The aim of the article is to reflect the situation regarding the problems in creating a labour pro-tection system for the new forms of employment in Latvia. It is concluded that in Latvia, as in the rest of Europe, there is no common understanding of what new forms of employment are, nor do the regulatory enactments specifically define what training and instruction procedures are in the field of labour protection at the moment. The research conducted by the authors shows that interest in and understanding of labour protection is low, and people do not know where they can gain information. As a result of the research it was found that people are not ready to invest money in establishing the labour protection system due to the fact that labour protection is perceived as a formal and unnecessary activity. The authors suggest that greater attention should be paid to this issue, particularly taking into account that, in the current digital era, new forms of employment continue developing, while the literature and research available at the moment at a Latvian and European level are insufficient.

The regulation of vertical restraints is a long-standing facet of competition law, governed at the European level by Article 101 TFEU. However, in the new era of digitization, algorithmic price monitoring and price setting has the potential to lead to rapid and widespread price changes across entire online marketplaces for suppliers, often leading to lower prices, which benefit consumers. The manner in which suppliers react to these pressures has resulted in behaviours that may involve collusion, but more often are reminiscent of classic vertical restraints, albeit in the new digital era. The article considers how the European Commission and some Member States’ national competition authorities have been tackling vertical restraints in the online world, and considers the implications as the European economy continues to digitize.

Uncertainties caused by energy dependencies affect the energy security of the states in the region, and implicitly their national security. Romania is in a relatively unique positionbetween the states in the region and those in the EU, given the energy potential. In the next period, taking into account the commitments assumed at the European level, but also the need to revive the National Energy System, Romania will define its energy identity. In this equation, a topic of interest at the moment is the question of nuclear energy, and whether the current historical logic still brings relevance to this way of producing energy, considering also the appropriate security implications. This paper deals with the issue first in terms of defining the place of the nuclear sector in the energy identity of Romania, then pointing out some aspects related to security. Finally, the conclusions are presented in the form of development perspectives.Keywords: Romania; EU; nuclear energy; energy identity; security.

Often it is told that womanhood comes to full circle when a woman becomes a mother. Being a mother either biologically or by way of adoption is indeed a unique experience because it not only gives the joy of nurturing another life, but it also may make the woman more responsible in every sense. For every woman, the phases of motherhood bring special moments. For some, these phases may start right from the day of conceiving; for some they may start when she decides to adopt a baby; for some they may start right from the moment of the birth of the baby. In this digital era, many couples (especially women) like to capture the moments of motherhood by making digital photo albums or vlogs. In India, this phenomenon is rapidly catching up. Pregnancy photo shoots, baby birthing photos and videos, newborn photo shoots, etc. are trending. YouTube and Instagram are the chosen platforms to upload such videos or images. YouTube especially provides a wonderful opportunity to easy creation of amateur vlogs.

This article analyzes the theoretical and ideological interests of the first philosophical essays in Argentina from an intellectual-history perspective. Saúl Taborda (1885-1943), Homero Guglielmini (1903-1968) and Carlos Astrada (1894-1971) had similar theoretical and political trajectories. From the 1920s, when they were in charge of incipient philosophical and avant-garde magazines, they were influenced by the writings of Nietzsche and Sorel. Later, they were interested in German romanticism and Heidegger's work, in the moment when Astrada and Guglielmini became two of the most important intellectuals of Juan Domingo Perón's government. While the so-called historical revisionism has received a remarkable attention, we only have a few works on this philosophical revisionism in Argentina. It is necessary, thus, to differentiate these early revisionist writings from their counterparts dedicated to history. The philosophers did not react to the continuous waves of immigration but rather to liberal political innovations taken as "foreign ideas". They focused especially on the figure of the gaucho and proposed a non-Catholic reading of Hispanicism. In a nutshell, they argued against individualism and forth theoretical tools to think a collective subject. Therefore, this work describes a theoretical trajectory that is well known at the European level, ranging from vitalist and aestheticist irrationalism to nationalist and strongly anti-individualist organisationalist positions.

AbstractThe last three decades have brought important changes to the Romanian judicial system, especially concerning the struggle for independence and autonomy within the separation of powers equation. The internal and external context – i.e. the transition to democracy, after 1989, and the intention to join the European Union – determined an orientation towards the “Euro-Model” of judicial self-government. This has not come without difficulties and perils, both from the inside and from the outside. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the Romanian system of judicial self-government in the context of these perils and emphasizes the link between the attempts to reinforce judicial independence and the anti-corruption fight, required by the supervision mechanism under which Romania has been placed at the moment of the EU accession. The increase in the number and intensity of such perils in the recent period has coincided with an increase in the number of high-level political corruption cases that have resulted in convictions. The article also discusses recent changes in the laws of the judiciary, which still are, partially, under parliamentary scrutiny, but which have raised serious concerns at the European level, as regards the progress made by Romania in achieving the objectives included in the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism.

Palestine refugees are excluded from the scope of the international refugee protection system. The agency that is currently protecting them, UNRWA, is under threat. What would the end of UNRWA mean at the European level? This article explains the special situation of Palestinians, the history and role of UNRWA and the consequences that a dissolution of UNRWA would entail. It analyses the situation from an EU perspective, as the CJEU has already delivered several landmark judgments. The article concludes that an abolition of UNRWA would place Palestinians in a better position, as the European Union would be obliged to protect all those persons that currently fall under UNRWA’s mandate and are hence excluded from obtaining refugee status. This is a finding that seems to be totally ignored or at least underestimated by the International Community. Nevertheless, the dissolution of UNRWA might lead to an unprecedented deterioration of the situation of Palestinians living in UNRWA’s operating areas.
