Authors: Романова Ольга В.
Published: October 2023

Концепція «європейської ідентичності» у сфері зовнішньої політики й політики безпеки посіла особливе місце, як у рамках європейського інтеграційного процесу, так і у всій системі міжнародних відносин. Становлення ЄС як світового економічного центру вимагало відповідного посилення і його політичної ролі на міжнародній арені, зокрема й у сфері гарантування безпеки в Європі. Периферія ЄС разом з цим виділилася як пріоритетний регіон застосування Спільної зовнішньої та безпекової політики (СЗБП), основна мета якої полягала в підтримці з країнами-сусідами ЄС відносин, спрямованих на досягнення стабільності та правопорядку.

Published: October 2023

Територія КНР сягає 5.5 тис. кв км. Від русла річки Хейлунцзян (53 градуси 30 хвилин північної широти) на північ від міста Мохе до коралових рифів Цзенмуаньша (4 градуси північної широти) до південного краю архіпелагу Наньшацзюньдао, територія Китай охоплює понад 49 градусів північної широти. По широті територія Китаю тягнеться на 5 тис. км від місця злиття річок Хейлунцзян і Усуліцзян (135 градусів 05 хвилин східної довготи) до західного кордону Паміру (73 градусів 40 хвилин східної довготи), що простягається на понад 60 градусів східної довготи. Протяжність сухопутного кордону країни — 22,8 тис. км. На сході Китай межує з КНДР, на півночі — з Монгольською Народною Республікою, на північному сході — з Росією, на північному заході — з Казахстаном, Киргизстаном, Таджикистаном, на заході та південному заході — з Афганістаном, Пакистаном, Індією, Непалом, Бутаном та іншими країнами, Півдні — з Бірмою, Лаосом, В’єтнамом. На схід та південний схід від Китай має морський кордон з Республікою Кореєю, Японією, Філіппінами, Брунеєм, Малайзією та Індонезією.
Відносини КНР із країнами-сусідами мають дуже різний характер, мають місце багаточисленні територіальні конфлікти та непорозуміння. Відтак, для аналізу стосунків Пекіна з сусідами вплив питання кордонів має вкрай важливе значення.
Для аналізу проблеми автором було розглянуто декілька варіантів функціонування кордонів КНР із сусідами — перш за все, сухопутних, із республіками Центральної Азії та з Індією, та морських — у Південно-Китайському морі.
STRENGTHENING THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE SPECIALIZED ANTI-CORRUPTION PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE IN UKRAINE: CURRENT TRENDS
Authors: Stefanchuk M. M.
Published: October 2023

The article highlights some current trends in strengthening the independence of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office in Ukraine. It is stated that one of the main current challenges that necessitate further reform of its legal status is the international obligations assumed by Ukraine to further strengthen the fight against corruption as a prerequisite for its European integration.
The purpose of the article is to identify the current trends in reforming the legal status of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office with a view to strengthening its independence, and the prerequisites which determine them, and to present the author’s own vision of their further development.
It is established that the current trends in reforming the legal status of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office include: its institutional positioning as one of the elements of the system of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine, outside the unified system of prosecution bodies; weakening of the role of prosecutor’s self-government bodies in the process of forming its personal staff in favor of expanding the powers of the Prosecutor General; establishing of a separate body to conduct disciplinary proceedings against prosecutors of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office; vesting significant powers in the procedures for forming its staff, the staff of the commission for external independent assessment (audit) of the effectiveness of its activities, formation of the staff of the Specialized Disciplinary Commission of Prosecutors of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office with representatives of international and foreign organizations that provide Ukraine with international technical assistance in the field of preventing and combating corruption in accordance with international or interstate agreements.
The perspective directions of development of the outlined processes are singled out: the expediency of regulating legal certainty in the issue of positioning of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office in the system of Public Prosecutor’s Office in Ukraine, taking into account the principle of its unity; the expediency of regulating compensatory mechanisms to overcome possible gaps in legislation in case of failure of representatives of international and foreign organizations to comply with the requirements of national legislation; inexpediency of establishing a separate body which will carry out disciplinary proceedings against prosecutors of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, given the risks of weakening the authority and credibility of the Qualification and Disciplinary Commission of Public Prosecutors, violating the principles of equality and justice in relation to other prosecutors who are subject to the jurisdiction of this body of prosecutor’s governance.

