Цель настоящего исследования заключается в анализе средств стилистического синтаксиса в художественном произведении. Методы исследования включают наблюдение, описание, статистический метод, структурно-семантический анализ, структурно-грамматический анализ, функциональный анализ, метод сплошной выборки. Материал исследования — роман современного австралийского писателя Маркуса Зусака «Я — посланник» (“The Messenger”). Результаты исследования показывают, что стилистический синтаксис характеризуется такими фигурами речи, как эпифора, повтор, параллелизм, анадиплосис, обрамление, парцелляция. В работе описано явление парцелляции и выполняемые ею функции. В результате эмпирического анализа выявлено, что парцелляция выполняет характерологическую функцию (является особенностью образа мышления персонажа); экспрессивно-грамматическую функцию (пояснение и уточнение) и эмоционально-выделительную функцию (усиление эмоционального воздействия).
САКРАЛЬНЫЕ ОБРАЗЫ СЕМЕЙНОГО БЫТА В ТВОРЧЕСТВЕ И. С. ШМЕЛЕВА И Н. В. ГОГОЛЯ (НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЙ «ЛЕТО ГОСПОДНЕ» И «СТАРОСВЕТСКИЕ ПОМЕЩИКИ»)

Published: December 2024

В статье исследуются реализация концепта «сакральное» в бытовом пространстве повестей Н. В. Гоголя и И. С. Шмелева, его интерпретация в художественном мире обоих писателей, а также аксиологическое обоснование сакрализации материального мира в данных произведениях. В работе отмечается схожий взгляд писателей на гармонию материального и духовного мира, единство бытового и бытийного начал, а также внимание авторов к тайным и сокровенным смыслам повседневной жизни героев. Отдельно выделяется мотив вторжения темных и зловещих сил, противопоставляемых замкнутому сакральному пространству в текстах повестей, образующих ключевую онтологическую оппозицию «зло — добро». Особое внимание уделяется символическому значению бытовых образов и духовному контексту авторского изображения домашнего уклада, кулинарной культуры и повседневной жизни.

Исходя из обзора внушительного количества разнообразных и нередко противоречивых точек зрения, содержащихся в трудах переводоведов, авторы рецензируемой монографии представляют целостную теорию апории «переводимости – непереводимости» и обосновывают важность создания объединяющей парадигмы, способной сочетать в себе положительные стороны современных моделей перевода.
В качестве таковой предлагается дискурсивно-игровая парадигма перевода, парадоксальность которой находит отражение в «шкале уровней переводимости». Рас-суждения авторов строятся на базе разработанного ранее «когнитивно-герменевтического методологического стандарта», представляющего собой четырехступенчатую матрицу, включающую когниции предпонимания, понимания, интерпретации и переводческого решения, что дает возможность осуществлять раз-личные виды межъязыкового посредничества.

Published: December 2024

The objective of this survey is to assess the incidence of root canal treatment in specific teeth and its association with the patient's gender and age.

A popular dental operation called root canal therapy (RCT) is used to preserve teeth with damaged or infected pulp. Anterior and posterior teeth have different incidences of RCT due to variations in tooth structure, function, and decay susceptibility. Age and gender can also have an impact on the requirement for RCT, which emphasises how crucial it is to comprehend these trends for improved clinical care.

The data for the present study was retrieved from the records of the dental department. Data of 2275 patients, out of which 797 were males and 1478 were females. The inclusion criteria for this study consisted of data from patients with teeth that had undergone endodontic treatment. Data collected included age, gender, and the specific tooth number that received endodontic treatment. Data was analyzed using a computer software program, SPSS 20.

In this study, the majority of patients receiving endodontic treatment were between the ages of 31 to 40, accounting for 36% of the cases. The mandibular first molar was the most commonly treated tooth for root canal procedures, followed by the mandibular second molar. When gender and tooth count were correlated, the mandibular first molar underwent root canal therapy the most frequently in both genders.

The majority of patients getting root canal therapy were females, with mandibular first molars being the most common teeth for both genders.

Aesthetic rehabilitation of combined le-fort and dentoalveolar fracture: A case report with 3 years follow
Authors: Saket Kumar , Singh Spriha
Published: December 2024

Maxillofacial trauma involving one or both dental arches is often seen in automobile crashes and requires a comprehensive surgical approach, involving hemodynamic assessment, wound evaluation, foreign body inspection, and nerve, vessel, or glandular duct involvement checks. Treatment may be staged depending on the injury type and patient’s age. Le Fort I fractures, a type of transverse fracture, affect the maxilla, palate, and pterygoid processes. Le Fort fractures, when coupled with dental trauma, present challenges for restoring function and aesthetics, especially for young patients.

