Life With Rights: Inclusive Labour Law and Decent Work for Wastepickers in Brazil
Authors: Verma Anil , Gomes Ana , Guimares Dieric 
Published: January 2024

This paper focuses on the labour-environment nexus from the perspective of developing countries, using the case of one of the most vulnerable groups of workers, namely, wastepickers in Brazil. For labour law, the case of wastepickers reveals the limits and potential of labour law to include informal workers, especially poor informal workers from the Global South. We argue that labour rights are essential for these workers even though their work does not fit in the description of an employment relationship. Labour law needs to expand epistemologically to capture different workers and influence the distinct dimensions of their lives. For this expansion of the law to become effective, labour rights and the promotion of collective organization must be recognized within a framework of coordinated policy reforms across labour, environment, and other areas of social policy.

Just Transition in the Global South: Alternative Approaches from Latin America
Authors: Olmos Giupponi Belen 
Published: January 2024

This paper presents a critical analysis of just transition narratives in the context of Latin America, highlighting the need for a Global South1 approach that considers the specific socio-economic and environmental conditions of the region. Drawing on the existing literature and the case law of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR), the paper examines the role of international environmental and human rights law in promoting a fair and equitable transition to a low-carbon economy. It argues that a just transition must prioritize the needs of vulnerable groups, including informal sector workers, indigenous peoples, and other marginalized communities, who are disproportionately affected by environmental degradation and climate change. The paper also assesses the narratives of just transition in the Inter-American system, providing a new contribution to the literature on human and environmental rights in the region. By highlighting the importance of a context-specific approach to just transition, this paper aims to contribute to ongoing debates on the role of law in promoting sustainable and fair employment in Latin America.

The European Green Deal: A Useful Framework for Anticipating Change in Companies?
Authors: Canalda Sergio 
Published: January 2024

Sergio CanaldaThe restructuring of companies to adapt to a more sustainable production context requires anticipatory measures. These measures must necessarily be articulated through the principle of just transition, offering assistance to workers affected by the restructuring. The European Green Deal aims to promote the transformation of the European Union towards a more sustainable economic model. However, the measures included in the European Union (EU) Fair Transition Recommendation are generic actions without concrete content. When it mentions the need to encourage employee participation in corporate restructuring through information and consultation, the Recommendation refers to the implementation of the Quality Framework on Anticipation of Change and Corporate Restructuring.
This paper addresses the adequacy of the Quality Framework to ensure a fair transition in green restructuring processes. In the first section, the interconnection between the EU Fair Transition Recommendation and theQuality Framework is briefly analysed. In the second section, the suitability of the Quality Framework as a reference instrument to guide restructuring processes is examined in two respects: on the one hand, the involvement of workers’ representatives and, on the other hand, the active participation of public authorities through the implementation of other social policies.

The Lithuania-China Row: The European Union’s Search for a Strategy and Instruments to Deal With China
Authors: Biukovic Ljiljana 
Published: January 2024

The increasing use of measures of economic coercion by China has caused its trading partners to review their close trade ties with that country as well as their ability to resist such pressure. In December 2022, the European Union (EU) requested that the World Trade Organization (WTO) adjudicate its dispute with China regarding restrictive trade measures China had imposed on Lithuania in response to its foreign policy actions that were not to China’s liking. The EU also drafted new legislation – the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Protection of the Union and its Member States from Economic Coercion by Third Countries – to deter third countries from applying coercive measures that target the EU and its Member States. This paper considers the new instrument in the context of the EU’s evolving ‘economic de-risking’ strategy on China and a wide range of measures aimed at protecting the common market from the unfair behaviour of China and other states and reducing the EU vulnerability vis-à-vis economic and security threats. The EU’s ability to deter states from applying coercive measures against it hinges upon its ability to strengthen its market power and to use the new instrument when necessary.

The Return of Windfall Taxation
Authors: Magalhães Tarcísio Diniz , Lillo Francesco De 
Published: January 2024

Windfall taxes are not new to the world, but they have assumed a variety of shapes and formats under different names in each country and period. Sometimes, they are designed to be applied on a one-time or temporary basis while, at other times, they coexist with classic forms of income taxation. Sometimes they are imposed on actual profits or net earnings while, at other times, they use alternative tax bases. In one way or another, imposing surtaxes on windfall-like gains has been repeatedly legitimized by society’s frustration that well-positioned individuals and firms retain unearned, excessive financial rewards, especially under distorted market or regulatory conditions. With the current global energy and food prices crises, windfall taxes have once again risen to broad popularity. This article examines the historic, economic, and policy rationales for windfall taxation, arguing that lawmakers could use the accumulated experience of the past to go beyond attempts to tax current crisis-driven high returns to ultimately build corporate tax systems that are more progressive.

Is the EU Contribution on Windfall Profits Based on the Right Treaty Provision?
Authors: Lignereux Bastien 
Published: January 2024

In the aftermath of the debate instigated by the ‘windfall profits’ generated by the inflation in the energy sector, the EU introduced a temporary ‘solidarity contribution’ in October 2022 acting as a redistributing mechanism to finance support measures for energy consumers. The rapidity of its adoption is directly linked to its legal basis as it is founded on an emergency clause (Article 122 TFEU) that does not require unanimity in the EU Council. This contribution argues that this legal basis is appropriate even though the EU solidarity contribution has to be classified as a direct tax. Indeed, it can be deduced from settled CJEU case law that such a measure has to be based on only this clause and not on the usual Article 115 TFEU used for the approximation of laws in the field of direct taxation as its purpose is to react to an economic situation through a temporary solidarity measure. That stated, the consequences on the debate on qualified majority voting (QMV) in taxation should not be overestimated; Article 115 TFEU cannot be circumvented for measures aiming at harmonizing direct tax legislations of Member States in order to improve the functioning of the internal market.

