The consequences of Brexit on existing and future commercial contracts

In this article Dr Muriel Renaudin (Lecturer in Law, School of Law and Politics, Cardiff University) argues that given that English contract law as a whole has predominantly remained untouched by European legislation, a continued membership in current trade agreements will avoid the uncertainties created by Brexit and will ensure that principles of commercial law such as predictability, security and low costs are maintained.

Legal form and independence of specialist regulators: the case of the Oil and Gas authority

In this paper based on a presentation given at an IALS lunchtime seminar, Professorial Fellow and former Director of the Institute Terence Daintith explores the form, governance and remit of the Oil and Gas authority. As this legal form had never before been used for a specialist regulator in the UK, he suggests it is worth asking:
 
 why this was done;
 what government companies normally do;
 what were the closest precedents;
 what were the effects of the choice in relation to the control, accountability, and independence of the regulator; and
 what might be the implications for the future.

A semantic graph-based keyword extraction model using ranking method on big social data

Identification of an influential node is essential to control Online Social Networks. It is a crucial task with various kinds of real-time usages such as information retrieval and recommendation, instinctive keyword indexing, viral marketing, instinctive classification, and filtering. Existing graph-based methods consider only numeric measures such as centrality, degree, and betweenness for keyword extraction. In this research, a relatively effective method called Semantic graph-based Keyword Extraction Method (SKEM) from Twitter using ranking methods is proposed. In the proposed model, the exhaustive preprocessing is carried out, and a semantic graph-based model has been constructed. The numeric graph metrics are then used to weigh the nodes of the semantic graph. Page Rank algorithm is applied to arrange the nodes, and the top ten nodes that are found to be very relevant and effectively represent the most influential node. Combining both semantic as well as numeric graph metrics, it greatly enhances the quality of keywords extracted. The extensive preprocessing enhances the quality of the input and minimizes the noise in the input. The keywords extracted by the proposed model have been more relevant and meaningful. The performance of the proposed SKEM model is validated with real-time tweets of Twitter API. The experimental results are confirmed that the proposed method is achieving high performance in terms of precision, recall, and F-measure.

Panorama da produção científica da gestão por competências na administração pública brasileira (2008 a 2018)

Objective: to analyze the panorama of Brazilian scientific research on Competency-based Management (CBM) in Public Administration for the last decade, covering the period from 2008 to April 2018, from the characteristics of the publications, methodological aspects, the stages investigated and the main benefits and difficulties identified in the studies. Method: through an integrative review of Brazilian scientific literature, 26 predefined variables were identified and analyzed, based in 82 articles published in conferences and journals, using descriptive statistics and thematic categorical content analysis. Originality/relevance: the results from last decade papers were consolidated, differentiating by the scope of publications, quantitative of analyzed variables and inclusion of qualitative data. Results: University of Brasilia is the institution with the largest number of authors in the period analyzed. Most studies were empirical, cross-sectional, descriptive, qualitative, with interviews and content analysis, in federal and executive organizations. Fragilities were observed in the methodological records and keyword indexing. Competence diagnosis was the main stage studied. Benefits refer to organizational and individual improvements. The main difficulties concern methodological and conceptual aspects, and the absence of organizational support, which is fundamental to competency-based management adoption and implantation, in order to obtain advantages oriented to the good governance of human resource management. Contributions: a research agenda is suggested to contribute to the quality and methodological rigor of future investigations. Furthermore, the results contribute to public organizations regarding the development and implementation of competency-based management with quality and permanence of the model, enabling the improvement of service delivery to society and to the public servants.

Bibliometric analysis of cardiometabolic disorders studies involving NO2, PM2.5 and noise exposure

BackgroundThis study uses bibliometric analysis to describe the state of research about the association of NO2, PM2.5 and noise exposures – three traffic-related pollutants – with cardiometabolic disorders.MethodsWe retrieved references published 1994–2017 from Scopus and classified references with respect to exposure, health outcome and study design using index keywords. Temporal trend, top cited references, used index keywords and the number of hypothesis testing and non-hypothesis testing study design for each group were identified.ResultsResults show PM2.5 is the most frequently studied exposure (47%), followed by both NO2 and PM2.5 exposure (29%). Only 3% of references considered multiple exposures between NO2 and/or PM2.5 and noise, and these were published after 2008. While we observed a growing trend in studies with NO2 and/or PM2.5 and noise and diabetes in the last decade, there is a diminishing trend in studies with noise and diabetes. Different patterns of study designs were found through H/NH ratio, the number of references classified as having a hypothesis (H)-testing design relative to the number of references classified as having a non-hypothesis (NH)-testing design. Studies with NO2 and/or PM2.5 exposure are more likely to have a H-testing design, while those with noise exposure are more likely to have a NH-testing design, such as cross-sectional study design.ConclusionsWe conclude with three themes about research trends. First, the study of simultaneous exposures to multiple pollutants is a current trend, and likely to continue. Second, the association between traffic-related pollutants and diabetes and metabolic symptoms is an area for growth in research. Third, the transition to the use of H-testing study designs to explore associations between noise and cardiometabolic outcomes may be supported by improved understanding of the mechanism of action, and/or improvements to the accuracy and precision of air pollution and noise exposure assessments for environmental health research.