Upper central incisors are commonly impacted due to their position and lack of lip support. Implant-supported bridges and crowns are preferred for restoring missing teeth, offering durable biological and mechanical benefits. Ideal implant placement is essential to ensure proper alignment and aesthetics, particularly in cases where bone structure is insufficient for straightforward positioning. For non-axial placements, angle-corrected abutments can mitigate the resulting biomechanical stresses, while implant-protected occlusion aids in long-term success.

This case report details the management of combined Le Fort and dentoalveolar fractures using a multidisciplinary approach. After fracture fixation, implants were non-axially positioned in the anterior maxilla and successfully loaded with angulated abutments, addressing both functional and aesthetic needs. Following three years of follow-up, the results showed no complications, with off-axis implants restored using angulated abutments fulfilling biomechanical and aesthetic requirements. Implants placed at varied angles were successfully integrated, aligning with the patient’s treatment preferences and available bone structure, thus minimizing the need for additional procedures like bone grafting and sinus lifts.

Published: December 2024

Healthcare professionals often face immense pressure and work-related stress, particularly in life-saving situations and when working with their clients. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a noticeable rise in burnout, exacerbated by increasing instances of violence against doctors. Forensic medicine, a demanding field that works closely with law enforcement, prosecution, and the judiciary, has received less attention in burnout studies.

The present study aims to assess the prevalence of burnout among qualified forensic medicine practitioners working at a tertiary care facility in South India. Additionally, it explores the common coping mechanisms these doctors use to manage stress.

An adapted version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and a semi-structured questionnaire were administered via Google Forms to assess burnout prevalence and coping mechanisms. Informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to data collection.

The study included ten forensic medicine practitioners registered with the Andhra Pradesh Medical Council, comprising eight males and two females, with an average age of 46.7 years and an average work experience of 9.3 years. The mean scores for the MBI domains in our study were as follows: Emotional Exhaustion (6.6 ± 2.9), Depersonalization (7.5 ± 4.45), and Personal Accomplishment (33.8 ± 8.6), indicating low, moderate, and moderate levels of burnout, respectively. However, when considered overall, there is no burnout among the participants.

The study finds that forensic medicine specialists exhibit low burnout scores, likely due to their engagement in extracurricular activities and strong support networks, including discussions with colleagues and family. These findings support the view that forensic doctors are mentally tough and emotionally resilient.

Published: December 2024

Identification is the process of determining a person's uniqueness, whether they are alive or dead. Skeletal remains contain an abundance of information which is helpful in determination of identity of an individual. This is an Analytical Cross-Sectional Study carried out on 45 adult male and 45 female cases that came for medico-legal autopsy at Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Dilshad Garden, and East Delhi with known sex and of any age from January 2021 to Aug 2022.The three measurements were taken for malleus bone i.e. Total length of malleus bone, the length of manubrium (handle) of malleus bone and Index of malleus bone. The bone was then measured by using digital vernier calipers of least count 0.001mm.

In this study, we found that length of malleus bone was range from 7.15mm to 8.83mm inMales (Mean±SD, 7.97± 0.433) whereas in females it range from 6.67mm to 8.29mm (Mean±SD, 7.73± 0.296).The Maximum length of Handle (5.41mm) of malleus bone was in Males (Mean±SD, 4.79 ± 0.297) whereas in Females the maximum length of handle of malleus bone observed was 5.29mm (Mean±SD, 4.54± 0.282).The Total length of Malleus bone, Handle of malleus and Malleus index were more is Male as compared to Female and which is found to be statistically significant (p=0.003), (p=0.001) and (p=0.019) respectively.

There is a clear-cut demarcation between the values of male and female bone and considered fairly good criteria in sex determination. The sexual dimorphism is most marked in the Total length of Malleus bone, Handle of malleus and Malleus index of Malleus bone, and there is a significant difference was observed.

Rozwijanie efektywnego słuchania w językach ojczystych i obcych w edukacji różnojęzycznej w klasach IV-VIII
Authors: Chyb-Winnicka Marta
Published: December 2024

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zweryfikowanie, czy w szkole podstawowej podczas nauki efektywnego słuchania realizowana jest koncepcja edukacji różnojęzycznej. W tym celu autorka poddaje analizie zapisy podstaw programowych języków polskiego, obcego nowożytnego, mniejszości narodowej, regionalnego – kaszubskiego. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że w szkole integracja treści nauczania związanych ze słuchaniem nie istnieje, zapisy podstaw programowych są chaotyczne i nie odzwierciedlają specyfiki percepcji tekstu mówionego. Nabycie jednej całościowej kompetencji słuchania w wielu językach wydaje się więc niemożliwe.

