Maritime Technology

Blockchain technology, since its introduction, has been expected to be implemented in many areas. Cryptocurrency is one unique example that established a functioning application. On the other hand, blockchain technology is not immune to various challenges related to the nature of itself, privacy management, and antitrust laws, among others. This study lays out the nature of blockchain and applications in the maritime industry, while highlighting the bottlenecks. Potential resolutions and anticipated developments are proposed. To do this, we adopt a systematic approach and present an overview of blockchain in maritime literature. In addition, the fundamental problems with blockchain are investigated, beginning from their essentials to the pain points that are claimed to need improvement. For establishing a legitimate and practically meaningful blockchain platform, stakeholders need to achieve pluralism (consensus validation), privacy, and security of the system.

Sustainability Initiatives

Sustainability initiatives in maritime industry, despite their global need and relevance, are often riddled with strategic and implementation issues. Here we examine “green” initiatives of top-five global marine terminal operators. We classify their initiatives as technology-centric, process-centric and relationship-centric, and develop a core-competency-driven framework for these initiatives. Our findings indicate that technological initiatives are easy to adopt and yield quicker impact in reducing emissions and increasing ROI. On the other hand, process-centric and relationship-centric initiatives are more difficult to deploy, take longer to yield benefits, but are difficult to imitate. We argue that terminal operators should recognize the value of long-term initiatives that are difficult to replicate, to build competency.

Ipv6 Networks

Security and privacy have become important issues when dealing with Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) networks. On one hand, anonymity, which is related to privacy, makes it hard for current security systems to differentiate between legitimate users and illegitimate users, especially when the users need to be authenticated by those systems whose services they require. On the other hand, a lack of privacy exposes legitimate users to abuse, which can result from the information gained from privacy-related attacks. The current problems inherent within IPv6-enabled networks are due, in part, to the fact that there is no standard available telling companies about the current deficiencies that exist within IPv6 networks. The purpose of this chapter is to show a balance between the use of privacy and security, and to describe a framework that can offer the minimum standard requirement needed for providing security and privacy to IPv6 networks.

Introduction. The introduction of digitalization of the economy will help to centralize the control over the activities of economic entities by various government agencies. On the other hand, the contractor of the enterprise, or other persons who are interested in the activities of a particular enterprise can get acquainted with the rating of the enterprise and draw the necessary conclusions for themselves. Purpose. It consists in a thorough study and analysis of international and domestic experience in rating business activities of enterprises in Ukraine to develop harmonized and unified guidelines for ranking business entities in the European integration of Ukraine. Results. Technologically, the rating should be based on blockchain technology. This technology will avoid one-way storage of information on the server and will allow many participants in the ranking to store it in encrypted form. This situation will not allow hackers to falsify information or hack the server. What are the main criteria for ranking corporate entities? Of course, implementing a large number of criteria will be both problematic and cumbersome. Therefore, it is proposed to rank enterprises at the initial stages according to five main criteria: assessment of taxes and customs duties; evaluation of social indicators; evaluation of the implementation of economic measures; evaluation of the main economic indicators of the enterprise; evaluation of other indicators. Conclusions. The proposed guidelines for digital rating of enterprises will improve the regulatory and legal support for determining the rating of the enterprise to obtain a scale of reliability of the enterprise as a business entity, eliminate significant problems of corruption in the system of public procurement and procurement, double interpretation of the business entity, activism in evaluating the activities of enterprises, etc.

This problem becomes a conflict of various ideas and believes that influences and conquers one another. One side of the church is between influences, on the other hand the church is called to reveal His truth. These problematics has arisen been since the Middle Ages when the philosopher who pioneered the teachings of humanism, reinaisance and enlightenment.

The One

This article addresses contemporary art as a means to investigate how, and to what extent, financial logic impacts upon the socio-cultural sphere. Its contribution is twofold: on the one hand, the article shows that contemporary art’s valuation practices increasingly reflect the logic of capitalization; on the other hand, it assesses the emancipatory potential of blockchain technology for the cultural sphere. In relation to the latter I argue that, in spite of the technological novelty of blockchain-based art projects, these nonetheless fail to challenge a received logic of finance. This exposes the limitations to technological determinism as a means of countering financial power in the socio-cultural sphere, and points to new problems for art’s valuation methods in relation to the liquid logic of algorithmic finance.

Neutral Effect

AbstractThe case law supports the proposition that joint ventures are illegal under the Sherman Act only if unresonable restraints of competition are proven to exist. Put differently, joint ventures are of neutral effect under the Sherman Act: Joint subsidiaries do not of themselves infringe the Act, but on the other hand the formation of a joint venture does not save an otherwise unreasonable restraint of competition. An exception to the abovementioned conclusion may be joint ventures between actual competitors, at least as far as horizontal integration is concerned. In this case a per se rule may apply. Finally, the competitive impact of a foreign joint venture may in some cases be such as to validate it under the Sherman Act where its domestic counterparts would have been struck down.

Epilepsy Treatment

A systematic approach can simplify the process of epilepsy treatment, and knowledge of the antiseizure drugs is essential. This chapter summarizes the approach to treatment, presents a summary of medications and alternative therapies, and discusses treatment in special situations. A rational approach should be taken when selecting medications for the treatment of seizures associated with epilepsy. The choices for drug selection are ever expanding, which can make the selection process difficult for even experienced epileptologists, let alone trainees and patients. On the other hand, the diverse choices available allow medications to be tailored to each patient’s specific situation.
