Spatio-Temporal Variation of Ecosystem Services and Its Trade-off Relationships in Southwest Guangxi

Identifying the mutual relationship between ecosystem services in southwest Guangxi can jointly optimize a variety of services to avoid damaging others while improving one service, which is of great significance for promoting the sustainable management of regional ecosystem, guiding the rational development of natural resources and improving human well-being. Based on remote sensing data, land use data, meteorological data and DEM data, with the support of Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach (CASA) model, Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST) model and Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model, this paper studies the changing characteristics of typical ecosystem services in southwest Guangxi and explores the mutual relationship between different ecosystem services. The results showed that the mean change trend of the whole vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) has been increasing in the study area over the past 19 years. In the past 19 years, water conservation in southwest Guangxi has shown a fluctuating upward trend, with the growth rate of water conservation quality 255.88 mm/hm−2·a−1. During the study period, the range of soil retention variation to the total of 65.38–96.88 t/hm−2·a−1 increased 22.73 t/hm−2·a−1, with a mean of 79.19 t/hm−2·a−1. Vegetation NPP in the study area is synergistic with soil conservation and water conservation, and soil conservation with water conservation as well.

Venetian Lagoon Mussel Farming Between Tradition and Innovation An Example of Changes in Perception and Multispecies Relations

In Venetian lagoon, mussels as a food, together with technical innovations and new knowledge for their exploitation, are a recent discovery. In the past, the lagoon’s fishers considered them inedible. The first mussel farming was launched in 1939 and mussels began a new process of rehabilitation. It is the beginning of a new relationship. Mussels turn themselves into delicate animals that need care and fishers develop new interactions with the other non-human components of the environment. A mutual relationship (or inter-agentivity) is created between mussel farmers and mussels, and it brings undeniable advantages to both species.

Odpowiedzialność karna i dyscyplinarna żołnierza i funkcjonariusza w świetle zasady ne bis in idem

he appearance in the legal system of military disciplinary regulations introducing the category of the so-called a contact act (i.e. an act that is a military disciplinary offense that simulta-neously fulfills the features of a prohibited act, penalized in another act, e.g. in the Act of June 6, 1997, the Penal Code) triggered a number of questions about the mutual relationship between the repressive nature of criminal and quasi-repressive military disciplinary liability. The category of a contact act expressis verbis refers to the provision of Art. 17 sec. 1 and art. 17 sec. 2 points 2-3 of the Act of 09/10/2009 on Military Discipline. Committing a military disciplinary offense by a mil-itary soldier, which at the same time carries the features of an offense penalized in the Criminal Code, gives the possibility of double (i.e. criminal and disciplinary) punishment of a soldier for the same act in fact. Therefore, it is necessary to consider whether such practice makes ne bis in idem (prohibiting repeated punishment of a person for the same act) quite a constitutional principle; or, on the contrary, this practice violates constitutional standards? The analysis made in this article is an attempt to answer this question. The considerations are dogmatic and historical in nature, using the method of systemic and linguistic interpretation.

Datio ob rem and datio ob causam – the purpose of performance in Roman law

Summary This paper deals with one of the most important unjustified enrichment claims in Roman law, the condictio causa data causa non secuta concentrating on the crucial issue of the purpose of performance. In Roman law the purpose of performance was denoted by the term res as a part of datio ob rem (giving for a purpose) or causa as a part of datio ob causam (giving on a basis); however, in the secondary literature there is a dispute over the exact meaning of those terms and their mutual relationship. Some scholars identify res with the counter-performance which was expected from the recipient. Others consider this interpretation of res as too narrow, because datio ob rem was applied not only where the giver expected counter-performance but also when he tried to achieve other goals, including that not associated with the recipient’s behaviour at all. In order to find a solution to that long-lasting dispute the article analyses typical examples of cases described in the sources as datio ob rem or datio ob causam.

