A Review of Defence Pretrial Disclosures Within the Case Management Theory of Criminal Proceedings in Ghana
Authors: Tufuor Isidore Kwadwo 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This article examines the concept of defense disclosures within the theory of managerialism in criminal proceedings in Ghana. Through a doctrinal and comparative legal analysis with the English jurisdiction, it finds that in substance, the requirement of defense disclosure seeks to move the criminal process from its core protectionist ideology that insulates the accused from matters of proof toward a managerial process informed by objectives of truth-finding, trial efficiency and case management. Ironically, this new direction in the criminal trial process is in practice denounced as being at odds with the procedural due process values that shield the accused from matters of proof and pretrial disclosures. The problem is that unlike in England where the move towards defense disclosures is informed by a clear policy change, the managerial policy introduced by the Judiciary in Ghana is not grounded in any articulated theory or policy direction. While pursuing a path of ensuring effective criminal adjudication through mutual disclosures by the parties, it is important to find a proper balance between the denounced but yet adopted procedural concept of defense disclosures and the highly valued protectionist rights of the accused.

Abstract
This study evaluated the influence of acute water ingestion and maintaining an upright posture on raw bioimpedance and subsequent estimates of body fluids and composition. Twenty healthy adults participated in a randomized crossover study. In both conditions, an overnight food and fluid fast was followed by an initial multi-frequency bioimpedance assessment (InBody 770). Participants then ingested 11 mL/kg of water (water condition) or did not (control condition) during a 5-minute period. Thereafter, bioimpedance assessments were performed every 10 minutes for one hour with participants remaining upright throughout. Linear mixed effects models were used to examine the influence of condition and time on raw bioimpedance, body fluids, and body composition. Water consumption increased impedance of the arms but not trunk or legs. However, drift in leg impedance was observed, with decreasing values over time in both conditions. No effects of condition on body fluids were detected, but total body water and intracellular water decreased by ~0.5 kg over time in both conditions. Correspondingly, lean body mass did not differ between conditions but decreased over the measurement duration. The increase in body mass in the water condition was detected exclusively as fat mass, with final fat mass values ~1.3 kg higher than baseline and also higher than the control condition. Acute water ingestion and prolonged standing exert practically meaningful effects on relevant bioimpedance variables quantified by a modern, vertical multi-frequency analyzer. These findings have implications for pre-assessment standardization, methodological reporting, and interpretation of assessments.
Experimental investigation of hydrophobic bentonite effects on reducing evaporation from water surfaces
Authors: Jajin Roza Ghahramani , Feizi Atabak , Ghorbanpour Mohammad 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
In recent years, due to the occurrence of water shortage and drought problems, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions of the world, new methods to reduce evaporation from the surface of dam reservoirs, lakes, and other water-free surfaces are investigated. This study aimed to use hydrophobic bentonite to reduce water evaporation from water surfaces, on a laboratory scale, and field conditions for the first time. Bentonite initially became hydrophobic by stearic acid (SA). Under such conditions, hydrophobic bentonite floats on the surface of water and forms a thin coating layer. The produced hydrophobic bentonite had a contact angle of 150°, indicating its superhydrophobicity. Evaporation reduction was measured under laboratory and field conditions and it was compared to hexadecanol as the reference material. The results demonstrated that the hydrophobic bentonite efficiency under laboratory conditions was similar to that of hexadecanol and prevented water evaporation by 36%. However, under field conditions, hydrophobic bentonite and hexadecanol efficiencies were 40% and 23% to reduce evaporation for 30 days, respectively. In terms of stability, hexadecanol needed to be re-injected after three days, while hydrophobic bentonite was stable and remained on the surface for more than 100 days under laboratory conditions and for more than 15 days under field conditions without needing re-injection. This coverage with method can be used to reduce evaporation from lakes, tanks, and reservoirs of small dams.
The spatial and temporal variability of hydrological drought in the Polish Carpathians
Authors: Baran-Gurgul Katarzyna 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the climate and geographic factors controlling the hydrological drought of the rivers located in the Upper Vistula catchment in the Polish Carpathians. Drought was identified based on the daily flow (based on water stage measered once a day at 6 UTC) series dating from between 1975 and 2019 at 49 gauging cross-sections. Four physico-geographical regions were identified in the Polish Carpathians and spatial variabilities of the basic drought characteristics were developed within these regions. Such spatial distributions were treated as maps indicating drought hazard areas in the region. In addition, an analysis was undertaken to study the seasonality of the start and end times of the drought (all in the multi-annual period), the longest duration of droughts, the droughts of the highest volume in multi-annual period, as well as the number of drought days. Multi-annual variability of the number of drought days was also analysed.
