Friends with benefits?! A comparative view on legal standing to challenge board decisionsThis article argues that, with respect to formal private company law enforcement, a balance is required between legal accommodation of the context of pluralism of interests, surrounding companies, and corporate managerial autonomy. This balance is primarily construed through standing rules. Consequently, the enforcement mechanisms, existing in UK, Belgian, French and Dutch company law, that allow (minority) shareholders and/or third parties to affect board decisions’ substance, are compared. This particular scope shows that, contrary to conventional wisdom, UK company law apparently offers less enforcement opportunities than the continental European countries studied. This novel finding ties in with the interplay between standing, remedy and harm. While UK enforcement actions potentially lead to various remedies and standing is determined by qualifying harm, continental European company law systems typically determine standing in function of a certain remedy. Finally, the article lays bare the risks in respect of the aforementioned balance. It is submitted that the UK prefers to refuse meritorious claims over admitting unmeritorious ones, a preference that is taken to extremes as regards third parties. Belgian, French and Dutch company law instead prefer to allow potential unmeritorious claims by all interested parties, potentially inciting overzealous litigation that interferes with managerial decisions.
LATER GREEK LITERATURE: IMPERIAL PERIOD – LATE ANTIQUITY – EARLY BYZANTIUM, Athens 2019, pp. 900. A rich selection of authors, genres and works from the first to the mid-seventh centuries AD, offering representative passages in the original Greek and in Modern Greek translation, with substantial introductions and commentaries. Η αυτοκρατορική περίοδος, η ύστερη αρχαιότητα και η πρώιµη βυζαντινή εποχή συνιστούν µια γοητευτική και ιδιαιτέρως ελκυστική περιοχή της παλαιότερης ελληνικής γραµµατείας, η οποία δεν έχει ακόµη καταστεί ευρύτερα γνωστή στην έκταση και στον βαθµό που θα της άξιζε. Πρόκειται για το χρονικό διάστηµα από τη Nαυµαχία του Ακτίου (31 π.Χ.) έως περίπου το τέλος του εβδόµου αιώνα µ.Χ. Η περίοδος αυτή χαρακτηρίστηκε αφενός από την τελευταία µεγάλη άνθηση της ελληνικής εθνικής (παγανιστικής) λογοτεχνίας στο κρατικό πλαίσιο της ρωµαϊκής πλέον αυτοκρατορίας, αφετέρου από την παράλληλη εµφάνιση και ραγδαία ανάπτυξη της χριστιανικής γραµµατείας, η σηµασία της οποίας ολοένα µεγάλωνε µε το πέρασµα των αιώνων. Στο σύνολό της, η ελληνική γραµµατεία των αυτοκρατορικών χρόνων, της ύστερης αρχαιότητας και του πρώιµου Βυζαντίου συγκροτεί µια ρωµαλέα, εκτεταµένη και συχνότατα ρηξικέλευθη πνευµατική παραγωγή, η οποία βρίσκεται σε γόνιµο διάλογο µε την παράδοση, την οποία και ανανεώνει µε ποικίλους τρόπους. Παράλληλα, η ελληνική γραµµατεία της περιόδου αυτής προσφέρει πολύτιµες πληροφορίες για την κρίσιµη περίοδο µετάβασης του ελληνισµού από την αρχαία στη µεσαιωνική φάση της ύπαρξής του.

In Morality and Socially Constructed Norms, Laura Valentini argues that moral obligations to respect social norms can be explained without invoking the concept of 'joint commitment.' Her resulting account is, in one important sense, individualistic, and therefore struggles to account for widely held intuitions about the normative significance of social norms. I argue that we can rescue the notion of joint commitment from Valentini's objections, and incorporate it into a version of her account that preserves its insights.

By entering the habitats of wild animals, wildlife watchers may get up close and personal with them. It is true that getting near to all wild creatures is not always safe. As a result, we propose this wildlife monitoring robot using IOT. Users may watch live activities using their android phones. So, by using this robotic vehicle, wildlife observers may get up and personal with wild creatures. An ESP32 is used in this system. The system receives these orders using a Wi-Fi module. We required our robot to be able to move silently and purposefully when monitoring a natural target without being recognised as we developed the technology to allow our robot to deal with the problems of keeping constant surveillance of a target. The data is subsequently processed by the microprocessor, which then sends signals to the motors to operate them. The motors are now operated by the driver motors, which provide necessary signal outputs to drive the vehicle movement.
Scripta Theologica
Desafíos de la crítica textual a la exégesis, la teología y la pastoral2022 •
El estudio del texto bíblico está experimentado una profunda revolución que está cambiando el paradigma de la crítica textual y la misma comprensión de dicho texto. Dado que este cambio de paradigma tiene consecuencias importantes para la exégesis, la teología y la pastoral, el presente estudio se pregunta en qué consiste y de qué forma afecta a la explicación del texto bíblico, a la reflexión teológica y a la lectura creyente. Su objetivo es plantear un debate sobre algunas de las implicaciones que tiene este cambio de perspectiva para todas estas actividades en las que el texto bíblico ocupa un lugar central.