Interferencje językowe i kulturowe w nauczaniu języka polskiego jako obcego uchodźców wojennych z Ukrainy (wyniki badań ankietowych)
Authors: Szlachta Agnieszka , Flasiński Krzysztof
Published: December 2024

Anonimowe badania ankietowe przeprowadzono w czerwcu 2023 r. wśród uchodźców z Ukrainy, którzy uczestniczyli w intensywnym kursie języka polskiego, przygotowującym do podjęcia pracy. Grupa badana liczyła 89 osób. Wyniki badań wskazują, że wśród uczących się języka polskiego osób pochodzących z Ukrainy można zaobserwować silne interferencje zarówno na płaszczyźnie językowej, jak i kulturowej. Ankietowani zauważali liczne fonologiczne, leksykalne i gramatyczne zbieżności języka polskiego i ukraińskiego, a wysoka interkomprehensja sprzyjała kształceniu poszczególnych umiejętności, zwłaszcza – receptywnych. Kursanci podkreślali wiele wspólnych społeczno-kulturowych elementów. Ustalono również, że szybko osiągana komunikatywność może powodować przeszacowywanie własnych umiejętności językowych i kulturowych, a pojawiające się pułapki interferencyjne wpływają na zakłócenia komunikacji.

Authors: Ameliyah Ayu Rizky , Irwandy Irwandy , Rivai Fridawaty , Stang Stang , Arsyad Muhammad
Published: December 2024

Background: The global maternal mortality rate has increased annually. This study aimed to examine the role of emotional support and the social support theraphy on the experience of emergency caesarean deliveries.
Methods: The narrative study was conducted using scientific journal database sources from PubMed, Proquest, Ebsco, Science Direct, and Google Scholar from 2016 to 2023. After the articles were obtained, they were tabulated using an Excel table. Overall, 184 articles were identified based on the search titles. Ten articles focused on the influence of emotional support on patient experiences, and five articles focused on the influence of sociocultural atmosphere on patient experiences.
Results: The influence of emotional support and the socio-cultural atmosphere on emergency caesarean section patients is one strategy for reducing maternal mortality rates. The poor sociocultural atmosphere regarding cesarean delivery is still a hot issue in the community, and the lack of emotional support from health service providers can cause patient and family approval to be late in agreeing to informed consent for emergency cesarean care, which should be provided immediately.
Conclusion: There is a need for adequate emotional support in the form of empathy, interactive communication, presence and availability, motivation and hope, nonverbal communication, sense of humor, and ambient environment.

Authors: Zareivenovel Mojgan , Nemati-Anaraki Leila , Asadzandi Shadi
Published: December 2024

Background: We aimed to identify and classify barriers and facilitators of implementation of research finding in healthcare.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Articles were extracted from online databases. The initial search was implemented on Jun, 2022, and updated until end of 2023. Two independent reviewers screened, selected, and extracted the data. Data were synthesized using thematic analysis.
Results: Overall, 32 studies from 3,435 documents met the inclusion criteria. From which 60 barriers and 45 facilitators were identified. The main barriers and facilitators extracted were grouped into eight components: Organization, Collaboration to knowledge utilization, Researcher role, Methodology and technical aspect of research, Management, Cultural and social determinants, Training, and Government and community. Organizational barriers and facilitators were the most concerning with insufficient attention, methodology and technical aspects of research were salient barriers, and the other components had similar roles.
Conclusion: This study directly addresses a gap in implementing the research findings in organizations. The government would benefit from knowledge implementation with respect to evidence utilization. Additionally, implementation knowledge was not transferred to healthcare practice to a sufficient extent, thus restricting the systematic use of implementation knowledge in practice.