The results suggest that droughts in the Polish Carpathians are events characteristic of summer and autumn, whereas in the Tatra Mountains and the Podhale region - of autumn and winter. The greatest hazard of a prolonged and high-volume drought occurs in the Podhale region and the Tatra Mountains, while the lowest hazard is observed in the Bieszczady Mountains and the eastern part of the studied area.
Performance analysis of rectangular SIT (sediment invert trap) for stormwater drainage system
Authors: Beg Salman , Kaushal Deo Raj 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Deposition of solid particles in the stormwater sewers reduces the discharging capacity, causing inundation. A sediment invert trap (SIT) is an option that can be installed at the bottom of the stormwater sewer drain to intercept the flowing solid particles. In the present study performance of rectangular SIT were analyzed experimentally and computationally. Variation of particle trapping efficiency of rectangular SIT fitted at the bottom of the open channel flume has been studied under the interpretation of invert trap depth, flow depth, particle size, particle shape, and slot width. To predict the flow field and trap efficiency of a rectangular invert trap, 2D-VOF-DPM-CFD modelling has been carried out using ANSYS Fluent 2020 R1 software. For velocity field determination, the volume of fluid (VOF) model was used along with realizable k-є turbulence model. To predict particle trap efficiency, stochastic discrete phase model (DPM) was utilized. From experimental study and CFD modeling, it has been found that the particle trap efficiency of rectangular invert trap varied with change in the depth of invert trap, sediment size, shape factor, depth of flow and slot width. Consideration of particle shape in terms of shape factor in the modeling of solid-phase through DPM validated the CFD predicted results with those obtained experimentally with mean absolute percent error (MAPE) of 2.68%, 3.99% and 6.6% for sewer solid size ranges SS1, SS2, and SS3 respectively at all flow depths for both slot widths considered in this study.
A Multifaceted Method of Analyzing the Amount of Expenditures on Mine Liquidation Processes in SRK S.A.
Authors: Chmiela Andrzej , Smoliło Janusz , Gajdzik Marta 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The liquidation of the mine is the last and natural stage of mining activity. The activities related to the revitalization and restructuring of hard coal mines are carried out by Spółka Restrukturyzacji Kopalń S.A. (SRK S.A.), as the legal successor of previous mining operations. The implementation of the mine liquidation process has not been the subject of scientific research so far aimed at rationalization and minimization of the costs incurred. Activities leading to the liquidation of the mining plants are the procedural nature, however, the mine liquidation is always a single case which has a result in diversifying the size of outlays. The support for the implementation of the process approach in the issue of mine liquidation in terms of rationalization and minimization of the costs incurred in SRK S.A. was to develop a method of managing the costs of liquidation processes with the software for evaluation of its size. The proposed method signals to the designer that the estimated cost of the process of liquidation of another mining plant deviates from the average values previously worked out by SRK S.A. The range of acceptable values results from the assumed coefficient of data variation.
Research on the Environmental Impact of Industrial Noise Emitted By Mine and Mining Plants
Authors: Mocek Piotr 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The article presents the results of measurements of environmental noise accompanying the operation of devices operated in surface facilities of hard coal mines and noise generated in technological processes related to the loading and transport of spoil and materials necessary for production. The research results presented in the article are part of the program of “Consequences of excessive noise in the mining environment of hard coal mines”, the overarching goal of which is to reduce the emission of industrial noise. The research described in the article, carried out using the sampling method, was introduced in order to determine the actual values of noise levels emitted to the external environment from mines and mining plants, as well as to identify the acoustic power levels of devices and processes constituting the main sources of noise in mines. The obtained results showed that mines and mining plants are often not fully aware of the scale of the environmental impact of undesirable noise they emit. Therefore, the current periodic measurements of environmental noise should be replaced with permanent monitoring, which will be beneficial not only for the environment, residents of housing estates located near mines, but also for the mining plants themselves.
Writing in a Pre-Christian Mode: Boethius, Beowulf, Lord of the Rings, and Till We Have Faces
Authors: Markos Louis 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
In this essay, I compare and contrast how Boethius (in Consolation of Philosophy), the author of Beowulf, J. R. R. Tolkien (in The Lord of the Rings), and C. S. Lewis (in Till We Have Faces) found ways to integrate their Christian theological and philosophical beliefs into a work that is set in a time and place that possesses the general revelation of creation, conscience, reason, and desire, but lacks the special revelation of Christ and the Bible. I begin by using Lewis’s own analysis of the Consolation in his Discarded Image to discuss what it means for a Christian author to write in a pre-Christian mode. I find a model for such writing in Ecclesiastes, and discuss how Boethius, while confining himself to the pagan wisdom of Greece and Rome, points the way from philosophical consolation to theological transformation. I then use Tolkien’s ‘Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics’ to unpack the distinction between the author’s Christian faith and the purely pagan consolation he offers to his characters, and locate that dynamic in the epic itself. Next, I explore how Tolkien, in imitation of Beowulf, balances a deep sense of loss and fatalism with an intimation of a higher providence guiding all. Finally, I show how Lewis, in imitation of Boethius, finds in the pagan world of his novel seeds of a greater revelation to come.
