Dear colleagues and researchers,
Our research group from Federal Paraná University (UFPR), Brazil, is currently working in partnership with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany on a research project focused on floating photovoltaic (FPV) plants installed in reservoirs. Therefore, we would like to find specific legislation or regulations for FPV installation that could exist in your respective countries around the world. If anyone has some information that could be helpful to our research, we would be very grateful if you can contact us.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Relevant answer
Thank you very much for your insights!
We thought about asking directly the authors and researchers working on this topic because we are having some difficulties accessing some web pages and also finding the specific legislation that is published in the original language of the countries.
But these are nice options, we certainly are going to try them, thank you again.
Best regards.

According to the Regulation, issued by the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/833, it is not allowed to produce insect biomass on manure and catering wastes. Is it because of potential contamination of these wastes with deleterious chemicals, like pesticides, antibiotics, and endocrine disruptors (which can be applied in farming processes and in kitchens), or because of potential contaminations with pathogens, which is common for agricultiral animals and human? This legislative restriction significantly reduce the opportunity of the recycling of the valuable compounds (fat, amino acids etc.) from the by-products. So, I want to understand, what can we do in order to make the by-product save for recycling by means of insects, earthworms and other invertebrates? For instance, we can use manure from animals, which are free from pharmaceutical usage (I mean veterinary treatments), or we can thermally sterilize the by-products to prevent the propagation of human pathogens.
Relevant answer
Answer
It is a pity that the insect sector cannot use some abundant waste streams so far (e.g. post-consumer food waste or manures), due to risks involved. However, I believe this (and other) sector(s) will only be properly stimulated to grow, for real, when these restrictions end.
In order to make things safer I think we should focus on some topics in research, such as evaluating the inactivation of pathogens and final concentrations of those when feeding insects (and other invertebrates) with contaminated substrates; finding out how the post-processing of the resulting products (e.g. larval biomass and fertiliser) affect the safety of those (for instance how the heat involved in producing insect meal/oil ends up sanitising the materials and how pelletization does that also); how to optimize the mechanisms behind the sanitisation needed in those products and even within the waste bioconversion process itself; and evaluate what accumulates and how it accumulates (metals, pesticides, etc) in those animals.
The ban on catering (post-consumer) waste for insects must be taken down as soon as possible, as it is one of the main waste sources for the insect sectors, considering its limited possibilities for use.

How can the legislator balance the interests and rights of individuals and achieve the public interest at the same time?
Relevant answer
Answer
The legislator can balance the interests and rights of individuals and achieve the public interest by carefully considering and weighing the potential impact of the law on all parties involved. This may involve consulting with stakeholders, conducting research and analysis, and taking into account factors such as privacy, liberty, and collective bargaining rights. The legislator should aim to create policies that empower individuals to live with dignity and freedom while also promoting the common good and addressing societal challenges . It is a delicate balancing act, and often requires making difficult decisions and trade-offs. However, the goal should always be to reach a balanced approach that best serves the interests of all involved.

I gained a sample of 33 respondents who evaluated 13 dimensions of a topic surveyed.
21-level evaluation scale was used. As I understand, I should use some non-parametric tests like U Mann-Whitney to determine whether these results by each dimension are statistically significant or not. Which test(s) could you recommend to properly assess these results?
The survey issue is a restrictions' severity on human activities within 13 types of zones of protected areas (0 points - mildest restrictions, 20 points - most severe restrictions). Each respondent has been acquainted with these sets established by legislative acts.
I attached xslx file below.
Relevant answer
Answer
OK, then I would personally use a paired-samples t-test, because you have rating scales with many response options (not like usual Likert scales). If you have a reason to expect something like a linear or quadratic trend across these dimensions, you could use repeated measures ANOVA (the dimension should then be numbered in some logical order). This test would have more power than pairwise comparisons of each dimension with each (and the latter would suffer from the problem of multiple significance testing, whereby you get 1 random significant result per 20 tests conducted).