Lactococcus lactis D4 Restores Gut Microbiota Balance in Azoxymethane and Dextran Sulfate Sodium-induced Colorectal Cancer Rat Model
Authors: Suswita Rini , Rivai Muhammad Iqbal , Iqbal Muhammad , Irwan Irwan , Suchitra Avit
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC), with various bacterial species including Lactococcus lactis implicated in this process. However, there is a lack of studies reporting the specific effects of L. lactis on microbiota balance in the context of CRC, especially strain D4. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of L. lactis D4 administration on gut microbiota balance in a rat model of CRC.METHODS: This experimental study involved Sprague Dawley rats that were separated into untreated control (CO group), CRC-induced (CA group), and L. lactis D4-treated CRC-induced (LLD group). The CRC induction was performed by giving azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sulfate sodium (DDS). Gut microbiota profile was analyzed using next generation sequencing (NGS), and microbial community dynamics were assessed through alpha and beta diversity metrics.RESULTS: L. lactis D4 restored gut microbiota balance by regulating Firmicutes/Bacteroidota ratio, and changing the microbiota composition by increasing the number of bacteria from the phylum Actinobacteria and decreasing bacteria from the phylum Bacteroidota and Proteobacteria. Alpha diversity was reduced in the LLD group, suggesting a decreased bacterial diversity post-treatment, but more closely aligned with the CO group than the CA group. Beta diversity analysis showed that the microbial composition of the treated group was similar to the CO group, while the CA group exhibited a distinct microbiota profile, characterized by higher abundance of pathogenic bacteria and reducing beneficial microbial species.CONCLUSION: L. lactis D4 administration effectively modulates gut microbiota in CRC model, enhancing the presence of beneficial bacteria from the Firmicutes and Bacteroidota phylum while suppressing pathogenic species from the Proteobacteria phylum.KEYWORDS: colorectal cancer, gut microbiota, next generation sequencing, Lactococcus lactis D4

Politično-geografska in demografska protislovja vojne v Ukrajini
Authors: JOSIPOVIČ DAMIR
Published: December 2024

Današnji rusko-ukrajinski konflikt ima daljšo predzgodovino kot posledico geopolitične umestitve Ukrajine in Rusije v mednarodni prostor po razpadu Sovjetske zveze, ki je dosegla vrhunec z izbruhom prve vojne leta 2014, po kateri je Rusija enostransko anektirala polotok Krim. Notranja nasprotja v Ukrajini so se stopnjevala s konfliktom v Donbazu, kjer je bilo leta 2015 doseženo krhko premirje, a je izven kontrole osrednje oblasti ostala približno tretjina gosto poseljenega ukrajinskega Donbaza. 24. februarja 2022 je prišlo do nove, a tokrat mnogo širše vojne, ko se je v Ukrajino neposredno, s svojo vojsko in tehniko vmešala Rusija. Namen prispevka je prikazati ključne geopolitične, politično-geografske in demografske vzroke in ozadje za današnjo vojno. Prispevek zato analizira konstitucijo ukrajinske državnosti, jezikovno in etnično ter demografsko strukturo Ukrajine, s poudarkom na vzhodnem delu države. Osrednja teza prispevka je, da je današnja vojna predvsem posledica nerešenega ruskega narodnega vprašanja iz časov razpada Sovjetske zveze.

Published: December 2024

V agroživilski industriji smo priča inovacijam, ki jih poganjajo makro trendi, s poudarkom na trajnosti in vse večjem povpraševanju po beljakovinah. To je privedlo do razcveta področja, ki se ukvarja z implementacijo tehnologij reje insektov z namenom pridobivanja visokokakovostne krme za živali in iskanja naravnih in trajnostnih virov beljakovin. Priložnosti v tej panogi vključujejo trajnostne koristi, saj imajo žuželke visoko stopnjo pretvorbe hrane, za gojenje pa potrebujejo majhne površine in manj energije v primerjavi s preostalimi rejnimi živalmi. Uvedba tehnologij insektne biokonverzije lahko bistveno pripomore k zmanjšanju količine zavrženih organskih surovin. Robotika in avtomatizacija imata prav tako pomembno vlogo pri zagotavljanju doslednosti proizvodnih procesov. Enega največjih izzivov predstavljajo regulatorni okvirji, ki so, zaradi relativne novosti tega področja, večinoma neznani. Velik izziv ostaja tudi prenos tehnologij v večja, industrijska merila. Treba bo premagati različne ovire in poiskati inovativne rešitve, da bo krma iz žuželk postala učinkovit in trajnosten vir beljakovin.

