Published: December 2024

Objectives: The article examines the issue of criminal liability for orders given by commanders and servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to their subordinates regarding violations of the laws and customs of war in Ukraine. It aims to establish the basis of criminal liability in such cases, focusing on the concept of command responsibility as outlined in international humanitarian law.

Methods: The analysis is based on a review of judicial practice in Ukraine, specifically examining how courts address the actions of commanders and servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The study investigates the legal framework surrounding command responsibility and the application of international humanitarian law in the context of the ongoing conflict.

Results: The findings indicate that courts typically do not charge commanders and servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with the act of giving orders. Instead, they attribute specific violations of the laws and customs of war committed by their subordinates. The article confirms the formation of a legal axiom in judicial practice, stating that criminal liability arises for all servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces who, as part of a criminal organization, violate the laws and customs of war on the territory of Ukraine. An irrefutable legal presumption is identified, asserting that all servicemen are aware of and informed about the laws and customs of war they violated while executing criminal orders from the military-political leadership of the aggressor state.

Conclusion: The article concludes that considering the actions of servicemen through the lens of factual circumstances that exclude the criminal unlawfulness of their actions, such as executing an order or directive, is unacceptable. This perspective aligns with the standards of international humanitarian law, reinforcing the notion that accountability must be upheld for violations committed during armed conflict.

Published: December 2024

Abstract. This study presents DalROMS-NWA12 v1.0, a coupled ocean circulation–sea ice–biogeochemistry modelling system for the northwest Atlantic Ocean (NWA) in which the circulation and biogeochemistry modules are based on ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling System). The circulation module is coupled to a sea ice module based on the Community Ice CodE (CICE), and the physical ocean state simulated by the circulation module drives the biogeochemical module. Study of the biological carbon pump in the NWA is one of the main intended applications of this model. Global atmospheric and ocean reanalyses are used to force DalROMS-NWA12 at the sea surface and as part of its lateral boundary input, respectively. The modelling system is also forced by tides, riverine freshwater input, and continental runoff. The physical ocean state and sea ice from two simulations of the period 2015–2018, with and without nudging of the simulated temperature and salinity towards a blend of observations and reanalysis, are examined in this study. Statistical comparisons between model results and observations or reanalyses show that the control (nudged) simulation outperforms the prognostic (un-nudged) simulation in reproducing the paths of the Gulf Stream and the West Greenland Current, as well as propagation of the estuarine plume in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The prognostic simulation performs better in simulating the sea ice concentration. The biogeochemical module, which is run only in the control simulation, performs reasonably well in reproducing the observed spatiotemporal variations in oxygen, nitrate, alkalinity, and total inorganic carbon. To examine the effects of tides and sea ice on the physical fields in the study area, results of simulations from which either component is absent are compared to results of the prognostic simulation. In the absence of tides, Ungava Bay in summer experiences a simulated surface salinity that is higher by up to ∼7 psu than in the simulation with tides, as well as experiencing changes in horizontal distributions of surface temperature and sea ice. Without coupling to the sea ice module, the circulation module produces summertime sea surface temperatures that are higher by up to ∼5 °C in Baffin Bay.
Flood risk assessment through large-scale modeling under uncertainty
Authors: Pavesi Luciano , Volpi Elena , Fiori Aldo 
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The complexity of flood risk models is intrinsically linked to a variety of sources of uncertainty (hydrology, hydraulics, exposed assets, vulnerability, coping capacity, etc.) that affect the accuracy and reliability of the analyses. Estimating the uncertainties associated with the different components allows us to be more confident in the risk values on the ground, thus providing a more reliable assessment for investment, insurance and flood risk management purposes. In this study, we investigate the flood risk of the entire Central Apennines District (CAD) in Central Italy using the laRgE SCale inUndation modEl – Flood Risk (RESCUE-FR), focusing on the interaction between the uncertainty in the hydraulic Manning parameter and the risk variability. We assess the coherence between the quantile flood risk maps generated by our model and the official risk maps provided by the Central Apennines District Authority (CAD Authority) and focusing on three specific zones within the CAD region. Thus, RESCUE-FR is used to estimate the expected annual damage (EAD) and the expected annual population affected (EAPA) across the CAD region and to conduct a comprehensive uncertainty analysis. The latter provides a range of confidence of risk estimation that is essential for identifying vulnerable areas and guiding effective mitigation strategies.