Taking the notion of Galilean Science, as explained by Klaus Jaffe in his book, What is Science, Law today can be considered a scientific field. Legislation, statutory norms, do not use reality as a parameter, nor do they suffer the consequences of it. Empirical studies of law are an exception. Experimentation is even more so. To answer the question whether Law is a Science is to start treating it as if it were. That is why my interest is in Experimental Law.
Relevant answer
Answer
Rhetorical question: What is science? How do you determine what real is as object or subject? What is a scientific method? Does law apply scientific methods in investigating a phenomenon? Experimentation as in objective or subjective reality? Can this question be compared with what is the difference between political science and politics conversely?

With the increase in cases of attacks on journalists in the Arab world in general and the occupied State of Palestine in particular. Is there a glimmer of hope to legislate binding international rules that limit the violation of the sanctity of journalists and not prevent them from exercising their role by revealing the facts and communicating information to the international community about any violations of human rights law?
Relevant answer
With the presence of international and non-international organizations concerned with the rights of journalists, but they still record cases of violations against journalists, and we should not forget what the Israeli forces have done in the cold-blooded killing of journalist Shireen Abu Aqila, a journalist affiliated with one of the well-known news stations. We regret that the texts related to the protection of journalists are ineffective and do not impose penalties for those who violate these scattered texts in international charters and laws. And with the presence of Reporters Without Borders and the International Federation of Journalists in addition to regional and international organizations. However, silencing is still the norm. We hope to legislate an international convention to protect journalists and be binding on all countries, even if they do not ratify it..

  • Does normative legal philosophy also have a potential critical function vis-à-vis existing, empirically provable injustice where the injustice is not so much promoted or brought about by discriminatory laws, incorrect court rulings or actions contrary to human rights in the sense of an ideology, but rather by legislative and political laissez-faire or even omission (cf. e.g. mediterranean migrant crisis, anthropogenic climate change or pandemics)? From my point of view, this should be the case (but where is it explicitly stated and conceptually discussed?).
  • Which concepts from the field of normative legal philosophy/ legal ethics could be used to transparently and rationally criticise such state and supranational omissions from a normative perspective? Should new concepts of legal ethics be developed, can existing concepts be adapted? Who are the primary addressees? From my point of view, the minimum connection between law, serving as the basis of state action, and justice, which can be assessed against Radbruch's formula, enables a normative evaluation of state and supranational omissions, but also provides the contours for corresponding (political) duties to act.
What is your opinion regarding these issues?
Some legal philosophical approaches to these questions can be found in my paper "Extreme Wrong Committed by National and Supranational Inactivity: Analyzing the Mediterranean Migrant Crisis and Climate Change from a Legal Philosophical Perspective", Göttingen 2021.

I believe legal theory is a tremendous force in the identification of those gaps in legislation. I see legislators all over the planet engaged in the erosion of democratic processes because they are trapped into their own epistemological limitations. Fundamental rights are more than ever under siege, and to move forward into producing a legal theory that identifies the limitations of what has been done so far is badly needed. The functional disconnect between the mandates of international law and national realities is blastering.

Media (online) self-regulation cannot succeed in a repressive environment. However, where is the freedom media guaranteed, self-regulation can help preserve and protect media independence from government interference. So how to offer appropriate corrections in the digital age? The guidelines issued by the Finnish Press Council on fairness are very interesting corrections, and most other press councils agree with them. The guidelines are as follows: - The media should not correct a fake online story by removing it or hers by substituting it with another story; - The media should correct the story and make it clear that there was a mistake in the previous article; - The media should provide a link between the corrected article and the article with the error. In the UK, the principles set out in the Editor’s Code of Practice must be at the center of the journalistic approach to using materials obtained from social media sites networks.

