Abstract The conflict-of-laws rules applicable to the third-party effects of transactions in intermediated securities have attracted a great deal of interest in legal practice and academia. The article reviews the current legal developments in the European Union (EU), the international trends (Geneva Securities Convention and Hague Securities Convention), and the challenges of technological innovation. The article proposes interpreting the category of conflict-of-laws rules applicable to the third-party effects of transactions in intermediated securities in a concise, short, functional, and abstract way. Furthermore, it puts the discussions on the proper connecting factor into context and comments on the most recent developments in the EU in this respect. Finally, it adds to the discussion on proper connecting factors for digital ledger technology-based settlement systems (blockchain) and other current trends.

The Difference

The article reflects on the issue of the foreign policy strategy of modern Russia in the Balkans region. One of the most significant aspects of this problem is the difference in views between Russia and the West. Authors show how different interpretations of the events in former Yugoslavia in the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s predetermined the sense of mutual suspicion and mistrust which spread to other regions such as the post-Soviet space. Exploring differences between the Russian and the Western (Euro-Atlantic) views on the current matters, authors draw attention to fundamental differences in terminology: while the Western narrative promotes more narrow geographical and political definitions (such as the Western Balkan Six), traditional Russian experts are more inclined to wider or integral definitions such as “the Balkans” and “Central and Southeast Europe”. Meanwhile none of these terms are applicable for analysis of the current trends such as the growing transit role of the Balkans region and its embedding in the European regional security architecture. Therefore, a new definition is needed to overcome the differences in vision and better understand significant recent developments in the region. Conceptualizing major foreign policy events in Central and Southeast Europe during the last three decades (the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s), authors demonstrate the significance of differences in tools and methods between the Soviet Union and the modern Russia. Permanent need for adaptation to changing political and security context led to inconsistence in Russian Balkan policy in the 1990s. Nevertheless, Russia was able to preserve an integral vision of the region and even to elaborate new transregional constructive projects, which in right political circumstances may promote stability and become beneficial for both Russia and the Euro-Atlantic community.

This article provides an overview of metaphor theories and research on their own terms, as well as their use in Hebrew Bible (HB) studies. Though metaphor studies in the HB have become increasingly popular, they often draw upon a limited or dated subset of metaphor scholarship. The first half of this article surveys a wide variety of metaphor scholarship from the humanities (philosophical, poetic, rhetorical) and the sciences (e.g., conceptual metaphor theory), beginning with Aristotle but focusing on more recent developments. The second half overviews studies of metaphor in the HB since 1980, surveying works focused on theory and method; works focused on specific biblical books or metaphor domains; and finally noting current trends and suggesting areas for future research.

Management Of Dysphagia

SummaryDysphagia represents a salient concern in many conditions prevalent in older people. There are direct implications for morbidity and mortality. The importance of recognizing and managing dysphagia in hospital and the community also extends to psychosocial impact and quality of life, as well as health, economic and ethical-legal issues. This review outlines reasons for the importance of recognizing and treating dysphagia. It then proceeds to look at recent developments in our understanding of the nature, assessment and management of dysphagia in older people. Whilst there are well-established practices in assessment and management, ongoing work continues to challenge the validity and reliability of many methods. These concerns are covered and directions for future developments highlighted.

Online learning—whether it is human-facilitated or automated, hybrid/blended, asynchronopus or synchronous or mixed--often relies on learning/course management systems (L/CMSes). These systems have evolved in the past decade-and-a-half of popular use to integrate powerful tools, third-party software, Web 2.0 functionalities (blogs, wikis, virtual worlds, and tag clouds), and a growing set of capabilities (eportfolios, data management, back-end data mining, information assurance, and other elements). This chapter highlights learning/course management systems, their functionalities and structures (including some integrated technologies), their applied uses in adult e-learning, and extra-curricular applications. A concluding section explores future L/CMSes based on current trends.

Selling Process

For many entrepreneurs, selling your business is an unique, once-in-a-lifetime event. Selling or transferring one’s business to a third party is in many ways radical. First, in a rather irrational way: selling your business means goodbye to what has been built or continued for several years or for decades. Second, more rationally, entering into a selling process brings its own dynamics: informally attracting candidate buyers or find candidates via public marketing, exchanging business information, negotiation phase, a letter of intent, including clauses on confidentiality, due diligence, valuation and price-setting and the role of certain conditions precedent and guarantees in the entire proces, and finally closing the deal and transfer the business. In addition to its specific contractual clauses relevant for each individual sales process, other legal issues surround such a sale and transfer. On the buyer’s side for instance the way to finance the acquisition, antitrust pitfalls, stock listing requirements or requirements for transferring public law permits, certifications and licences or the uncertainly relating to the possible loss of carry forwards against taxation that may require the consent of third parties to be transferred, if they can be transferred at all).

Pedestrians LBS are accessible by hand-held devices and become a large field of energetic research since the recent developments in wireless communication, mobile technologies and positioning techniques. LBS applications provide services like finding the neighboring facility within a certain area such as the closest restaurants, hospital, or public telephone. With the increased demand for richer mobile services, LBS propose a promising add-on to the current services offered by network operators and third-party service providers such as multimedia contents. The performance of LBS systems is directly affected by each component forming its architecture. Firstly, the end-user mobile device is still experiencing a lack of enough storage, limitations in CPU capabilities and short battery lifetime. Secondly, the mobile wireless network is still having problems with the size of bandwidth, packet loss, congestions and delay. Additionally, in spite of the fact that GPS is the most accurate navigation system, there are still some issues in micro scale navigation, mainly availability and accuracy. Finally, LBS server which hosts geographical and users information is experiencing difficulties in managing the huge size of data which causes a long query processing time. This paper presents a technical investigation and analysis of the performance of each component of LBS system for pedestrian navigation, through conducting several experimental tests in different locations. The results of this investigation have pinpointed the weaknesses of the system in micro-scale environments. In addition, this paper proposes a group of solutions and recommendations for most of these shortcomings.

Uncertainty is a common feature of biological systems, and model-free extremum-seeking control has proved a relevant approach to avoid the typical problems related to model-based optimization, e.g., time- and resource-consuming derivation and identification of dynamic models, and lack of robustness of optimal control. In this article, a review of the past and current trends in model-free extremum seeking is proposed with an emphasis on finding optimal operating conditions of bioprocesses. This review is illustrated with a simple simulation case study which allows a comparative evaluation of a few selected methods. Finally, some experimental case studies are discussed. As usual, practice lags behind theory, but recent developments confirm the applicability of the approach at the laboratory scale and are encouraging a transfer to industrial scale.
