This edited volume aims to enrich the study of the Court of Justice of the EU by providing normative—as opposed to descriptive—assessments of its legal reasoning. Taking as a starting point a descriptive account of the Court’s adjudicative practice, which informs a shared conceptual basis from which the various contributions move, the volume offers a diverse collection of normative assessments of
The book’s aim is to systematize normative assessments of the Court of Justice of the European Union’s decision-making process, defining ‘normative’ as an evaluation based on openly acknowledged, theoretically informed standards that take into account the institutional reality of the Court. This is important because the stakes are very high: the Court is a very influential institution, and the mot
In this concluding chapter, we draw together the threads of the different assessments carried out by the contributors and propose directions for future research. After a brief overview of the content of the chapters, we revisit and complicate the initial taxonomy we offered, attempting to suggest instead a more abstract classification that could serve as a basis for future assessments. Moreover, w
Among the many EU law doctrines, none remains as largely uncontroversial as the fundamental normative division between us, the EU citizens at the centre of the legal order and the others, non-EU migrants. Next to the Treaty framework and the different legal bases for free movement of persons and migration, the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU has been central in sustaining the dividing l
Five moulded terracotta votive heads from Tessennano, Te 1-5, three terracotta sarcophagi from Tuscania, Tu 1-3, two terracotta votive heads from Vulci, Vu 1-2 and three votive heads from Tarquinia, Ta 1-3 are presented in this study. They are included in a larger ongoing research and have been dated to the late third and second centuries B.C. Moulds deriving from the same handmade prototype, henc
While sought for over a century, the birth of the distinctive bucket-shaped ceramic technology on the Scandinavian Peninsula has been overshadowed by its enigmatic senescence or ‘death’ in the sixth century AD. This omnipresent Migration Period container was in use for two centuries, from the mid-fourth to the mid-sixth centuries AD, spreading quickly and widely from the western region to the east
Abstract:Concomitant chronic widespread pain (CWP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) continues to be a problem despite modern pharmacological treatment. The overall aim was to investigate factors involved in chronic widespread pain in rheumatoid arthritis.Study I, compared patients with early RA (duration ≤12 months), in a tight control cohort, with conventionally managed patients. The pa
We propose data-driven surrogate models to solve systems of time-dependent differential equations coupled with noise. Using a feedforward neural network, we separately learn the noise and solution, tackling approximations across regimes with bifurcations and rare events. Focusing on irregular data generated by a stochastic noise model on a one-dimensional spatial lattice coupled to a differential
The low water flux and high production cost of ceramic membranes for vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) are among the factors limiting their feasibility for desalination applications. To address this challenge, highly permeable anodic alumina membranes were modified and evaluated for their properties in VMD using a highly permeable support. Owing to the nanostructures on its surface, the anodic al
Recently, mass spectrometry based peptidomics studies have proven useful in the identification of biomarkers and bioactive peptide-based therapeutics. Here, we present a dataset comprised of temporal wound fluid peptidomics data from highly defined porcine models. Wound fluids from porcine wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and uninfected controls, were sampled
Att vid ett tillfälle avgöra positionen för en ensam ljudkälla, i en omgivning med mikrofoner utspridda på kända positioner, kan göras med multilaterering, genom uppskattade ankomsttidskillnader (TDOA, time-difference-of-arrival).TDOA uppskattad med korskorrelation är emellertid brusig i verkliga miljöer, och metoder för robust multilaterering måste kunna hantera avvikande värden. Att som begränsnThe momentary localization of a single sound source, in an environment with microphones distributed at known positions, can be done with multilateration, using time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) estimates. However, TDOA estimates from cross-correlation are noisy in real environments, and a robust multilateration method must handle outliers. Assuming constraints on the smoothness of movement over
This chapter explores the HBO-produced Polish television series The Border (Wataha 2014–2019). The series is examined as an example of what the author terms feel-bad Euro-noir. The analysis delves into the complex use of locations, particularly the Bieszczady Mountains, and the depiction of the Polish-Ukrainian border, which marks the eastern edge of the European Union. These settings are dissecte
Background: Racial differences in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) genomes have not yet been fully studied. We aimed to investigate transcriptomic, mutational, and clinical differences by race in a large multi-institutional cohort of men with mCRPC. Methods: Genomic and clinicopathologic data from four mCRPC tumor biopsy cohorts were obtained and aggregated. Gene set enrichm
Language anxiety (LA) is among the most researched emotions in language learning research. Mirroring the recent dynamic turn in the broader field, LA researchers are increasingly interested in the situation-specific and dynamic nature of anxiety (Elahi Shirvan & Taherian, 2021; MacIntyre, 2017). In practice, this must be accompanied by a movement towards methodologies sensitive to potential dy
We report the synthesis of bell-shaped Bi/Bi13S18Br2 metal/semiconductor heterostructures as a photocatalyst based on nontoxic and Earth-abundant elements. Their unique morphology arises from a multistep growth process, involving (1) the nucleation of Bi13S18Br2 nanorods, (2) the reduction of a metallic-Bi domain on their surface induced by N,N-didodecylmethylamine, and (3) the heterostructure acc
Spine Computed Tomography (SCT) is essential for identifying fractures, tumors and degenerative spine diseases, assisting medical practitioners in formulating an accurate diagnosis and treatment. One of the core element of SCT is reporting. The effectiveness of spine reporting is often limited by challenges such as an inadequate infrastructure and lack of experts. Automated SCT analysis has the po
