This article deals with the results of technological tests of pressability (Erichsen's - IE index and capping - limit drawing ratio (LDR)). It also presents on which material parameter (ductility, strain hardening exponent, coefficient of normal anisotropy...) should be given more emphasis when choosing a steel sheet, if stretching stress (uniaxial tension, biaxial tension) dominates during the production of stampings, or if dominates the “pull-pressure” technique (pulling out from under the flange).

The article deals with the issue of verification of selected geometric characteristics of a special robot intended for the nuclear industry. The design of the robot is specific in that the robot works in both semi-automatic and manual mode. This leads to frequent collisions of some parts of the robot with fragmented equipment. Therefore, it was necessary to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the robot after its production and during its operation. Verification of the parameters of the robot after one year of operation was carried out in the controlled zone of the nuclear power plant, which was specific due to the presence of ionizing radiation. The methodology, technique and method of verification had to be adapted to this.

This paper deals with problems in determining surface roughness values. The process of determining surface roughness values is a relatively difficult task. In this process, it is necessary to set the measurement conditions, which have a huge impact on the measurement uncertainty, and neglecting this process can cause a complete degradation of the measurement and evaluation result. Certain changes in this process are defined by new standards that have been approved to guide this process. The development of the methodology is very necessary in this area in order to obtain reliable data on surface roughness values.

The publication verifies the theoretical possibilities of reducing production costs and production time for machine clamping jaws. The primary idea involves maintaining the design for conventional production while replacing the steel alloy 1.7225 with the ONYX plastic composite material reinforced with carbon fiber. The study was first verified computationally and then experimentally in industrial operations. The results of the study were recorded and carefully analyzed. The usability of the ONYX composite, in conjunction with carbon fiber, does not support its use in industrial operations. Although the rotary system was significantly lighter, the clamping elements exhibited relatively high elasticity values. Therefore, the results were unsatisfactory but highly beneficial for the practice and usability of plastic composites.

Published: November 2024

Micro-EDM drilling is extensively utilized in various industrial sectors due to its capability to machine all types of conductive materials, irrespective of their mechanical properties. This technology is particularly advantageous for drilling applications requiring high aspect ratios and precision. However, electrode wear, both frontal and radial, poses significant challenges, especially in blind hole drilling. This study proposes a mechanical method to measure electrode geometry through touch operations on a sharp target, varying the spindle rotation angle and Z depth. The method's effectiveness was validated through extensive experiments on Ti6Al4V plates using cylindrical and tubular electrodes of different diameters. The study varied energy types and tested new and steady-state electrodes. Results demonstrated the method's ability to detect changes in electrode tip shape under different conditions, revealing phenomena such as the correlation between electrode runout and wear, and the impact of internal washing on tip shape.

Rare plant species restoration (reintroduction) is one of the main biodiversity conservation activities. Reintroduced plants need constant monitoring in order to study features of their development and control the population state. To reduce the human impact on the natural habitat of plants and simplify the monitoring process, we propose the use of automatic analysis of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) data using the Yolov3 neural network. The article discusses neural network parameters for detecting Paeonia Tenuifolia, reintroduced in the Samara region by ecologists from the Department of Ecology, Botany and Nature Conservation of Samara University. The main issue under research is the possibility of training a neural network from peony images collected in an artificial habitat with a subsequent application to images collected in a natural habitat and the possibilities of using multi-temporal data to improve the network training quality. The experiments have shown that training a neural network exclusively using images collected in the natural habitat makes it possible to achieve a probability of correct detection of peonies of 0.93, while using data obtained at different years allows increasing the probability of correct detection to 0.95.