The 7-Round Subspace Trail-Based Impossible Differential Distinguisher of Midori-64

This paper analyzes the subspace trail of Midori-64 and uses the propagation law and mutual relationship of the subspaces of Midori-64 to provide a 6-round Midori-64 subspace trail-based impossible differential key recovery attack. The data complexity of the attack is 2 54.6 chosen plaintexts, and the computational complexity is 2 58.2 lookup operations. Its overall complexity is less than that of the known 6-round truncated impossible differential distinguisher. This distinguisher is also applicable to Midori-128 with a secret S -box. Additionally, utilizing the properties of subspaces, we prove that a subspace trail-based impossible differential distinguisher of Midori-64 contains at most 7 rounds. This is 1 more than the upper bound of Midori-64’s truncated impossible differential distinguisher which is 6. According to the Hamming weights of the starting and ending subspaces, we classify all 7-round Midori-64 subspace trail-based impossible differential distinguishers into two types and they need 2 59.6 and 2 51.4 chosen plaintexts, respectively.

QUALITATIVE COMPONENT IN THE WORK OF PROCEDURAL ENTITIES AS A FACTOR OF EFFICIENCY OF CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Every human activity, regardless of its nature, type and other specifics, strives to achieve the highest possible efficiency. In that sense, it is necessary to observe the tendency of the efficiency of criminal proceedings in terms of clarifying and resolving certain criminal matters, as well as making a court decision. The efficiency of the criminal procedure is directly manifested and articulated through the criminal procedure activities that are undertaken by the criminal procedure subjects during the realization of the criminal procedure task. The intention of the authors is to recognize, identify and emphasize the key or most important aspects of the qualitative component in the work of the main and secondary criminal procedure subjects on which the efficiency of the criminal procedure directly depends. Also, attention and interest are focused on the mutual relationship, interaction and opposition of two tendencies, namely tendencies of efficiency of criminal procedure and tendencies of protection of basic human rights and freedoms with special reference to meeting the standard of proof in different phases of undertaking criminal proceedings.

Identification of Critical Factors Influencing Prefabricated Construction Quality and Their Mutual Relationship

Prefabricated construction quality can not only influence the service life and function of buildings, but is also closely associated with the users’ safety. Therefore, effective quality management is significant for the development of this type of construction method in this industry. The current research regarding quality management in the field of construction mainly focuses on on-site construction, while lacking extensive attention to prefabricated construction. Based on the existing literature and expert opinions from the construction firms, the government, and academia, this paper summarizes 23 critical factors that affect the quality management of prefabricated construction, adopts the interpretation structure model-matrix cross-reference multiplication applied to a classification (ISM-MICMAC) to analyze the hierarchical relationship between these factors, and further investigates the influence degree of the relationship by using the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). The result shows that the government guidance is the most important influencing factor, and other factors, including integration in the supply chain, laws and regulations, codes and standards for prefabricated components, technology, and professional personnel, etc., also play a critical role in the quality management of prefabricated construction. These factors can affect the quality of raw materials for the production, manufacturing and transport equipment of prefabricated components through assembly and design schemes, ultimately resulting in an influence on the quality of prefabricated construction. The study aims to identify a mutual relationship between the critical factors affecting prefabricated construction quality, which can help managers to have a better understanding of the quality of prefabricated construction, and take effective measures to improve the status quo as well as promote the sustainable development of prefabricated construction.

Interplay between Gut Lymphatic Vessels and Microbiota

Lymphatic vessels play a distinctive role in draining fluid, molecules and even cells from interstitial and serosal spaces back to the blood circulation. Lymph vessels of the gut, and especially those located in the villi (called lacteals), not only serve this primary function, but are also responsible for the transport of lipid moieties absorbed by the intestinal mucosa and serve as a second line of defence against possible bacterial infections. Here, we briefly review the current knowledge of the general mechanisms allowing lymph drainage and propulsion and will focus on the most recent findings on the mutual relationship between lacteals and intestinal microbiota.