ZORA 153: Slovenščina v Torontu in okolici nekoč in danes
Authors: Kralj Tadej
Published: October 2023

V monografiji obravnavam slovenščino kot dediščinski jezik v slovenski skupnosti v Torontu. Njeni predstavniki so jo ob priseljevanju in kljub močni integraciji v državi gostiteljici ohranjali v družinskem okolju in v organizirani slovenski skupnosti ter jo prenašali na svoje potomce. Druga generacija, ki je zrasla v Kanadi, je bila vse do vstopa v šolo ves času v stiku s slovenščino in s tamkajšnjim slovenskim kulturnim življenjem, po vstopu v šolo pa je sporazumevanje v slovenščini postopoma zamenjalo sporazumevanje v angleščini. Še hitrejšo integracijo v širšo družbeno skupnost in izginjanje rabe slovenščine je opaziti pri tretji oz. četrti generaciji potomcev priseljencev. Zanimalo me je, ali in kako si predstavniki različnih generacij (prve, druge ter tretje in četrte) prizadevajo za ohranjanje slovenščine: s katerimi nameni in kako pogosto jo uporabljajo ter s kom, kdaj in v katerih okoliščinah se sporazumevajo v slovenščini. Ugotovil sem, da se v izbranem okolju med predstavniki prve in druge generacije slovenščina ohranja tako s sporazumevanjem v vsakdanji rabi (praktična raba jezika) kot tudi z rabo na kulturnih prireditvah (simbolična raba jezika). Raba slovenščine med predstavniki tretje in četrte generacije izginja, kljub temu da kanadska politika multikulturalizma spodbuja rabo dediščinskih jezikov.

Published: October 2023

Türkiye’de gün geçtikçe nüfusun artması ile birlikte araç sayısı da artmakta bu durum trafik kazalarında da artış yaşanmasına neden olmaktadır. Çalışmamızda Mersin ilinin ilçelerinde gerçekleşen trafik kazaları zaman, mekân ve zaman-mekân açısından analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada 2015-2021 yılları arasındaki trafik kaza verileri değerlendirilmiştir. Veriler trafik şube müdürlüğünden ve trafik kaza tutanaklarından yararlanılarak elde edilmiştir. Kazaların mekânsal analizlerinde, vaka toplam, nokta yoğunluk araçları ve Anselin Local Moran I araçları kullanılırken, zamansal analizlerde ise kazaların saat, gün, ay, mevsim ve yıllara göre dağılımları analiz edilmiştir. Zaman-mekân analizlerinde ise Uzay Zaman Küpü, Sıcak Nokta Analizi araçları kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, ArcGIS yazılımının 10.8 sürümü ve ArcGIS Pro yazılımının 2.5 sürümü ile değerlendirilmiştir. Trafik kazalarının en fazla görüldüğü ilçeler merkez ilçe olarak da bilinen Yenişehir ve Akdeniz’de görülmektedir. Nüfus yoğunluğunun da fazla olduğu ilçelerde kazaların da fazla görülmesi olağandır. Nüfuslanmanın yanı sıra sanayi bölgeleri, çevre şehirlerle ulaşım sağlanan otoyollar en fazla kazanın yaşandığı diğer alanlardır. Yıllara göre kazaların değerlendirilmesinde 2020 yılının en az kazaya sahip olan yıl olarak belirlenmesi, pandemi nedeniyle sokağa çıkma yasaklarının getirilmiş olmasıdır. Trafik kazaları en fazla bahar ve yaz mevsimlerinde görülürken en az kış mevsiminde görülmektedir. Mekânsal olarak kazaların en yoğun yaşandığı noktalar, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Bulvarı, Mersin-Antalya ve Mersin-Adana Yolu’dur.