Authors: Mnguni Sandiso , Badenhorst Shaw , Bamford Marion Kathleen
Published: November 2024

A fossil thrips is described using a single compression fossil from an Upper Cretaceous deposit, the Orapa Diamond Mine in Botswana. It is the first record of a Cretaceous thrips from Africa. It is diagnosed by the following characteristics: general habitus; narrow, straplike forewing and hindwing with fringe cilia; with forewing becoming progressively larger in distal third; and abdomen with dense transversal rows of microtrichia and terminal setae. The specimen is complete, except that the antennae are absent. At Orapa, the fossil thrips would have been possibly found feeding on leaves, stem or flower tissues of both gymnosperms and angiosperms in and around the crater lake. The fossil thrips adds to the taxonomic diversity of the Orapa fauna. Moreover, it broadens the knowledge of the diversity, geography and evolution of Mesozoic Thysanoptera.
Mezopotamya Efsanelerinin Tevrat ve Kur’ân Kıssalarıyla Benzerliği Üzerine Yeni Bir Değerlendirme: Gılgamış Destanı ve Sargon Efsanesi Örnekleri
Authors: Gürkan Salime Leyla
Published: November 2024

19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren, Eski Yakın Doğu coğrafyasında önemli arkeolojik keşiflerin yapılması ve başta Gılgamış Destanı olmak üzere Sümer, Akad, Babil ve Asur geleneklerine ait çeşitli efsaneleri içeren tabletlerin gün yüzüne çıkarılmasıyla birlikte Mezopotamya efsanelerinin Tevrat hikayeleri ile benzerliği Batı akademisinde bilinir hale gelmiştir. Tevrat hikayeleri ile Mezopotamya efsaneleri arasındaki benzerlik konusunda Batı’da son iki asırda önemli çalışmalar ortaya konmuş ve bunların bir kısmı farklı ölçülerde Türkçe literatüre de aktarılmıştır. Zira Mezopotamya efsaneleri ile bariz benzerlik taşıyan söz konusu Tevrat hikayelerinin önemli bir kısmı, özellikle yaratılış ve Nuh tufanı anlatıları, peygamber kıssaları bağlamında Kur’ân’da da az veya çok farkla yer almaktadır. 20. yüzyıl başlarından itibaren Batı’da ortaya konan çalışmalardaki yaygın görüş, tıpkı Tevrat’tan ödünç alındığı kabul edilen Kur’ân kıssaları gibi Tevrat kıssalarının da orijinal anlatılar olmadığı, Mezopotamya efsanelerinden etkilenerek oluşturulduğu yönündedir. Zincirleme bir ödünç alma trafiği doğrultusunda daha önce tarih sahnesine çıkan geleneğin daima ödünç veren unsur, daha sonra tarih sahnesine çıkan geleneğin ise daima ödünç alan unsur kabul edildiği bu tek yönlü bakış açısının gerisinde, kronolojik ve kimi zaman da teolojik veya ideolojik olarak nitelendirebileceğimiz bir şartlanmanın yer aldığı görülmektedir. Bu arka plan ekseninde bu makalenin temel amacı Mezopotamya efsaneleri ile Tevrat kıssaları arasındaki bariz benzerlikle alakalı olarak mevcut çalışmalarda değinilmemiş bazı hususlara işaret etmek, aynı zamanda söz konusu metinler arasında her zaman tek yönlü değil kimi zaman karşılıklı etkinin olabileceğini belli örnekler üzerinden ortaya koymaktır. Bu bağlamda makalede Tevrat metni, Gılgamış Destanı ve Büyük Sargon efsaneleri üzerinden, Gılgamış-Enkidu ve Yakup-Esav çiftleri ile ilgili anlatılar, sepete konup nehre bırakılan ve mucizevi biçimde ölümden kurtularak bir kahraman haline gelen bebek anlatıları ve paralel tufan anlatıları inceleme konusu yapılmaktadır. Bu kapsamda konunun Kur’ân kıssaları ile bağlantısı da önem taşımaktadır. Makalenin bir diğer amacı da, suya bırakılan bebek ve tufan anlatıları üzerinden, Tevrat için muhtemel ve hatta kimi zaman kesin görünen etkileşimin Kur’ân kıssaları için de geçerli olup olmadığına, anlatılar arasındaki benzerliğin her zaman etki üzerinden açıklanıp açıklanamayacağına dair değerlendirmelerde bulunmaktır.

La literatura especializada en gestión del conocimiento ha abordado escasamente la capacidad de obtener información sistemática como un insumo que abastece la planificación en la educación superior, lo mismo que las dificultades que las universidades encuentran para obtener dicha información. Sin embargo, la tendencia creciente a realizar análisis acerca de los posibles escenarios futuros ha comenzado a proliferar como herramienta para analizar tensiones y desafíos.