Big Data, targeted advertising, medical diagnosis systems, etc. use methods of automatically generating decision trees by recursively searching for criteria that can be used to incrementally reduce uncertainty. These methods can span many dimensions without suffering from the "curse of dimensionality."
An application that I have yet to encounter is to use these methods to: a) analyze social problems and their causes; then b) use the resultant decision trees to write legislation that can adapt to many distinct situations - getting away from "one size fits all" overly simplified laws and regulations.; and c) in the execution of the law use the decision trees to decide on: 1) filing charges or not, 2) severity of the penalties, and 3) appropriate remedial follow up.
There are too many cases of overly simple laws that were intended to ensnare major criminal behavior being applied to citizens who are honest and law abiding, but who are subjected to onerous red tape or investigations simply because some element of their activities or appearances innocently triggers certain criteria that makes them subjects worthy of investigation or inquiry.

-Financial (state subsidies for starting a business, providing soft loans, state guarantees for creating and developing an enterprise, financing investment, innovative projects, etc.)
-Property (state and local governments create modern business incubators and techno-parks in which small enterprises can develop, the state transfers its property, premises, land, equipment for temporary or permanent use to entrepreneurs, leasing is offered on favorable terms)
-Information (the state creates resources (sites or information stands) for the exchange of business information, general information distribution systems, organizes information seminars and advertising stands, industry and intersectoral exhibitions, at which potential partners can find suppliers and buyers)
-Educational (the state develops special educational programs aimed at developing entrepreneurship skills for various segments of the population, creates conditions and programs for improving professional knowledge in the field of conducting and managing a business, and organizes training seminars and lectures)
-Consulting (the state creates and maintains centers providing consulting services on organizing, promoting development and particularities of doing business, and also compensates entrepreneurs for the costs of services of such organizations)
Legislative (the state simplifies legislation and reduces the number of procedures for registering an enterprise, reduces and simplifies the tax and administrative burden (reduces the number of forms and types of reporting), introduces preferential tax treatment for small and medium-sized enterprises).

Question
16 answers
Trout and other salmonid taxonomies are still in a chaotic state and in many respects have advanced little since the 19th Century. Salmonids are renowned for their phenotypic plasticity expressed under different environmental conditions. This high plasticity in many morphological characters and life histories is such that almost any population will be found to differ from other populations especially if only a few populations are compared. Yet such characters are the basis of many species descriptions. Some claim to be following the Evolutionary Species Concept (ESC) of Simpson (1951), where “An evolutionary species is a lineage evolving separately from others and with its own unitary role and tendencies”. Evidence for the ESC is provided by morphological differences that are adaptive in nature (my emphasis), i.e., by definition have a genetic basis (Simpson, 1961). Yet many simply assume that the morphological differences that they use have a genetic and adaptive basis without further investigation even though heritability may be extremely low or absent. In that respect their approach is purely phenetic.
Since most conservation legislation is species-based accurate taxonomy is key to conservation of salmonid biodiversity. Bad taxonomy can kill by failing to recognise a population as a distinct taxon and thus it does not receive the conservation attention it requires. On the other, it can result in wasted conservation resources if the taxon is based on purely environmentally-induced differences and is simply part of a more widespread species of lesser concern. Some 51 species of Salmo trouts are currently recognised in FishBase and recent publications, including several in recent years. Most trout species have been classified on colouration, spotting pattern, occurrence of parr marks in adults, dentition, scale counts, and body measurements. In many, but not all situations, these characters are subject to environmental modulation with the effects of phenotypic plasticity and adaptation being difficult to disentangle. Body measurements are, in some cases, converted to ratios of standard length, but this approach has long been regarded as inappropriate due to allometric growth. Often insufficient specimens and populations are examined to give a true picture of intra- and inter-population variability.
An important criterion in taxonomy is that the characters used to define a species can be used to identify individuals to that species with ≥ 99% of individuals being correctly assigned (Mayr, 1963), either using molecular approaches or genetically based life history and morphological differences. Etheridge et al (2012) found that the power of supposedly diagnostic morphological characters to identify individuals of three putative Coregonus species was low (27%) due to the species descriptions being based on a few specimens, and as a result of phenotypic plasticity.
Given that a reference sequence is available for brown trout and that the determination of full genomic sequences is now relatively straightforward, is there any reason why a DNA sequence in an appropriate depository cannot be the name-bearing type sequence for a species? Linked to the type nuclear sequence should be DNA specimens, which can be used for further study. Once isolated, it can be stored nearly indefinitely. DNA can be easily shared for secure, multi-site curation. Since it takes up little space and can be stored at room temp there is no reason why all national museums should not be involved in such curation. Mitochondrial DNA sequences, while much easier to obtain, are problematic due to the potential for horizontal transfer and the linkage of genes. There are several examples of incongruence between nuclear and mtDNA. Use of only part of the nuclear genome could also be potentially problematic due to differentiation between some closely related trout being present in localised genomic ‘islands’. Sufficient DNA sequences to represent intra-specific variability would be required. Clearly international collaboration would be required to cover the entire Salmo trout range and a meaningful number of specimens. Do others consider this a potential way forward and what are the possible difficulties involved? Or is the real question whether conservation legislation should be species-based in the first place but instead be focused on populations, or groups of populations, as in North America using Evolutionarily Significant Units or Designatable Units?
Relevant answer
Answer
I don't think any revision of the ICZN is needed.
Regarding the morpological vs. molecular conundrum, the value of a deposited specimen mostly resides in the wealth of undescribed information that its biological structure potentially contains. We simply don't know what further information can be gleaned from a preserved specimen.
Therefore, no improvement could come from replacing a part of this structure with another. Tissue samples for molecular analyses and genomic sequences can be simply added to the lot including the morphological specimens (that could also be preserved with different methods; e.g., both formalin- and ethanol-fixed), as well as any other documentation (e.g., photos of freshly dead or anaesthetised specimens, morphometric measurements previous to fixation, X-rays, ecological notes, environmental data on the habitat). This is already common practice in several large museums, though it is obviously left to the individual researcher depositing the lot. Encouraging this practice is certainly commendable.
Therefore, I would not see any improvement in replacing morphological specimens with genetic/genomic sequences. On the other hand, I think that a considerable improvement may come from preserving and depositing morphological specimens of populations that genomic analyses have demonstrated to be reliable evolutionary units. The deposition of such material, both morphological and molecular, could certainly be a strong basis for defining a taxonomic and/or conservation unit, something the conservation biology of salmonids urgently needs.