Dabei wird für den Lebensbereich Wohnen die Priorität des nicht-institutionellen Wohnsettings betont. Im vorliegenden Artikel wird die Fragestellung untersucht, wie sich die Wohnangebote für Menschen mit Behinderung, deren Finanzierung und Nutzung in der Schweiz seit der Ratifizierung der UN-BRK entwickelt haben. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt dabei auf dem Wechsel zwischen der institutionellen und der privaten Wohnform. Die Analysen basieren auf Registerdaten des Bundes und der Kantone, Fallstudien und Interviews mit Expert:innen, insbesondere auch auf einer grossen Zahl von Interviews mit Expert:innen aus eigener Erfahrung. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Nutzung privater Wohnformen zugenommen hat. Neben der gleichwertigen Finanzierung von institutionellen und privaten Wohnformen tragen unter anderem Coaching- und Beratungsangebote zur Wahrnehmung von Wahlfreiheit bei.
Taxonomy of Patience in Sixteenth-century Florentine Political Thought
Authors: Czapińska-Bambara Marta
Published: December 2024

This article examines the concept of pazienza present in the writings of Machiavelli and Guicciardini. It turned out that it is closely related to key concepts for their considerations, such as Fortune, Time or Opportunity, and is classified and valued by them in social interaction within the political hierarchy. In Machiavelli, the term pazienza is an expression of patient enduring of an inconvenient situation, which should be assessed positively or negatively depending on who is patient and in what circumstances. In the context of social relations, Machiavelli perceives the effects of patience rather negatively, because for him it is mainly an expression of weakness, leading to or resulting from the loss of political position. For Guicciardini, patience means the ability to endure adversity, but also the ability to wait for the right moment to take action. Guicciardini emphasizes the ambivalent meaning of patience, which, on the one hand, is passive bearing of someone else’s will, and on the other, as an expression of understanding the situation, turns out to be necessary when concluding alliances, negotiations and conducting military activities, i.e. it is simply indispensable in socio-political life, because it promotes implementation of plans, but also limits the use of violence.
Dawne i współczesne nazwy seplenienia oraz określenia człowieka sepleniącego w języku polskim
Authors: Olma Marceli
Published: December 2024

Artykuł wpisuje się w nurt badań nad pochodzeniem i rozwojem polskiej terminologii stosowanej we współczesnej terapii i praktyce logopedycznej. Zostały w nim przywołane leksemy obcojęzyczne oraz formy rodzime używane w kontekście niewłaściwej realizacji głosek dentalizowanych. W przypadku pierwotnego czasownika szeplenić wskazana została jego etymologia, historyczny rozwój oraz wariantywność fonetyczna. Przywołano również poświadczone w tekstach dawnych oraz w gwarach derywaty słowotwórcze wskazujące zarówno na wadliwą wymowę spółgłosek, jak i na osoby, które taka wymowa charakteryzuje. Dopełnienie tych uwag stanowią informacje z zakresu współczesnej antroponimii rejestrującej nazwiska motywowane przez dawne określenia o charakterze przezwiskowym (Sze­pioła, Szepielak, Sepielak i inne).
Ocena funkcjonowania językowego dzieci i młodzieży z mózgowymi malformacjami tętniczo‑żylnymi. Badania własne
Authors: Kurowska Marlena
Published: December 2024

W artykule opisano proces diagnozy logopedycznej siedmiorga dzieci w wieku od 9 do 14 lat (jednej dziewczynki, sześciu chłopców) z mózgowymi malformacjami tętniczo‑żylnymi. U każdego dziecka został przeprowadzony zabieg neurochirurgiczny. Grupa badawcza była niewielka i zróżnicowana pod względem wieku. W takich jednak przypadkach dzieci trafiają do szpitala w sposób losowy. Doniesienie z badań ma postać studiów przypadku. Dokonano przede wszystkim jakościowej analizy wyników. Celem badania był opis charakterystycznych objawów językowych i pozajęzykowych w zależności od lokalizacji uszkodzenia, wieku i ręczności dziecka. Autorka chciała się dowiedzieć, czy u badanych pacjentów będzie można zaobserwować trudności w komunikacji werbalnej. U dzieci przeprowadzono kliniczne próby eksperymentalne sprawdzające: wypowiadanie i rozumienie struktur językowych o różnym poziomie złożoności oraz podstawy biopsychiczne opanowania języka.