Authors: Yuliandari Elly Yuliandari , Wijonarko Gugus , Amaliyah  , Mat Deli Mazzlida
Published: October 2023

Background: Consumers face both positive and negative impacts when buying a product for the first time. Existing studies emphasize the rational aspects in making decisions to buy cosmetics. Buying cosmetics will include liking the product (emotional aspect) and the good effects obtained from buying the product, in addition to rational considerations such as product safety (rational aspect). This study aims to determine the effect of cognitive and emotional orientation models in making decisions to buy cosmetics for the first time.
Objective: This study examines the rational and emotional aspects of buying a cosmetic product for the first time.
Method: This research involved 131 consumers who either bought cosmetics for the first time or a new product. Consumer age ranges were from 18 to 22 years. Respondents have used cosmetics for up to 3 years. Respondents were selected using accidental sampling.
Results: showed that rational and emotional considerations significantly contribute to purchasing decisions. Consumers not only consider the benefits of these cosmetics, but also pay attention to their feelings towards these products.
Conclusion: Consideration of emotional and rational aspects will influence purchasing decisions. The preferences and positive expectations consumers feel will be a more dominant factor than fear of risk. Producers need to communicate information that can make consumers happy in addition to product functions.

Possible role of features of the intestinal microbiome in patients with colorectal cancer as a cause of anastomotic leak
Authors: Kosareva P. V. , Konev R. A. , Godovalov A. P. , Sivakova L. V. , Samodelkin E. I.
Published: October 2023

Aim. Following the analysis of literature data, to determine significant factors of intestinal obstruction in patients with colorectal cancer.

Materials and methods. We analyzed 84 literature sources from the Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and PubMed databases, as well as open access articles on Google.

Results. The predominant causes of anastomotic leaks after operations for colorectal cancer are discussed, the role of the microbiome in the development of postoperative complications is analyzed. The intestinal microbiome of patients with colorectal cancer contains bacteria that are not normally found under physiological conditions. These bacteria contribute to the development of disease, suture failure after surgery for intestinal obstruction, and progression of carcinogenesis. This effect is due to the production of bacterial metabolites, the effect on the human immunity, and competition with obligate intestinal microflora. On the other hand, the use of drug therapy, including antibiotics, leads to mass death of obligate bacteria. Therefore, it is important to search for drugs and treatment methods that, if possible, do not have a significant negative impact on the microbiome, but are capable of destroying pathogenic microorganisms. The concept of Russian authors was proposed, which consists in the intraluminal use of rifaximin-α for the prevention of purulent and septic complications and anastomotic leaks during reconstructive surgeries on the distal colon.

Authors: Gorbatovskaya E. E. , Dyleva Ya. A. , Belik E. V. , Uchasova E. G. , Tarasov R. S. , Kashtalap V. V. , Gruzdeva O. V.
Published: October 2023

Aim. To evaluate the prevalence of leptin resistance (LR) and its clinical and prognostic value in association with metabolic disorders and features of the proinflammatory state in the hospital period of myocardial infarction.

Materials and methods. The study included 114 men diagnosed with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI). On day 1 and 12 of MI, the levels of leptin and leptin receptor were measured in patients, and the free leptin index (FLI) was calculated. Leptin resistance (LR) was recorded at leptin > 6.45 ng / ml and FLI > 25. A comparative analysis of clinical and anamnestic characteristics, biochemical parameters, and cardiovascular prognosis was carried out between patients with and without LR. Statistical data processing was carried out using the Statistica 10.0 software package and SPSS 17.0 for Windows.

Results. The prevalence of LR in the hospital period of MI was 64%. LR was associated with cardiovascular pathology in the family history, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity. The presence of LR was accompanied by a significant increase in the level of glucose, free fatty acids (FFA), and interleukin (IL)-6 on day 1 of MI and by a significant rise in insulin, C-peptide, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) throughout the hospital stay. Patients with LR were characterized by multi-vessel and more severe lesions of the coronary bed and were more often subject to early post-infarction angina, recurrent MI, rhythm and conduction disturbances during hospital stay for MI.

Conclusion. Patients with MI are characterized by high prevalence of LR during the hospital stay. LR is associated with cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic disorders, formation of insulin resistance, and increased proinflammatory and prothrombogenic factors. The identified features in the presence of LR probably contribute to the development of adverse cardiovascular events in the hospital period of MI.
Metabolic potential of gut microbiota in helminth infections as a way to achieve bronchial asthma control
Authors: Sokolova T. S. , Malchuk V. N. , Zaytseva A. D. , Fedorova O. S. , Karpova M. R.
Published: October 2023

The aim of the review was to analyze modern experimental studies and clinical trials aimed at assessing metabolic activity of gut microbiota in bronchial asthma (BA) and helminth infections.