I see the lapses in that point and that it is ironic that some educational institutions are better and very hard working dealing on their research activities and publications and yet their studies are minimally recognized by their government for policy making and protocols, in which, in this way, the idea or the effort of scholars doing such ingenuity will be usable as it get beneficiaries in hand. Studying is not that easy, why not support or maybe the university or educational institution must endorse their research products to nearby jurisdictional policy makers for the better and best of the community in nearby future. I am just wondering why that research products are treated that way not on the exact way that studies and experiment of these experts must be commended for being excellent in such field they had chosen as proven by the research studies they have done. Is it because it lacks support from their respective government? Is it because their government does not appreciate the efforts of their research scholars and enthusiasts? Or maybe, Do these research products are not totally important in the political maneuvers of their place?

Hi Bhaswan!
An interesting question, but as practice shows, pharmaceutical companies are not interested in pharmacogenomic research of their own drugs, since this can lead to a limitation of the market for their drugs and a decrease in revenue (except for narrow areas where knowledge of genetic characteristics is necessary at the stage of choosing a specific drug, for example, targeted therapy in oncology).

Under the Philippine Constitution, freedom of speech and expression are rights accorded to persons but are not absolute. These may be subject to regulation or censure by the State itself through the exercise of its police power. "A valid exercise of police power by the State will allow it to interfere with constitutionally protected rights – including the right of freedom of expression and of the press. Although police power has no definition, case law has clearly and consistently shown that it may be invoked in all aspects of modern day life provided that the requisites of the Constitution and Law are observed.
Fundamentally then, the freedom of expression can be validly and legally regulated by the state since police power is so awesome that it has been used to implement or enforce public safety measures [9] , public morals [10] , and the general welfare [11] .

in the US, it's the developer who has to make that investment decision, by adding storage (BESS) to a PV plant. In fact, the combo has much better economics as the storage can control and improve the power output of the raw PV. The PV funding typically comes from signing power purchase agreement (PPA). Then, the developer uses the PPA to attract the funding from the external investors. The combo gets paid via PPA and the market prices at the node, based on electricity market rules. Does it help?