En ese marco, el presente artículo se propone analizar los principales desafíos de la función investigación de la Universidad Nacional de La Matanza (UNLaM) a 2030 desde la perspectiva de la gestión del conocimiento. Para ello, se torna preciso describir el funcionamiento de la función investigación en la UNLaM y la misión asignada a esta, así como analizar las variables que, desde la perspectiva de los principales actores a cargo de dicha función, podrían incidir en la gestión de la producción del conocimiento científico a futuro. En esa línea, se utilizó un encuadre metodológico prospectivo nutrido tanto del análisis documental como de la mirada de quienes están a cargo de la formulación de políticas específicas en sus respectivos departamentos, quienes a su vez se encuentran bajo el encuadre transversal que determina la unidad central: la Secretaría de Ciencia y Tecnología. Esto configura un análisis desde y para la gestión universitaria.

De esa forma, el aporte que se busca realizar a través de este trabajo es doble. Por un lado, se espera contribuir con las discusiones del campo académico de ciencia, tecnología y sociedad; y, por otro lado, visibilizar aspectos centrales para la orientación de los tomadores de decisiones a cargo de la gestión del conocimiento científico en la UNLaM.

Authors: Gyger Helen
Published: November 2024

Este artículo explora la intersección entre la autoconstrucción dirigida y auxiliada y la cultura de la arquitectura moderna en los inicios de la formación profesional del arquitecto inglés John F. C. Turner, quien emergió como un prominente teórico de la autoconstrucción dirigida a inicios de la década de 1960. El foco de atención se centra en el desarrollo de Turner de una práctica arquitectural desde su llegada al Perú en 1957, por invitación el arquitecto y planificador Eduardo Neira. Turner pasó el siguiente par de años en Arequipa trabajando para la agencia gubernamental encargada de la regularización de las urbanizaciones populares. Estos años culminaron con un proyecto de prueba de la autoconstrucción dirigida iniciado luego del terremoto de 1958, que causó daños generalizados en las viviendas de Arequipa. El artículo explora cómo estas experiencias seminales de campo forjaron los futuros escritos teóricos de Turner.

Authors: Izzaty Rita Eka , Setiawati Farida Agus , Istikomah Fatonah
Published: November 2024

This study aimed to investigate the impact of gender on reasoning ability and mechanical aptitude, considering disparities across different educational levels. The research involved 1,183 students aged 12 to 19 from Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The independent variables were educational levels (junior high school, senior/vocational high school, and higher education) and gender (male and female), while reasoning ability and mechanical aptitude scores were the dependent variables. Data were collected through the Differential Aptitude Test's reasoning and mechanical sub-tests, which demonstrated high-reliability coefficients. Statistical analyses included ANOVA and independent t-tests. The findings show that gender significantly influences reasoning ability and mechanical aptitude, with male students outperforming females. However, no notable differences were observed between senior/vocational high school students and college/university students. This study contributes valuable insights to the existing literature on cognitive skills, particularly concerning the impact of gender and educational levels, which can inform educational strategies and career development initiatives.

Authors: Sopian Asep , Sanusi Anwar , Nurkomala Rima
Published: November 2024

In the industrial revolution era, good teaching and learning processes should integrate the transfer of knowledge and values as a solid foundation for building students’ character. This research is a descriptive case study; the data were collected using observations and interviews before they were analyzed using an interactive model proposed by Miles & Huberman (1994). The result shows that Arabic teaching and learning is a befitting school subject that instills character values. Furthermore, character building can be seen in the planning, implementing, and evaluating Arabic teaching and learning processes. However, obstacles to its processes still exist, including the lack of coordination between parents and educators in the Islamic boarding school environment. Its supporting factors were also found, including a supportive curriculum, positive habituation, support for adequate facilities and infrastructure, and various programs organized by the Islamic boarding school regarding building the student character.

