The constitutional right to an effective remedy in the digital age: a perspective from Europe

The consolidation of the digital age has expanded the demand for justice. The challenges characterising digital relationships have led European policy makers to wonder about the opportunity to introduce new safeguards to ensure the right to effective remedies as enshrined in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. On the one hand, this approach has triggered the proliferation of new procedures, thus expanding potential remedies. On the other hand, the introduction of new remedies increases fragmentation and uncertainty about their access and functioning. This work examines the challenges for the right to an effective remedy raised by the proliferation of intertwined remedies in three key pieces of European digital regulation – the General Data Protection Regulation, the Digital Services Act, and the Artificial Intelligence Act. Particularly, we assess the three key avenues for remedies, namely internal complaints, independent supervision and judicial remedies. Based on this assessment, we underline the need for further clarity in the interplay between the remedial designs, central to which will be the focus on institutional collaboration across the emerging remedial frameworks.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Krajinný ráz v CHKO Biele Karpaty

The landscape character has become a topical issue in many European countries in the 90's as well as in the Czech Republic. Since this period a lot of scientists and specialists of various branches have solved problems of the landscape character, the question of its terminology and evaluation. The master thesis is especially about the landscape character assessment (further only LCA). This question has been solved till today, also due to a new building law in the Czech Republic from 2006. The admission of this law means for the authorities of nature and landscape protection the statutory duty of including conditions of the protection of landscape character into the documents of territorial planning. A few methodologies of the LCA on the different area levels have been developed. The aim of the master thesis is a proposal of the methodology of the LCA and its application in the model area in the southwestern part of the Biele Karpaty Mountains (White Carphathians) in Western Slovakia. The model area is interesting because of an unique cultural landscape created by human activities and settlement during several centuries. In consequence of the social and the cultural diversity, the variety of folklore speech as well as due to typical kind of dispersed settlement ("crofts") the Landscape Protected Area Biele...Department of Physical Geography and GeoecologyKatedra fyzické geografie a geoekologieFaculty of SciencePřírodovědecká fakult

Hodnotenie a zmeny v rozšírení nelesnej drevinovej vegetácie v krajine

Non-forest woody vegetation is an important landscape feature of agricultural/rural landscape. Ph.D. thesis deals with evaluation of current state of non-forest woody vegetation, historical development and changes in configuration and composition in landscape. Non-forest woody vegetation was investigated in two physical-geographical different model areas (Kutnohorsko Region and White Carpathians). The thesis is based on own data collected in the field and digitized on historical aerial photos and current ortho-photos. After that, data were analyzed in relation to natural conditions and changes of landscape structure since 50s of 20th century until present. Comparing both model areas, assumed differences in character of non-forest woody vegetation, species composition, dominated type as well as relation to habitats/locations were confirmed. However, rapid changes of landscape structure in the last 60 years were caused by the same driving forces such as re-allotment, mechanization and intensification of agriculture. After 1989, processes such extensification of agriculture and land abandonment played the main role in landscape, especially in mountain regions. The second aim of the Ph.D. thesis was to identify changes in spatial configuration of non- forest woody vegetation in two...Nelesná drevinová vegetácia predstavuje významný krajinotvorný a ekostabilizačný prvok krajiny. V literatúre sa často označuje tiež ako rozptýlená či mimolesná zeleň. Nelesná drevinová vegetácia má nesmierny význam pre optimálne fungovanie intenzívne poľnohospodársky využívanej krajiny, pretože plní mnoho dôležitých funkcií v krajine. Predložená dizertačná práca sa zaoberá hodnotením súčasného stavu nelesnej drevinovej vegetácie a jej vzťahu k fyzicko-geografickým, príp. sociálno-ekonomickým podmienkam, jej historickým vývojom v zmysle zmien plošného zastúpenia a priestorových vzťahov v krajine. Na tieto účely boli vybrané dve fyzicko-geograficky odlišné lokality (územie na Kutnohorsku a v Bielych Karpatoch). Práca vychádza z vlastných dát získaných zberom v teréne (aktuálny stav) a digitalizáciou historických leteckých snímok a súčasných ortofotosnímok (plošný vývoj). Takto získané dáta boli ďalej analyzované vo vzťahu k podmienkam prostredia a k zmenám krajinnej štruktúry, ktoré sa udiali od 50. rokov 20. storočia až do súčasnosti. Porovnaním oboch území sa zistilo, že existujú určité odlišnosti v charaktere nelesnej drevinovej vegetácie v druhovom zložení, v prevládajúcom type či väzbe na stanovište. Analýzami historických zmien v plošnom rozsahu nelesnej drevinovej vegetácie boli zistené...Department of Physical Geography and GeoecologyKatedra fyzické geografie a geoekologieFaculty of SciencePřírodovědecká fakult

Higher early than late-season residue load of pesticides in honey bee bread in Slovakia

Bees are often exposed to pesticide residues during their foraging trips in agricultural landscapes. The analysis of in-hive stored pollen reflects the spectrum of visited plants and can be almost used to link the exposure to pesticides.In the current study, bee bread samples were collected in May and July from 17 sites located in southern Slovakia. Samples were analysed using a multi-residue pesticide analysis method for a broad spectrum of active substances and microscopic for pollen identification.Our results revealed a bee bread contamination with 19 different active substances, with fungicides being predominant. Sixteen of them are authorized in the EU, but chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, and chloridazon are not. The highest concentrations for pendimethalin (1400 μg/ kg), fluazifop-butyl (640 μg/kg), fenpropidin (520 μg/kg), fluopyram (130 μg/kg), and difenoconazole (95 μg/ kg) were detected. The total residue load in bee bread sampled in the early season (May) was significantly higher than in the late season (July). The mean residue load of insecticides analysed in July comprised 46% of May’s load, which is alarming due to the importance of bee bread in the diet for winter-rearing bees. Moreover, results from both sampling periods showed that fungicides were positively associated with plant families Apiaceae and Papaveraceae and herbicides with Aceraceae, Salicaceae, and Brassica-type/Brassicaceae.Hence, bee bread can be considered a suitable matrix and a good bio-indicator reflecting honey bee exposure to pesticides over the season

ANALYSIS OF STATIC ANGLE OF REPOSE WITH RESPECT TO POWDER MATERIAL PROPERTIES

This paper investigates the Angle of Repose (AoR) of powder materials with respect to their morphological and rheological properties. Glass beads, sand, flour and semolina of different particle sizes were used as the experimental materials. The investigated material was analysed with respect to particle shape and size. The rheological properties of the material were obtained by a shear cell test. The AoR was analysed in terms of cohesion, bulk density, particle size and circularity. More cohesive materials such as the flour samples exhibited the largest AoR > 40°, indicating their poor flowability. Glass bead samples with a high circularity value had significantly lower AoR than the flour. The Angle of Internal Friction values were not dependent on those of the AoR. Using a dimensional analysis, a mathematical model was developed to determine the AoR values based on the material properties. By the application of this model, highly accurate calculation of the value of AoR is made possible