IDPs means internally displaced persons. However the African Union has enacted a Convention on the Protection and Assistance of IDPs in Africa. Then I am looking at the state parties obligation and responsibility to the Convention which they have ratified and not domesticated as a national legislation with particular reference to internally displaced persons in Nigeria.
Relevant answer
Answer
@Leonard Opara: Recall that the Kampala Convention (2009) was an adoption of the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. In itself, the principles are a set of normative, non-binding/non-legal principles that have set the operational standard for addressing issues of internal displacement. They become legal only where national governments domesticate them into legislation. As it stands, Nigeria has not domesticated them. Although, in recognition of the growing number of the displaced population, government established a ministry for humanitarian assistance and relief, in addition to National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). But as it stands, the Ministry is far from addressing durable solutions for the displaced populations and their communities.

Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Yael,
Wind turbines emit a relatively weak but characteristic noise. The noise is mainly generated by the movement of the blades through the air. This produces a swishing sound in rate with the rotation of the blades, as well as noise from the turbine machinery.
Limits should only be placed on noise over a range of wind speeds up to 12 m/s when measured at 10 m height on the wind farm site, as faster wind speeds will typically mask the noise produced by a wind farm. Separate noise limits should apply for day-time and night-time.
Turbines are audible from distances as great as 2 km only in ideal conditions; when there is very little wind where the listener is, but sufficient wind where the turbines are on a ridge-top to power them.
Peer-reviewed studies have found that living near wind turbines does not pose a risk on human health. The studies looked at a range of health effects from hearing loss, nausea, and sleep disorders to dizziness, blood pressure, tinnitus, and more.
Noise guidelines
Unlike typical noise sources at licensed sites, wind turbine noise is directly related to wind speed. Wind turbine noise guidelines in Ireland are set out by the DoEHLG guidance and are based on the principle that turbine noise should be controlled with reference to fixed limits when background noise is low, or relative to background noise itself as it increases with wind speed, whichever is the greater. A common interpretation of these limits is that turbine attributable noise should be limited to:
1. 43 dB LA90 or 5 dB above background noise, whichever is the greater at NSL for night-time· hours
2. 45 dB LA90 or 5 dB above background noise , whichever is the greater at NSL for daytime hours 35 to 40 dB LA90 or 5 dB above background, whichever is the greater, at NSL for daytime· hours where background noise is less than 30 dB LA90
In this context, background noise is defined as a function of wind speed, over the relevant period (day or night) which is quantified by measurements prior to the site being built. It is important that such background noise measurements are referenced with wind speed at the hub height of the turbine(s) proposed, as it is this which sets the level of noise generated by the turbine.
WHO Guidelines
World Health Organisation Community Noise Guidelines, 1999 This guidance document recommends an external day-time limit of 55 dB LAeq to prevent serious annoyance during the daytime and evening, or 50 dB LAeq to prevent moderate annoyance, together with a night-time external noise limit of 45 dB LAeq to protect against sleep disturbance.
WHO Night Noise Guidelines for Europe
The World Health Organisation has recently published updated guidance on night-time noise levels designed to protect the public, based on external noise levels as averaged over a whole year xii. This recommends a target value of Lnight,outside of 40 dB where Lnight,outside is the external LAeq over a 1 year period xiii. It should be noted that this guideline limit is intended to cover noise from all sources at a specific location.
WHO guidelines for Holland
Holland Wind turbine noise is restricted to an Lden value of 47 dB and an Lnight value of 41 dB.
WHO for germany
Germany No specific wind turbine noise guidance is available so the following generic limits apply. iN genral it is 35 to 70 dB(night) and Day 50-70 dB.
WHO for Itly
A guidance document on wind turbine noise is currently being drafted but, until such time as this is available, the following generic limits apply: 40-70dB(night) and 50-70 in day for school, hospital, mixed activity, commercial and industrial etc.
Hope content is helpful for you.