Being one of the most common chronic heterogeneous respiratory diseases, bronchial asthma secures its place among global health problems of great socioeconomic importance. In recent years, a lot of data has been accumulated indicating that the state of gut microbiota is an important factor determining the state of human health and affecting immune mechanisms underlying the development of allergic diseases in childhood. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota is due not only to changes in its composition, but also to disturbances in its metabolism. In accordance with the “gut – lung axis” concept, maintaining healthy gut microbiota and correcting its disorders, including strategies aimed at activating synthesis of short-chain fatty acids in the intestine, may become a new way to prevent and treat chronic respiratory diseases in childhood. In turn, experimental and epidemiological studies have shown the immunomodulatory activity of helminths. It is assumed that their impact on the composition and function of gut microbiota is one of the mechanisms by which helminths influence the immune response of the host and the course of BA.

Authors: Muslimova E. F. , Popova V. O. , Rebrova T. Y. , Archakov E. A. , Batalov R. E. , Afanasiev S. A.
Published: October 2023

Hyperactivation of the sympathoadrenal system (SAS) leads to desensitization of β1-adrenergic receptors (β1-AR). This contributes to aggravation of myocardial contractile dysfunction and development of arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF). An indirect indicator of the viability of β1-AR is β-adrenergic receptor reactivity of erythrocyte membranes (β-ARM).

Aim. To evaluate β-ARM in patients with different forms of AF, including left (LAD) or right (RAD) atrial dilation.

Materials and methods. The sample included 38 patients, 65.8% of whom had paroxysmal AF, 21% had persistent AF, and 13.2% had long-standing persistent AF. All patients received surgical treatment for AF by radiofrequency ablation or cryoablation. LAD was detected in 39.4% of patients, RAD – in 34.2% of patients. Βeta-ARM was determined before treatment, as well as at 3 days and at 12 months after ablation.

Results. The groups of patients with different forms of AF, as well as patients with LAD / RAD and without it showed comparable values of β-ARM at different measurement periods. In the group of patients without LAD / RAD, β-ARM increased 3 days after ablation compared to β-ARM before the treatment (p = 0.002 / p = 0.004) and returned to the pre-treatment level after 3 months. At the same time, in the group of patients with LAD / RAD, β-ARM did not significantly change before the ablation and in different periods after it.

Conclusion. In patients with AF without LAD / RAD, we detected an increase in β-ARM 3 days after the ablation compared to the level before the treatment and a decrease in the intensity of SAS 3 months after the surgery. In the presence of LAD / RAD, no changes in the β-ARM were revealed.

The aim of this study was to better understand the colloidal phenomenon involved in the fining process and to determine how many polyphenols are impacted in this process. Different types and compositions of fining agent were used to fine the wine. Some of them were pure and based on animal proteins and plant proteins, while others comprised a mixture of different matter, like PVPP and plant proteins, or PVPP, plant proteins and bentonite. Before and after fining, five different analyses were performed on the wine to characterise the polyphenolic composition and content. In order to determine polyphenol loss more precisely during fining, a new method was developed to quantify and characterise polyphenol precipitate using fining agents. This new method allowed us to find some drastic differences between the fining agents in term of total polyphenol precipitation, as well as in the composition of the precipitated compounds. Indeed, a group of anthocyanins present in low levels in wine (i.e., p-coumaroylated anthocyanins) became the most represented in the fining precipitate. Similarly, differences were also observed between the fining agents in the composition of precipitated condensed tannins. Fining agents without PVPP did not precipitate monomeric or dimeric flavan-3-ol or crown tannins. Some differences were also observed between the fining agent composed of plant-derived protein and that comprising gelatin.