This study uses innovative Augmented Reality Technology to analyze a new model design of Quranic reflection through learning Arabic vocabulary for adult learners with hearing impairments. Learning the Arabic vocabulary contained in the Al-Quran and understanding its meaning will facilitate the process of reading, understanding, memorizing, and practicing it. Nevertheless, Tadabbur Al-Quran, through a vocabulary approach based on Augmented Reality Technology for deaf adult learners, has still not been researched and developed. Therefore, a new model should be well-designed and appropriate to their needs and preferred learning styles. This study uses the needs analysis model of Hutchinson and Waters, 1987 which consists of Lacks, Needs, and Wants to collect data. The study findings show that most respondents do not know the Arabic vocabulary in Juz 30 related to humans, animals, plants, and other natural creations and phenomena. In addition, most of them agreed to learn the Arabic language in Juz 30 with the help of AR technology. This study will provide a practical learning experience for adult learners with hearing impairments using Augmented Reality Technology.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to identify the perceptions of Arabic language students and teachers about using literary texts in the study of Arabic Syntax. To achieve the research objectives, the researcher relied on the analytical approach with the qualitative approach, which collected data using semi-structured interviews with eight students specializing in Arabic and four Arabic language teachers at Perlis Islamic University College (KUIPs) Malaysia. The audio data is transferred to the written text and encoded manually. One of the most important findings of the research is that the students agreed that the employment of literary texts in the study of Arabic grammar helps them practice the language daily through the methods used and master the Arabic grammar by parsing words correctly, and this differs from using ordinary texts because they did not feel enthusiastic and fun while studying Arabic Syntax. Teachers also agreed that employing literary texts in the process of teaching Arabic Syntax helps students to know the correct style of Arabic, as most of the literary language is an eloquent language, and that employing literary texts with examples selected from prose texts and poetic texts, all of which are familiar and usual for students specializing in Arabic language and literature. Based on this, teachers should pay attention to choosing appropriate literary materials, such as short stories, when teaching Arabic Syntax to ensure that students understand the rules better and practice them on the ground.
Linguistic, Aesthetic And Cultural Aspects Of Translating Literary Texts (Arabic-English): A Model For Translation Pedagogy
Authors: Elewa Abdelhamid
Published: November 2024

The main aim of this paper is to explore the different linguistic, aesthetic, and cultural aspects of literary translation. The paper examines the various features of literary translation at both macro and micro levels. It focuses on those features of literary texts that are characteristic of literary works. First, we follow the standard linguistic paradigm in the discussion of literary translation, including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and the aesthetic and cultural features of literary texts. The qualitative method is used to explore the various features of literary translation to identify the recurring linguistic and literary devices lacking systematic forms and patterns to find a comparable genre-specific form in the target language. The model proposed consists of five stages: (1) Retention of sound devices, (2) Retention of syntactic patterns, (3) Retention of semantic features, (4) Retention of figurative language, and (5) Retention of the cultural aspects. The model is a descriptive model for analyzing literary translation procedures and can be used as a pedagogical model for translation practice. Findings show that employing this model would offer translation students new insights to describe challenging linguistic, aesthetic, and cultural features in the source texts to think of some practical solutions for translating literary works.

Linguistic Characteristics In The Research Background And Problem Statement In The Doctoral Thesis Of Arabic EFL Students In Malaysia
Authors: Al Jarrah Monther , A Kadhim Kais
Published: November 2024

This study explores the linguistic features within the move structures of the research background and problem statement sections in Chapter One of PhD theses written by Arab students in Malaysia. The analysis focuses on four key language elements: verb tense, modality, voice (active and passive), and personal pronouns. A corpus of 30 theses was analyzed to determine common linguistic patterns, revealing significant insights into the language choices of these academic writers. The study employs concordance and hand-tagged analysis to examine verb tense and voice, with manual verification for modality and personal pronouns to ensure accuracy. Eight distinct verb tenses were identified, with the present simple tense being the most frequently used, representing 55.30% of the total instances. This indicates a preference for focusing on current knowledge and ongoing research. In contrast, the past simple and future simple tenses were used to describe past methodologies and future implications, respectively. Modal auxiliaries play a crucial role in conveying sentiments and opinions. The study identified seven modal verbs, with 'can' being the most commonly used, suggesting a focus on possibility over obligation. The analysis of voice patterns revealed a higher occurrence of active voice (79.66%), especially in moves that conveyed up-to-date knowledge. In contrast, passive voice was more common in methodological descriptions, indicating a focus on the actions or subjects rather than the actors. The study also examined the usage of personal pronouns, finding a higher frequency of third-person pronouns, suggesting a more objective narrative style. These findings offer valuable insights into the linguistic choices of Arab EFL students in academic writing, providing a deeper understanding of their communicative intentions and alignment with academic discourse conventions. The results can guide future research on linguistic patterns in academic writing and help educators support EFL students in improving their writing skills.
Motivations Behind Dreams: Its Linguistic Concept And Behavioral Impact
Authors: Kassem Mohmad Omar Abou Al-Majd Hussain
Published: November 2024