Abstract. In the increasing global transition towards renewable and carbon-neutral energy, understanding the uncertainties associated with wind power production is extremely important. In addition to the widely acknowledged uncertainties from turbulence and wind intermittency, further complexity arises from the influence of rainfall, which only a limited number of studies have addressed so far. To understand this, multiple 3D sonic anemometers, mini meteorological stations, and optical disdrometers were employed on a meteorological mast on the Pays d'Othe wind farm (110 km south-east of Paris, France) in the framework of the Rainfall Wind Turbine or Turbulence (RW-Turb) project (https://hmco.enpc.fr/portfolio-archive/rw-turb/, last access: 26 November 2024). With these simultaneously measured data, wind power and its associated atmospheric fields were studied under various rainy conditions. Variations of the wind velocity, power available on the wind farm, power produced by wind turbines, and air density are examined here, under rainy and dry conditions, using the scale-invariant framework of universal multifractals (UM). Since rated power acts like an upper threshold in statistical analysis of turbine power (discussed in Part 1), theoretically available power was used as a proxy. From an event-based analysis, differences in UM parameters were observed between rainy and dry conditions for the fields. This is explored further using joint multifractal analysis, which revealed an increase in the correlation exponent between various fields with the rain rate. Here we also examine the possibility of variation in power production by rainy conditions (convective or stratiform) as well as by regimes of wind velocity. While examining time steps according to wind velocity, turbine power curves showed different regions of departure from the state curve according to the rain rate.

Authors: Hanif Muhammad , Riaz Asifa , Ikram Iqra 
Published: December 2024

Stroke, a significant contributor to disability, primarily affects the trunk's ability to produce movement and function. Patients with stroke experience falls frequently and have more post-fall activity limitations because of severe postural instability. The incidence of stroke steadily increases, further endangering the body's physical, mechanical and musculoskeletal functions.
Objective: To compare the effects of core strengthening versus lower limb Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Techniques on trunk function and balance in chronic stroke patients.
Materials and Methods: The randomised control trial (RCT) was conducted at Itiefaq Hospital & Riphah Rehabilitation Centre, Lahore, Pakistan, from June to December 2022. The subject includes either gender aged 40-70 with chronic stroke patients. They were randomised into two groups. Group A was treated with Core Strengthening exercises and conventional treatment, and Group B was treated with PNF and traditional therapy. The Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were used to assess outcome measures. Data was analysed by using SPSS-21.
Rsults: Out of 42 patients, there were 21 patients in the two groups. Scores for the Berg Balance and Trunk Impairment Scale showed significant results within a group as indicated by p-value (<0.05). The within-group analysis revealed essential findings in all parameters. The between-group comparison showed insignificant results in the case of the Trunk Impairment scale, as the p-value was not less than 0.05. Between-group results were significant in the case of the Berg Balance Scale (p<0.05).
Conclusion: This study concluded that applying core strengthening exercises and lower limb proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques improved the balance and function of the trunk in chronic stroke patients.
The Venetian Governor’s Palace on Ithaca
Authors: Nikias K. 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
The ruins of Venetian-period settlements on Ithaca have been overshadowed by interest in the ancient heritage of the island, particularly by the obsession to locate the palace of Odysseus. Despite the neglect of the early modern built heritage of Ithaca, its study sheds light on the economic and social forces that shaped the spatial and urban experience of Venetian rule. This article surveys a large series of unpublished documentary evidence for the evolution of an important example of Venetian-period public architecture on Ithaca, the “palace” built to serve the island’s governors. The public edifice in the island’s main township built sometime in the late sixteenth century decayed over the course of the seventeenth century and into the next, when it was abandoned by the governors, who took to residing on the bayside in a settlement expanding with the growth of trade. This article emphasizes the structural, political causes of the demise of the palace and places these in their colonial administrative context. It emphasizes the role of the palace as a material representation of the presence of colonial power on a small island at the periphery, which was ruled as a delegated jurisdiction by local elites and not directly by Venetians.

Published: December 2024

Introduction:
Stress, a natural response to difficult situations is causally linked to morbidity leading to cognitive decline. A good sleep, required for somatic well-being and memory consolidation, is very essential. Hence this study proposed to study the effect of stress on sleep hygiene among 15 to 18 years students of a school in an urban area of Burdwan, West Bengal.

Objectives:
This study aimed to estimate the burden of perceived stress, determine sleep hygiene by assessment of excessive daytime sleepiness and find out effect of stress on sleep hygiene.

Methodology:
A cross-sectional study conducted in a school, chosen by purposive sampling among 99 students aged 15 to 18 years from December, 2022 to February, 2023. Information was collected by using self-administered structured questionnaire. Stress was assessed using Perceived Stress Scale and sleep hygiene was assessed using Epworth Sleepiness Scale for Children and Adolescents and association between them was determined.

Results:
Out of 99 students, 53.5% were males and 46.4% were females. The mean age was 16. As per PSS scale 67.9% of male and 67.4% of female adolescent students were found to be moderate to severely stressed. Around 71% of students below class 10 were moderate to severely stressed. Prevalence of poor sleep hygiene was around 19.2% in total. Although association between PSS and ESS-CHAD was not of statistical significance which might be due to the small sample size, a positive correlation between stress and sleep disturbances was established from the findings.

Conclusion:
Prevalence of stress was quite high among the participants. Poor sleep hygiene was prevalent and it increased with increase in stress. Early identification and management of stress through school-based health programs is required for adolescents for better academic performance and overall wellbeing.