The working method of the study was an online questionnaire of academic specialists of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS) research institutes. Data collection took place in early 2023. The questionnaire consisted of 20 questions, divided into four thematic blocks: 1) the main science popularizers in Russia (researchers’ opinion); 2) participation of SB RAS research institutes in communication with society and the most important directions of this activity; 3) attitude of scientists to necessity of interaction with society aimed at popularization of science; 4) attitude of scientists to libraries as science and society communication participants including science popularization. Basing on the data obtained, Siberian scientists appear to be, in general, positive about libraries as popularizers of domestic science and technology achievements. However, they consider scientists themselves and media the main actors in this field, as well as scientific societies, research and educational institutions, museums and professional science communicators. A number of respondents noted low attendance of libraries, their archaic and closed nature, and lack of sufficient competence of library specialists to promote science at a high level. Nevertheless, most of the researchers highly appreciated library as a full-fledged science and society communication participant. Many SB RAS scientists have experience of cooperation with libraries, such as, for example, reading popular science lectures and preparing exhibitions. The survey showed that researchers are not well aware of the activities and opportunities of modern libraries, therefore library institutions are invited to be active in building effective interaction with science and society.

Published: October 2023

The object of the article is to reveal on the materials from the archive of I.P. Ladyzhnikow Publishing House (1905–1932), found by the author, various aspects of publishing literature in foreign languages.

The company was one of the largest Russian-language publishing houses in Berlin, which, in addition to the mass publication of books in Russian, published in large volumes in the first two decades of the 20th century books in foreign languages, mostly in German. They published Russian classical literature, works of contemporary authors. The main volume fell on the works by L.N. Tolstoy, A.M. Gorky, L.N. Andreev. In addition to Russian writers, the company collaborated with various foreign writers. In its activities, the publishing house always respected the rules of copyright in accordance with the rules of the Berne Literary Convention. When translating books into foreign languages, the company interacted with a large number of translators, with some of whom, for example, August Scholz, it had not only literary, but also business relations. The publishing house left a big mark in the history of familiarizing the European reader with the best examples of native literature.
Development of Training for the Master’s Degree in the Direction “Library and Information Activities”
Authors: Kolesnikova M. N.
Published: October 2023

The purpose of the article is to trace the retrospective of training for the library Master’s degree, to comprehend the accumulated experience in order to find new solutions for its development in the context of the rejection of the Bologna system of education. On the agenda is the restructuring of the entire education system in accordance with the proposals of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. The transformation of the higher library education, including library Master’s degree, is also ahead. It arose and evolved in the 2000s, in line with the introduction of the Bologna system in the higher library education in Russia. The normative framework for regulating training for Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in the field of library and information activities was consistently developed in the form of Federal State standards of higher professional education of the first, second and third generations, model educational programs for the library Master’s degree. The comparison of the mandatory part of the curricula for the preparation of masters of library and information activities in the leading specialized universities showed the existing significant discrepancies in the composition, number, volume of credits and sequence of disciplines taught. During the existence of the library Master’s degree, the model of its graduate has not finally developed, despite the overabundance of general cultural, general professional, professional competencies that, according to Federal State standards of higher professional education, he must cope with. The situation with the employment of graduates of the library Master’s degree has changed cardinally since March 1, 2023 due to the introduction of the Professional Standard of a specialist in library and information activities. At the present stage, many problems of the library magistracy functioning that arose earlier remain. The article presents them as requiring professional discussion and working out a coordinated approach to their solution.
Towards a Truly General Intermolecular Binding Affinity Calculator for Drug Discovery & Design
Authors: Li Wei , Vottevor Gary
Published: October 2023

Intermolecular interactions are the fabrics underlying almost all processes in living organisms, where two cornerstone concepts, intermolecular binding affinity (K d ) and binding energy (ΔG), have long been established to physically describe the strengths of biomolecular interactions, e.g., drug-target K d and ΔG to describe the strength of drug-target interaction. The past two-three years saw a big step forward in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in structural biology (e.g., AlphaFold for protein structure prediction) and drug discovery & design. In light of the roles of K d and ΔG in drug discovery & design, the speed of this AI progress raises a question of what’s next for its practical application in the pharmaceutical industry, in addition to a system-wide account of biomolecular structures and motions. Last August, the concept of a general intermolecular binding affinity calculator (GIBAC) was for the first time coined and proposed in an MDPI-published preprint. Here, this article puts forward an updated conceptual and practical framework of GIBAC, including its inception, definition, construction, practical applications, technical challenges and limitations, and future directions. Moreover, this article argues that the time is now ripe for the construction of such an accurate, precise and efficient GIBAC to be on the agenda of the entire drug discovery & design community, to ensure its applicability & reliability, and to enhance its value in drug R&D in future.