Dreams are a precious window into the human soul, where all the waves of minds, emotions, and cultures are concentrated. On this basis, this study deals with phenomena that affect general human consciousness and even the daily life of Arab students. Therefore, this study used the scientific and professional literature on dreams to identify their relationship to Arab students' engagement in dreaming during sleep and wakefulness and how this influences dream content. The sample for this study is selected from among the undergraduate students of Prince Sattam University, Al-Kharj, after obtaining approval from the university ethics committee. The sample was selected from male and female college students, including the College of Education and Business Administration. A total of 79 students participated in the study. The participants were men and women. The structured questionnaire consists of several derived sleep components, including dream motivation, dream recall, and the effects of dreams on behavior. The researcher obtained a correlation coefficient, proving that the questionnaire's scale and internal consistency are very high for these items. Most dreams were forgotten, and reports of these dreams reflected waking experiences in particular. Based on this data, the researcher concluded that "students' dreams had little impact on academic and general decisions," meaning that dreams did not have much impact on students.

Contractual Liability and Compensation for Moral Harm
Authors: Dacoronia Eugenia
Published: November 2024

In Greece, the breach of contractual obligation is in principle disapproved by law, it crea­tes, however, only an obligation for the payment of compensation and not an additional obligation for the restoration of moral harm, because the sole non-performance of the contractual obligations cannot cause moral harm. Consequently, according to the Greek legislator, a possibility for the existence of a relevant pecuniary compensation does not exist. Pecuniary compensation for non-pecuniary damage is exceptio­nally recognized and only in cases defined by law (Art. 299 GCC). For example, it is recognized in the cases of infringement of the personality (Arts. 57, 59 GCC) and of tort, especially for the person who suffered an attack upon his health, honour, or chastity or who was deprived of his liberty (Art. 932 GCC).
In case, however, the violation of the contractual obligation constitutes at the same time - and in­dependently from the existence of the contract - a tort, then it is settled case law in Greece that there is concurrence of contractual and delictual obligation. In that case, the provisions of tort (art. 914 ff. GCC) may apply, in which case, provided that moral harm is sustained, compensation for such moral harm may be sought. Deciding, however, whether the violation of the contractual obligation constitutes at the same time - and independently from the existence of the contract - a tort is not always easy.
The tendency noted in the international texts aiming at the unification of law in Europe is the res­toration of moral harm also in cases of breach of a contract. For example, art. 9:501 of the Principles of European Contract Law, PECL and art. 7.4.2 of the Unidroit Principles provide for the possibility of the contracting party to request the restoration of non-pecuniary damage in cases of unjustifiable breach of a contract. Thus, the override of the prohibition set in art. 299 GCC attempted by the Greek doctrine and jurisprudence through the provisions about personality protection and the application of art. 932 GCC, where there is concurrence of contractual and delictual liability, is justified and confirms that art. 299 GCC was rightly criticized almost unanimously by the Greek doctrine already since its introduction as against the tradition of Greek Law and due to the non-lenient situations it causes.