Professor Włodzimierz Nykiel celebrated his seventieth birthday in 2021. This is a perfect opportunity to thank the Jubilarian for his scientific and academic activities to date. The Editors of this jubilee book – Professor’s long-term associates at the Tax Law Department of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Lodz, the Centre of Tax Documentation and Studies and the Foundation Centre of Tax Documentation and Studies – also have their own personal reasons to be grateful to the Jubilarian.
The scientific and academic biography of Professor Włodzimierz Nykiel is very rich, and international cooperation is an extremely important element thereof. The Jubilarian has always highly valued contacts with other centers and scientific circles, which allowed to build an international reputation of the Lodz school of tax law including the Tax Law Department and the Centre. For these reasons, as the Editors of the book, we decided that it should be divided into two volumes. The authors of the first part are eminent representatives of the Polish tax and financial law academia and practice. The second volume consists of studies prepared by foreign friends and colleagues of the Jubilarian – outstanding representatives of tax law academia and practice from other countries.
The book was born in turbulent times: of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, just beyond Poland’s eastern border. Although most of the texts were submitted in 2021, editorial and publishing works could not be completed before the Professor’s seventieth birthday, therefore some of the observations made by the Authors may have slightly lost their topicality. In the meantime, the Professor’s seventieth birthday (December 2021) coincided with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Centre of Tax Documentation and Studies, founded and headed by the Professor (December 2022), and the fiftieth scientific work anniversary of the Professor (October 2023).
We hope that this book, finally submitted for printing in 2023 and thus associated with three jubilees important for Professor Nykiel, will be a source of scientific inspirations for its Readers.

Release from the Pressure of the EU Competition Law
Authors: Deák Dániel
Published: December 2024

What follows is to share some thoughts on how the Member States’ tax law has developed and may develop in the future in an EU environment where special sectoral taxes are accepted. Tax law considerations are increasingly subordinated to the interests of the freedom of global capital markets. Flexibility is needed in changing market conditions, but such a development makes it difficult to enforce legal certainty, which is a crucial feature of tax law. The resilience of regulators is meaningful in economics, but it can hardly be coordinated with a legal system’s stability. Concerning progressive taxes on turnover, for the time being, defenders of nation-state sovereignty seem to gain against those who want to open European capital markets and further harmonise the relevant regulations to remove administrative barriers from the freedom of capital. However, the future tells us how much national tax law systems can preserve their cohesion in the EU, an integral part of the global economy.
The Importance of the Tax System for the Rule of Law. The Dutch Childcare Allowance Scandal as an Example of a Violation of the Rule of Law in a Constitutional Democracy
Authors: Essers Peter
Published: December 2024

If a tax system does not respect the rule of law and the government acts as an omnipotent ruler, innocent citizens will be the first victims as they are not in an equal position with the bureaucrats representing this government. This can even happen in modern states that embrace the modern principles of democracy and the rule of law. In this contribution this is illustrated with a recent example in the Netherlands with respect to the system of childcare allowances for parents. This system, executed by the Dutch tax administration, has brought about 26,000 parents into huge problems since they had to pay back large sums of received allowances because of presumed offences. This not only led to big financial problems for these parents, combined with seizures, also all kinds of personal problems like divorces and illnesses resulted from this. As turned out later, most of these parents had been wrongly accused. Because the executive tax officers had to follow the wording of the law, there was no place for a policy of leniency. As a result, the least imperfection on the part of the parents in applying for the childcare allowances led to the obligation to pay back the full amount of these allowances received in advance (the “all or nothing” policy). In 2021, the Dutch government resigned because of this scandal.
Specifics of Tax Law Drafting on Selected Issues from the Czech Republic
Authors: Radvan Michal
Published: December 2024

The contribution is dealing with some of the specifics of tax law drafting. It aims to show some problematic issues connected with tax law drafting in the Czech Republic in the last two decades and clarify tax law drafting principles. To achieve the objectives, it defines tax law drafting principles and sums up if the Czech legislator follows them. In gives many examples and describes and critically analyzes the institutes affected by the ignorance of these principles. It is possible to conclude that there is no need to clarify the principles of tax law drafting. To achieve a good quality of tax law, it seems to be enough to follow the principles. The practice should be changed mainly in several areas: 1. Fixed tax rates should be replaced by the percentage tax rates, or there should be specific rules in each act on how the tax rates should be changed with regard to inflation; 2. Vacatio legis for tax law must be incorporated, probably directly in the Constitution; 3. Some tax bills should be voted under so-called close rules, i.e., a “yes or no vote” without the possibility of introducing amendments.
Reflections on Separate Enterprise vs. Formulary Apportionment
Authors: Van Weeghel Stef
Published: December 2024

This contribution contains reflections on the international system for the taxation of business profits and puts the current discussion regarding the OECD Pillar One project in a historic context. The OECD transfer pricing guidelines imply that global formulary apportionment is to be rejected, but the Pillar One project in fact would introduce that system as an overlay to the existing separate enterprise method.