Autonomous vehicles (AV)s will transform transport, but public opinion will play a key role in the decision how widely and quickly, they will be adopted. The purpose of the study presented here, was to investigate community’s views on the transition. As a method for primary data collection on public awareness, attitudes, and readiness to use autonomous cars, survey was conducted in Saudi Arabia. Following that, we have used statistical tools to analyse responses. Our findings indicate that the participants are mainly open to use new technology and had favourable attitude towards transition. Ordinal logistic regression model showed a wide variation in public opinion regarding the expected benefits that may accompany the transition, despite an average high score on this factor. Our findings reveal that awareness of AVs' benefits is more positively correlated to the age of participants. Perceived cost, on one side, and convenience, and safety, on the other side, have substantial impact on opinions. Investigation, presented here, shows how AVs are seen in Saudi Arabia. This can guide the development of AVs and deployment in that region.
Vestibular Testing – New Physiological Results Optimize Clinical Vemp Stimuli
Authors: Pastras Christopher J. , Curthoys Ian S
Published: October 2023

Both auditory and vestibular primary afferent neurons can be activated by sound and vibration. This review relates differences between them to the different receptor/synaptic mechanisms of the two systems as shown by indicators of peripheral function – cochlear and vestibular compound action potentials (cCAPs and vCAPs) to click stimulation as recorded in animal studies. Sound and vibration sensitive type 1 receptors at the striola of the utricular macula are enveloped by the unique calyx afferent ending which has three modes of synaptic transmission. Glutamate is the transmitter for both cochlear and vestibular primary afferents, however blocking glutamate transmission has very little effect on vCAPs but greatly reduces cCAPs. We suggest that the ultrafast non-quantal synaptic mechanism called resistive coupling is the cause of the short latency vestibular afferent responses and related results – failure of transmitter blockade, masking, and temporal precision. This “ultrafast” non-quantal transmission is effectively electrical coupling dependent on the membrane potentials of the calyx and the type 1 receptor. The major clinical implication is that decreasing stimulus rise-time increases vCAP response, corresponding to the increased VEMP response in human subjects . Short rise-times are optimum in human clinical VEMP testing, whereas long rise-times are mandatory for audiometric threshold testing.

Published: October 2023

In this paper, we introduce an innovative approach to distinguish Gliosarcoma (GSM) from Glioblastoma (GBM). Our method combines causal fuzzy logic rules with the Big Bird architecture, a Transformer-based Deep Learning algorithm. Unlike prior research, which often relied on statistical models to reduce dataset dimensions before causal analysis, our approach harnesses the complete dataset in tandem with our causal fuzzy Big Bird architecture. Additionally, we benchmark our results not only against previous Gliosarcoma/Glioblastoma studies but also against GPT-2 for a comprehensive evaluation.
An Exploration on International Legal Regime of Environmentally Sound Technologies Transfer for Combating Climate Change in Post Paris-Agreement Era
Authors: Ma Zhongfa , Lee Seryon
Published: October 2023

The measures related to climate change and international technology transfer have been closely intervened as most international environmental instruments, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol as well as Paris Agreement which contain the provisions concerning environmentally friendly technology transfer. However, technologies have not been transferred adequately owing to the flaws in the relevant provisions and due to the fact that most technologies are possessed by transnational corporations and other private sectors. In order to undertake the commitment by the governments of developed countries and at the same time, to conform the commercial activities of their respective private sectors to the level of promised international obligation, an uniform international technology transfer agreement needs to be established separately, particularly under the World Trade Organization regime in Post Pairs-Agreement era. This paper first explores the defects and challenges found in provisions related to technology transfer in existing environmental agreements, and examines the possibilities of concluding an international technology transfer agreement both from theoretical and practical perspectives. climate change;environmentally sound technology;international technology transfer;Post Paris-Agreement Era