En 12 de las demandas relativas a decisiones de las autoridades noruegas en relación con la tutela de me-nores, los jueces de Estrasburgo fallaron por unanimidad que eran inadmisibles porque la interferencia en el derecho de los padres estaba debidamente motivada por las autoridades y los tribunales internos a causa del abandono y/o malos tratos. Las cuestiones controvertidas incluían además los derechos de visita, las órdenes de acogida y la adopción. En general, no había habido deficiencias en el proceso de toma de decisiones. Se desestimaron las solicitudes por considerarlas manifiestamente infundadas, considerando que los hechos no tenían ningún parecido con otros casos contra Noruega en los que se habían encontrado violaciones. Como contraste en 9 de las demandas, el Tribunal decidió que sí que se había dado una violación del Artículo 8 del Convenio, derecho al respeto de su vida privada y familiar. Concluyó que los hechos no diferían de casos anteriores en los que había habido una violación del Convenio Europeo.
El significativo impacto de la normativa y jurisprudencia europeas más recientes en materia de derechos fundamentales de los trabajadores en España
Authors: García Salas Ana Isabel
Published: November 2024

Cuando nos referimos al impacto del derecho europeo sobre nuestro sistema interno de derechos fundamentales, aún solo en un ámbito como el laboral, pudiera pensarse que el tema propuesto es de contenido inabarcable para un trabajo de extensión tan limitada. Sin embargo, será suficiente con aproximarnos a algunos de los casos y derechos que se han visto afectados de manera más acusada en los últimos tiempos, y que exhiben, más allá de la obligada sumisión al Derecho emanado de las instituciones europeas, una suerte de interacción y de reciprocidad entre ambos ordenamientos. Se demuestra así que la influencia europea no tiene por qué ser un elemento externo o extraño, sino que converge en un mismo rango de valores, principios y reglas, naturalmente asumibles por Estados, como España, cuya europeidad se encuentra en su propia esencia.
Ley nacional aplicable a las operaciones bursátiles
Authors: García-Pita y Lastres José Luis
Published: November 2024

El Derecho mercantil nació impregnado de internacionalidad y, aunque durante un tiempo perdió esa condición, luego hubo de recuperarla, pues la ruptura de la originaria internacionalidad del Derecho mercantil coincidió con una ulterior reactivación del tráfico mercantil internacional, unida a la preponderancia de los países económicamente más poderosos. El resurgir de un floreciente y activo tráfico económico internacional, basado en el “reconocimiento de la interdependencia humana”, enfrenta a los comerciantes y empresarios, a los Estados y al público de los consumidores y de los inversores con varios fenómenos de importancia: por una parte, con el fenómeno de las llamadas sociedades multinacionales, y –por otra- con el fenómeno de la contratación internacional.Pues bien; si lo característico del Derecho como sistema de normas es que atañe a las personas, precisamente en el contexto de sus relaciones sociales y si ese contexto se define en términos de lugar y tiempo, debemos incluir, también, en el ámbito material de validez de esta afirmación, al Derecho Bursátil y del Mercado de Valores, que -igualmente- ha de preocuparse por cuestiones como el ámbito y situación de los mercados, y por reglas o principios como la “locus regit actum” y “tempus regit actum”, o la “lex loci delicti”, o el “forum rei” y el “fórum rei sitae”, etc., dado que la creciente globalización de los mercados financieros se manifiesta en la internacionalización de las operaciones sobre valores negociables e instrumentos financieros.El reconocimiento de la libertad de movimiento de capitales trae consigo “la admisión a cotización oficial en las Bolsas de los Estados miembros de valores mobiliarios emitidos por empresas” extranjeras, constituye una “modalidad importante de acceso a estos mercados de capitales” de otros países. Así; teniendo en cuenta la evidente internacionalidad de la operativa de los mercados de capitales y del Derecho del Mercado de Valores, es obvio que buena parte de sus fuentes serán de carácter internacional, bien porque se trate de normas de Derecho internacional convencional, bien porque la complejidad que es propia de las relaciones que se traban en el Derecho mercantil en todas sus ramas y -en concreto- del Derecho bursátil y de los mercados de valores, determina la necesidad de que entre en juego el Derecho internacional privado y -más precisamente- el Derecho conflictual, de manera que, como consecuencia de la aplicación de una norma de conflicto se haya producido la determinación de la aplicabilidad de una determinada Ley nacional.
Anti-arbitration injunction y Ley de Cooperación Jurídica Internacional
Authors: Gómez Jene Miguel
Published: November 2024