Phenomenology and the Transformation of the Modern Novel
Authors: Cools Arthur 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This article examines in what way and to what extent phenomenological philosophy has given rise to a new understanding of the modern novel and to a transformation of its narrative techniques. The starting point for this examination is the claim, made by Merleau-Ponty in “Metaphysics and the Novel”, according to which, in phenomenological philosophy, the task of philosophy is inextricably bound to that of literature. I examine this claim in two ways. First, I situate it historically with regard to the modern novel’s characteristic realism. Then, I show how the phenomenological attitude – formulated by Husserl as a methodological device in distinction with the natural attitude – transforms the novel’s narrative technics. Sartre’s first novel, La Nausée, constitutes an exemplary case to assess this transformation. Combining these two ways, I argue that the claim made by Merleau-Ponty is paradoxical: on the one hand, the intrinsic connection between phenomenological philosophy and literature promotes the cognitive value of the modern novel, but on the other hand, it breaks with the conventions of the novel form and initiates a fragmented writing.
The contribution of “time novels” to a phenomenology of temporality. Thomas Mann, Martin Heidegger, and our experience of time
Authors: Jaran François 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This paper insists on similarities between Heidegger’s presentation of Dasein’s authentic understanding of time in Being and Time (§§ 79-80) and Thomas Mann’s attempts to “narrate time itself” in The Magic Mountain. It shows that Thomas Mann’s temporal experiments can contribute to a phenomenology of temporality, not merely by “illustrating” philosophical theses, but also by achieving something that goes beyond any phenomenological consideration on time: the enactment of fundamental temporal experiences.
Terms of Appeal and Cassation Appeal in Civil Cases: Novelties of Science and Practice
Authors: Serioznova O. A. 
Published: May 2022

This article is devoted to topical issues of procedural science and practice that arise when exercising the right to protection in civil proceedings. Despite the relatively recent changes made to civil and arbitration procedural legislation, their practical implementation still requires detailed explanations from both the judicial community and science.Certain provisions on the statute of limitations also continue to cause discussions despite their seemingly detailed elaboration.The article includes consideration of such issues as determining the deadlines for filing appeals and cassation complaints in civil cases, namely the procedure for calculating them; grounds for restoring missed deadlines (justification of the validity of the reasons for missing the procedural deadline for individuals and legal entities, the concept of "objective circumstances", procedural reasons, error with the court, errors in the complaint); provisions on the limitation period for certain types of transactions. It should be noted that the act of the highest judicial instance considered in the article also clarified the procedure for appeal, both providing for the stage of appeal, and bypassing its direct appeal to the cassation instance and further to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation; the procedure for presenting new evidence in cases where this was previously unreasonably refused; the scope of verification of the judicial act on the complaint (in whole or in part) was determined.
Image du corps brûlé et matière du film
Authors: Acquarelli Luca 
Published: May 2022

L’article analyse un cas spécifique de remontage artistique d’images d’archives concernant la violence de la guerre coloniale. En particulier, il s’agit d’une série de séquences concernant les effets du gaz moutarde utilisé par l’armée de l'air italienne pendant la guerre italo-éthiopienne de 1935-36. Comment montrer ces images sans tomber dans le risque de spectacularisation de la violence et tout en préservant une intention de dénonciation historique ? La stratégie artistique des deux cinéastes Gianikian et Ricci Lucchi, auteurs des films d'archives qui composent ce travail de remontage et de « refilmage », est ici analysée en proposant un regard interdisciplinaire sur son effet critique.
La violence dans les interactions : les pratiques de la cancel culture et du lynchage en ligne
Authors: SANTOS Flavia Karla Ribeiro , MOREIRA Patricia Veronica , PORTELA Jean Cristtus 
Published: May 2022

On examine ici les pratiques de la cancel culture et du lynchage virtuel, comme versions contemporaines de la « justice sauvage ». Sur la base des pratiques sémiotiques et des formes de vie, nous analysons, au sein d’énoncés virtuels, comment les pratiques inhérentes à la forme de vie de la violence sur les réseaux sociaux se déploient en scènes de la violence symbolique. Destinée à la destruction de l’image publique, cette violence se matérialise par l’agression psychique de la personne dont la réputation a été détruite. Par conséquent, ces pratiques sont menées dans un environnement virtuel, panoptique, par les utilisateurs des réseaux sociaux qui, pathémisés par les passions de malveillance en raison du comportement de l’autre, assument les rôles actantiels des juges, des jurys et des bourreaux, et sanctionnent l’accusé par des punitions qui visent à l’anéantissement moral du sujet.