4. contacting legislators, and
5. commenting to agencies about proposed administrative rulemaking.

Unfortunately, to get a real picture, it does get rather involved...
Not in any order.
1) You can contact individual campaigns (web sites) on participation (paid and volunteers) and donation information.
2) The different parties provide numbers for volunteers, staffs, etc. and donations.
3) The Federal Election Commission has numbers on reported donations.
4) The Poll volunteers would be from several sources, local and state election boards, as well as, individual parties for poll watchers.
5) The state election boards can also provide voting participation stats.
6) You also have to research PACs and specific issue oriented groups.
You do have to remember, small donations (don't recall the thresh hold amount) do not have to be individually recorded and can skew perceptions of what is actually going on.
And Lastly: https://uselectionatlas.org/ for actual election results which in reality, is the only participation poll that matters considering several groups have large numbers volunteering but have a low participation rate in voting.

I would like to discuss this matter with National Authorities of state parties to BWC, and analysts.

Answer
Perhaps you could read my paper entitled "The necessity to establish the Organisation for the Prohibition of Biological Weapons: A proposal for the future", published in 2012 in Public Organisation Review. You can find a copy in Google Academic.
Biological weapons are considered, by the international community, as a weapon of mass destruction. When the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) was negotiated during the 1960s and early 1970s, the negotiators considered unnecessary the establishment of an international organisation to supervise the implementation of the Convention’s provisions by the State parties. It is important to highlight that since the entry into force of the BWC, the international situation has significantly changed. For this reason, perhaps the moment has arrived to consider again the proposal of settling down such an organisation in the framework of the strengthening the BWC.

The relationship between ethical and legal aspects of medical intervention is complex, and seems to be particular in each country. I concur with Dr. Crewe that global legislation would be hard to enforce. The particular case of the ‘CRISPR babies’ actually illustrates this difficulty. The BBC news item does not explain the nature of the ‘government ban’ that justified his imprisonment, and as far as I know, previous international criticism had all been based on quite appropriate ethical considerations. Similar questions are also currently the subject of heated discussions regarding cell-based therapies.

What is the way forward for the current chaos in the U.S. concerning Emotional Support Animals? Legislation, research, education??
Relevant answer
Answer
In Europe, we do not have "emotional support animals" as they are seen in the States. It seems that a big game-changer in America would be if dogs were allowed more in restaurants and shops, as they are here in Europe (the only areas dogs aren't allowed are grocery stores, hospitals and anywhere where hygiene is a concern). We can all likely agree that emotional support animals should require more regulations (from legislation and mental health professionals) and training, as both of you have already pointed out. However, I think that if someone requires a dog to be with them at all times, they should be acquiring a service dog who has been properly trained. Owning an untrained dog can often lead to more situations causing the human to experience frustration, depression, anxiety and isolation - perhaps especially if the human already deals with a mental disorder (even more so if they are not experienced with dogs). As far as research is concerned, we researchers need to acknowledge the fact more in our work that we cannot make blanket statements. Each animal and human will not make each other happy, nor will those who have a great bond always get along every day - it is all much more individualistic and constantly changing than existing literature is making it out to be. Also, most research which addresses the "dogs make humans happier" angle are not necessarily using participants with mental disorders and untrained dogs. The research which exists is, for the most part, quite flawed and not acknowledging some fairly crucial information. More importance should also be placed on the welfare of the animal who is living with an individual with a mental disorder.

These two terms almost seem identical, but if for eg. I preserve something, I keep it at the same state that it was.
Although if I protect something it is probably either because that state is at risk or I don't want it to be at risk- (it's threatened).
The word to protect has been used in the environment subject from scientists, governments and the market. For example, the oil companies must preserve and protect the environment where they explore and exploit, although we often see them just protecting after they have disturbed the ecosystem.
Some times protecting can't bring the habitat to it's original state. That is why in my opinion, preserving should be the main focus.
Can you distinguish practises that preserve or protect the environment? eg. Policies and legislation? Should there be a framework to assess whether practices protect or preserve?
