

Nanoparticles (NPs) with nonmetallic cores and metallic shells (such as Au, Ag, and Cu) can exhibit improve absorption efï¬ciency due to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), charge density oscillations at the surfaces of these core-shell composite nanoparticles. In this study, the effect of the geometry of TiO2@Ag core-shell composite nanoparticles on their optical absorption properties was theoretically illustrated in the wavelength ranges between the visible and infrared light regions of electromagnetic radiation. These nanostructures were modeled by varying the TiO2 core and Ag shell radii of the composite nanospheres and nanowires. The results indicate that varying the TiO2 core radius and Ag shell thickness can be used to tune the absorption efï¬ciency of these materials from the UV region to the visible or infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. An increase in the absorption efï¬ciency with greater core radii was observed. The absorption efficiency peaks of core-shell nanospheres or nanowires increased with the shell radius. Theoretical modeling based on these results suggest that this nanomaterial can be effectively utilized so that its optical absorption properties can be tuned. These properties could help to synthesize TiO2@Ag core-shell composite NPs for use in environmental applications such as treating contaminated water and in novel future devices.

Marine and automobile components are subjected to corrosion and cavitation erosion during their service. This paper aims to study the use of hard coatings on aluminium substrates with multiple layers of coating comprising of sub-micron sized WC-Co and Cr3C2-NiCr for enhancement of hardness, corrosion and cavitation erosion properties. Coatings are applied on aluminium substrates using high-velocity liquid fuel (HVLF) spray technique and the coating parameters are optimized for best results. The results indicate that multiple layered coating with alternate film coatings of Cr3C2-NiCr & submicron WC-Co has significantly improved the hardness of aluminium surface. The resistance to corrosion with multiple layers of coating is found to be exceptional and similar to monolayer Cr3C2-NiCr coating. Cavitation erosion tests performed as per ASTM G32 show that coating with multiple layers could resist the erosion of materials under dynamic conditions. The number of layers in the multiple-layer coatings strongly affects the hardness, corrosion and cavitation erosion properties.

This paper aims to reveal the change of diffusion coefficient and permeability of the acrylic composition with different types of fillers (such as cement, sand, mica, and talc) in the various aggressive mediums. Also, the adhesive strength was determined as the maximal stress caused by detaching metal plate from the surface of the concrete. To evaluate the stability of the compositions, the samples of the acrylic compositions were saturated with acid and alkali solutions during a certain time. Basing on the mass change, the coefficients of diffusion, sorption, and permeability were calculated. The sand filled acrylic composition showed the least sorption (0.2%) and water permeability (0.008 gÃ—cmâ€“1Ã—sâ€“1), as well as the highest adhesion strength (53.2 MPa). However, all studied compositions satisfy the requirements of the current permeability standards, and they can be used for construction protection from the aggressive environment action. It is important for the durability of the structures as it will prolongate their operative time, as well as reduce the operating and repair costs.

In this research ball on disc wear tests have been carried out on Titanium grade 2 and Titanium grade 5 material using ASTM G-99 standard at room temperature in simulated body fluid. The tribological property such as the weight loss was studied by using the Taguchi design of experiments. The design of experiment was done using an L18 orthogonal array. An analysis of variance demonstrated that the individual contribution such as the applied normal load factor was 91.17% for weight loss, which means it is highest individual contribution as compared to other factors so it was concluded that weight loss is mainly influenced by the applied normal load. The analysis of the signal to noise ratio shows that the optimal weight loss was obtained with titanium grade 5 material at an applied normal load of 5 N with sliding velocity 0.05 m/s for sliding distance of 100 m. The results showed that weight loss increases with increasing the applied normal load and sliding velocity. The microstructure of all substrate materials was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. Wear track study showed that adhesive dominant wear mechanism for both the grades.
