Background: Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can result in different types of illnesses, most commonly, as Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Researches have shown that the atmospheric variables and the density of population have affected the transmission of the disease. Meteorological variables like temperature, humidity among others have found to affect the rise of pandemic in positive or negative ways.  Respiratory virus illnesses have shown seasonal variability since the time they have been discovered and managed. This study investigated the relationship between the meteorological variables of temperature, humidity and precipitation in the spread of COVID-19 disease in the city of Pune.Methods: This record based descriptive study is conducted after secondary data analysis of number of new cases of COVID-19 per day from the period 01 May to 24 December 2020 in Pune. Meteorological data of maximum (Tmax), minimum (Tmin) and daily average temperature (Tavg), humidity and precipitation were daily noted from Indian meteorological department website. Trend was identified plotting the daily number of clinically diagnosed cases over time period. Pearson’s correlation was used to estimate association between meteorological variables and daily detected fresh cases of COVID-19 disease.  Results: Analysis revealed significant negative correlation (r=-0.3563, p<0.005) between daily detected number of cases and maximum daily temperature. A strong positive correlation was seen between humidity and daily number of cases (r=0.5541, p<0.005).Conclusions: The findings of this study will aid in forecasting epidemics and in preparing for the impact of climate change on the COVID epidemiology through the implementation of public health preventive measures.

The article offers a classification of types of economic security and separately identifies foreign trade security as the most important element of the states economic security in the context of global escalation of trade contradictions in international trade. The essential characteristics of foreign trade security, characterized by permanent external influence, are revealed. Based on the identified features and characteristics, the definition of foreign trade security is given as a state of protection of exports and(or) imports from threats caused only by external influence, but not internal, in contrast to other types of economic security. It is shown that it is impossible to achieve the state of full provision of foreign trade security of the state in the conditions of participation in international economic relations. To resolve the contradiction between the goal of maximizing the effect of foreign trade activities and the simultaneous need to ensure security, we propose the formation of a scientifically-based system for ensuring foreign trade security and identify its main constituent elements.

Article 31 paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) of the Indonesian Bankruptcy Law stipulate that all seizures that have been determined on the debtor's assets are null and void since the bankruptcy verdict is pronounced and since then the only validity is general seizure. However, in its practice various seizures are still stipulated on bankrupt assets ranging from civil, criminal and tax seizures. This paper discusses the forms of seizure in the bankruptcy process, the position of general seizure of other seizures in bankruptcy and the impact of the position of general seizure on debt payments to creditors. The research method used is normative legal research using secondary data collected through library studies and document studies. The various data were then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. This writing found that there are rules in other laws such as Article 39 paragraph (2) KUHAP and Article 6 paragraph (1) Law No. 19 of 2000 that have ruled out the position of general seizure. The experts in each field of science also have different views regarding the position of general seizure. This condition has resulted in the emergence of friction between law enforcement, inconsistency of judges’ decisions, length of bankruptcy proceedings, injustice, unclear data on bankruptcy assets and reduced bankruptcy assets. Therefore, the understanding of law enforcement regarding legal principles, especially the principle of lex specialis derogate legi generalis, needs to be improved. The use of prejudgment seizure in the bankruptcy process must be socialized to maximize control over bankrupt assets. To avoid prolonged process of bankruptcy, the bankruptcy law should limit the time period for the settlement of assets to the curator.AbstrakPasal 31 ayat (1) dan ayat (2) UU Kepailitan mengatur bahwa segala sita yang telah ditetapkan atas harta kekayaan debitor menjadi hapus semenjak putusan pailit diucapkan dan semenjak itu satu-satunya yang berlaku adalah sita umum. Akan tetapi pada praktiknya berbagai sita tetap ditetapkan atas harta pailit mulai dari sita perdata, pidana dan pajak.  Tulisan ini membahas tentang bentuk-bentuk sita dalam proses kepailitan, kedudukan sita umum terhadap sita lainnya dalam kepailitan dan dampak dari kedudukan sita umum terhadap pembayaran utang kepada para kreditor. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan data sekunder yang dikumpulkan melalui kegiatan studi perpustakaan maupun studi dokumen. Berbagai data tersebut kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif-kualitatif. Penulisan ini menemukan bahwa adanya aturan dalam UU lain seperti Pasal 39 ayat (2) KUHAP dan Pasal 6 ayat (1) UU No. 19 Tahun 2000 telah mengesampingkan kedudukan sita umum. Ahli masing-masing bidang ilmu juga memiliki pandangan yang berbeda terkait kedudukan sita umum.  Kondisi ini berdampak pada munculnya pergesekan antara penegak hukum, inkonsistensi putusan hakim, lamanya proses kepailitan, terjadi ketidakadilan, ketidakjelasan data harta pailit, berkurang bahkan hilangnya harta pailit. Oleh sebab itu, pemahaman penegak hukum tentang asas hukum terutama asas lex specialis derogate legi generalis perlu ditingkatkan. Penggunaan lembaga sita jaminan dalam proses kepailitan harus disosialisasikan untuk memaksimalkan penguasaan terhadap harta pailit. Supaya proses kepailitan tidak berlarut-larut, UU kepailitan harusnya membatasi jangka waktu penyelesaian aset kepada kurator.

The possibility of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union has never been more realistic and up-to-date since joining the European Communities (EC) as it is today. The UK is facing a unique situation. At present, this depends solely on the capabilities of European and British government officials, who negotiate the terms of withdrawal and future cooperation between the two entities. The main goal of this paper is based on the British – Slovak trade relations development analysis to figure out their impact within the Brexit consequences on the future Slovak economy and its current status in international economic relations. The paper also provides a basic overview of Brexit process and its possible impact on the EU's further functioning. Basic data will be drawn from generally accepted institutions, evaluating the UK and Slovak trade and economic performance. To accomplish this goal, methods such as analysis and comparison to illustrate the UK-Slovak foreign trade development, synthesis and logical deduction to discuss the Brexit impact on Slovak economic environment in the future are to be used; data from scientific and professional publications, periodical and non-periodical press. The paper presents the results of an empirical analysis, which showed that because of the size of economic relations between Slovakia and the United Kingdom and the number of goods and services being exported to the UK, the «hard» Brexit will be very unfavourable for Slovak foreign trade due to the possible tariffs being imposed. The research empirically confirms and theoretically proves that it can cause a significant weakening and slowdown in the Slovak economy. Either way, the upcoming Brexit process, that is the withdrawal of Great Britain from the European Union, would have a major impact not only on British, European but also on the world economy. The impact of Brexit on Slovakia's economy will not only be in reducing the possible growth of the economy, but also in employment and price increases. Keywords: EU single market, Britain's withdrawal from the EU, foreign trade policy instruments analysis, international economics, Slovak economy slowdown prediction, Slovak foreign trade commodity structure analysis.