De forma todavía reciente, un Juzgado de Primera Instancia de Madrid ha rechazado el reconocimiento en España de una Anti-arbitration injunction dictada por un tercer Estado (un Estado no miembro de la UE). Se trata de la primera resolución judicial española que aborda directamente tan con-trovertida cuestión. Pese a que la resolución es ciertamente escueta, merece la pena aprovechar la ocasión para plantearse con cierto detenimiento y en abstracto si este tipo de medidas o de resoluciones judiciales son o no reconocibles en España en aplicación de la Ley de Cooperación Jurídica Internacional.
Reflexiones en torno a una eventual codificación del Derecho internacional privado europeo
Authors: González Beilfuss Cristina
Published: November 2024

El trabajo analiza las posibilidades de una eventual codificación del Derecho internacional privado europeo partiendo de su carácter incompleto. Se identifican cuatro tipos de lagunas y se constata que el carácter incompleto es una característica estructural y no una situación transitoria lo que conduce a explorar una versión renovada de “código” para mejorar el acceso al Derecho mediante una racionalización y sistematización de las fuentes.
La Sección 10 de los Acuerdos Artemisa (sobre los recursos naturales del espacio, la luna y demás cuerpos celestes)
Authors: Gutiérrez  Espada Cesáreo
Published: November 2024

Los Acuerdos Artemisa impulsados por los Estados Unidos se firman en 2020 por un grupo de Estados que ha ido creciendo hasta alcanzar (con Grecia en 2024) el número de 34. Una de sus cuestiones más relevantes se refiere al tema de la explotación de los recursos naturales del espacio mismo y de la Luna y demás cuerpos celestes. En esta cuestión, es objetivo último de los Acuerdos conseguir la legalidad de la extracción de los recursos naturales de la Luna.El éxito de estos textos entre los Estados conduce a pensar que, si no ya mismo, sí en un futuro próximo el principio de la legalidad de extraer los recursos naturales del espacio podría ser una realidad.La tesis de este trabajo defiende la conveniencia de que el tema se valore y resuelva en el seno de los órganos de Naciones Unidas sobre Derecho del Espacio.

La delimitación judicial de la inmunidad de jurisdicción en el orden social
Authors: Juárez Pérez Pilar
Published: November 2024

De arraigada tradición y dilatada historia jurídica, la figura de la inmunidad de jurisdicción ha sido objeto de una notable evolución legislativa y jurisprudencial, que ha tratado de adaptar esta institución a los cambios en la concepción de la soberanía estatal y las relaciones jurídico-privadas han experimentado los Estados a lo largo de los años. Esta evolución se refleja con especial claridad en el ámbito de las relaciones derivadas del contrato internacional de trabajo, donde a menudo los Estados han interpretado la inmunidad con una censurable amplitud, como táctica de blindaje frente a las demandas de sus trabajadores. En este escenario, la jurisprudencia española ha desarrollado una labor tan compleja como necesaria, que posee un doble mérito: combatir esta práctica abusiva y clarificar la mejorable regulación española en materia de inmunidad de jurisdicción y contrato individual de trabajo.
El plazo de prescripción de las acciones por daños y perjuicios derivadas de incumplimientos del Derecho de la competencia tras la Sentencia Heureka, Comentario a la STJUE de 18 de abril de 2024, Heureka C 605/21 ECLI:EU:C:2024:324
Authors: Kersting Christian
Published: November 2024

En una serie de sentencias, el TJUE ha desarrollado la jurisprudencia sobre los plazos de prescripción de las acciones por daños y perjuicios en materia de defensa de la competencia. La sentencia Heureka, da un paso más, explicando no sólo la determinación de la ley aplicable en lo que respecta al ámbito de aplicación temporal de las normas sobre los plazos de prescripción sino también los requisitos del Derecho Originario. Éstos coinciden en gran medida con los requisitos de la Directiva sobre daños y perjuicios por infracciones del Derecho de la Competencia. Por último, son de gran importancia las explicaciones sobre la adquisición del conocimiento a partir de la publicación del resumen de las decisiones de la Comisión en el Diario Oficial, que también permiten extraer conclusiones para acciones stand alone. También resulta evidente, que en particular el requisito del conocimiento del hecho de la conducta del demandado constituye una infracción está sujeto a condiciones más estrictas.