The Implementation of the Windfall Profit Tax for Energy Providers in Spain: Its Contested Compatibility With European and Constitutional Law
Authors: Serrano Antón Fernando 
Published: January 2024

This contribution focuses (1) on the legitimacy of the temporary solidarity contribution approved by the Council Regulation (EU) 2022/1854, from a legal perspective considering the use of emergency law; and (2) the European law and jurisprudence in contrast with the Spanish implementation of the windfall profit tax on hydrocarbons providers to sort out its compatibility with the European law. The analysis carried out leads us to maintain some doubts about the legal mechanism used by the EU for its approval, as well as its compatibility with the fundamental freedoms of the EU. We are also critical of the Spanish implementation of the Temporary Solidarity Contribution. Both the Court of Justice of the EU and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) will have the last word.

ANALISIS KEANDALAN, KOORDINASI PROTEKSI. RELAY STANDBY EARTH FAULT (SBEF), SAAT TERJADI FAULT PADA GARDU INDUK MAROS
Authors: Yulianto Bagas Tomi 
Published: January 2024

The need for the use of electric power in modern times has experienced many developments in the field of technology, which of course has an effect on the amount of electricity consumed in society. Along with the rapid demand for electricity in Indonesia. The reliability of the electric power system is key to meeting the community's needs for electrical energy. This is due to the increasing number of human activities that require electrical energy.
This study aims to analyze the reliability of protection coordination, working principles, security, and SBEF relay simulation when a fault occurs at the Maros substation. The method of data collection and direct observation in the field was carried out precisely at the Maros 150 kV Substation, the Maros Transmission and Substation Service Unit (ULTG).
The results of the study, namely the reliability of the SBEF relay protection coordination when a fault occurs at the Maros substation, show that the first relay to work is the OCR GFR on the feeder side because, based on the working current settings and working time, if given a fault current of 3021 A, it will work after 426 ms, followed by the incoming side GFR OCR relay, SBEF stage 1 Fault percentage = 0075% so that it has a reliability percentage of 100%. The working principle and safeguards carried out on the SBEF relay when a fault occurs at the Maros substation and the data recap of the Maros ULTG fault can be seen by comparing the frequency of faults that cause the transformer to go out before and after the implementation of the two-stage SBEF relay function and the frequency of faults that cause the transformer to go out at ULTG Maros in 2019 as many as 1times and in 2020 as many as 0 times. The simulation on SBEF when a fault occurs at the Maros substation on the transformer uses the ETAP 19.0.1 application; the first time it works is GFR.

Rice bran oil as an alternative edible oil is promising to be developed. However, the presence of lipaze enzym which hydrolyze actively trigliceride into free fatty acid results rice bran quality can not be controlled and tend to degrade. Stabilization proccesswas needed to overcome this isue. Stabilization with microwave heating has been carried out to study the effect of stabilization toward the quality of rice bran oil. The results showed that the highest percentage of oil mass 7.67% was obtained at mediumpower (power 2), stabilization time 1 minute and the extraction waiting time for 0 week. Meanwhile, the levels of free fatty acids tended to be constant when the proccess was carried out at power 3 (high power) for all stabilization times. Microwave heating was effective enough to reduce the lipase enzyme in rice bran so as free fatty acid content did not increase significantly.

THE CONDITIONAL GIFT – INTERPRETATIONS OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN APPLYING FOR THE EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE STATUS
Authors: Hermane Agnese , Kunda Ilona 
Published: January 2024

European cities compete for the status of the European Capital of Culture (ECoC), as it is proven to enhance city visibility and the profile of cultural events in the city; it also allows addressing issues of strategic cultural development of the successful candidate. Importantly, the status comes with an explicit requirement to ensure sufficient public participation in developing the bid and implementing the cultural programme. Prior research demonstrates that meaningful participation is not easy to achieve; the research on that aspect is considered scarce.
The article aims to analyse the interpretation of public participation, its challenges and shaping factors as seen by ECoC bid-producing teams. The main research question is “What did the bid development process uncover about the capacity of bid-producing teams to foster public participation in the Latvian cities – ECoC finalists?”
The current paper examines the challenge of participation encountered in the process of developing the bid for the second round of ECoC 2027 by three applying cities in Latvia. The study was carried out between October 2022 and March 2023 using qualitative methodology. The theoretical starting point of the study is the four-part framework of factors influencing participation by Kaifeng Yang and Sanjay K. Pandey [Yang & Pandey 2011]. The study suggests that these factors are indeed useful in conducting an analysis of participation. In addition, the study supports the prior conclusions of scholarly literature pointing out that more nuanced language is needed to interpret participation and participants. The article pays special attention to the nuances of digital participation and the organisational characteristics of the public body in charge of participation in cultural planning.

Published: January 2024

The traditional teaching of Anatomy requires the use of cadaveric pieces that are often difficult to obtain, preserve and maintain. In this sense, additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, can be a useful tool since it makes it possible to produce synthetic models from real anatomical structures. The main goal of this work was to develop anatomical models of an ovine stomach by 3D modeling and printing. A conserved ovine stomach was computed tomography scanned and the anatomical images obtained were reconstructed from the DICOM files using the InVesalius software and used for modeling and printing anatomical models in reduced scale with their peculiar anatomical characteristics. Three models were defined to represent the external and internal morphology: i. closed stomach; ii. stomach opened laterally, and iii. stomach cut sagitally. All models were printed on polylactic acid (PLA) by extrusion material process on an Ender 5 Pro printer. The models produced were adequate since they allowed observing details of the external and internal morphology of the ovine stomach. In addition, these models are presented as an innovative approach to anatomical study when combined with real organs.
