The growth of social media has led to an unprecedented rise in financial influencers, so- called finfluencers, who share investment ideas and opinions with a global audience. Finfluencers have various business models, from endorsing products to advertising their mutual funds. Retail investors are particularly vulnerable to the risks posed by financial influencers because most lack financial literacy, according to a UK Financial Conduct Authority study from 2021. Additionally, the power dynamic inherent in the influencer- follower relationship can also increase consumers’ susceptibility, particularly through one- sided parasocial relationships. Parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships where one person extends emotional energy and interest towards the financial influencer, who may be completely unaware of the follower’s existence. Such relationships can lead to a higher level of trust, credibility, and reliance on the advice and recommendations of financial influencers, even if they are not qualified or licensed to provide financial advice. This can be particularly dangerous for retail investors with low levels of financial literacy, who may be more vulnerable to the risks posed by finfluencers. Thus, the current regulatory framework may not be adequate to protect consumers from the potential harms of financial influencers. This Article starts by briefly examining the current regulatory framework for financial influencers (based on Pflücke 2020 and 2022), including how the EU and five platforms govern it. It then proceeds by critically analysing and proposing targeted and actionable policy considerations to increase fairness and transparency on social media platforms. The Article argues that the current approach is neither evidence-based nor tailored to the activities and potential harms of financial influencers, requiring radical reforms to protect consumers and capital markets.

This introduction provides the reader with a general characterization of the 39 Mixed Arbitral Tribunals (MATs) created by the 1919-1923 peace treaties to address disputes between private persons and between private persons and states as a result of the First World War. Noting that the rich literature published on the MATs was followed by near-silence after 1945, it mentions the numerous questions that they still raise today, before explaining how the various contributions to the book edited by the authors address them.

This article focuses on a historical overview, criticism of solfège teaching and more accomplishable approaches to music education. When Guido of Arezzo came up with the invention of the line system and derived tone syllables from the first letters of St John's hymn just under a millennium ago, he laid the foundation for a new approach to musical education: he replaced stubborn memorisation of (church) chants with a learnable, mechanical reading technique. He probably could not have foreseen that after almost a thousand years, 'his' idea would still be relevant. This article is based on several lectures and previous publications. It is intended to show the extent to which Solfège is situated in terms of music aesthetics on the one hand. However, on the other hand, this method of mechanical readability, when it is applied without any claim to music aesthetics, is increasingly causing headaches for music educators. Two years ago, the Kodály concept was recognised as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. This mainly brought the preservation of the diverse Hungarian folk music heritage into focus and only secondarily the pedagogical idea associated with it. It should not be forgotten that the latter is based on Guido von Arezzo's predecessor concept and would be inconceivable without it. As a logical consequence, the Solfège should also be included in the list of intangible cultural assets. Its influence is based on a musical pedagogical concept that is more than a thousand years old and still has a decisive effect on musical education in many European countries. The Solfège system is not without controversy, but where is it written that an intangible cultural property must be based on consensus on content? Is not the discourse of musicology or music education the salt in the soup that could stimulate the discussion about the inclusion of cultural property in the UNESCO List [less ▲]

Negotiating the aesthetics of mourning in Luxembourg: on pre-modern forms in post-modern spaces

Comparative studies on funeral cultures are mainly concerned with differences related to religious diversity. On Luxembourgish cemeteries, religious differences have been, until recently, largely irrelevant. An explanation for this can be found in the country’s immigration policy that was based on the principle that religious conformity, i.e. adherence to Roman Catholicism, be a condition for immigration. This did not prevent the country’s urban cemeteries from becoming representations of a culturally diverse immigration society. The paper concentrates on the funeral culture of Cape Verdean migrants, which is characterized by collective ritual mourning and puts into question conventional distinctions of public/private and sacred/mundane spaces. By analyzing various aspects of the negotiation of funeral aesthetics – the materiality of the grave, the expressive modes of mourning, and the social encounters involved – the author makes a plea for a more encompassing understanding of the notion of ‘deathscape’ that transcends fundamental dimensions of the modern functional differentiation of space.

Dans de remarquables travaux consacrés à l’œuvre complète d’Andreï Makine / Gabriel Osmonde (2019)1 qui l’ont, entre autres, amenée à forger le concept inédit de transbiographie dans une approche cognitive de la littérature, Diana Mistreanu montre de manière convaincante l’influence déterminante que peut avoir un trauma vécu par un auteur sur le processus de sa propre écriture. Il m’est apparu nettement qu’un parallèle pouvait être établi entre ce qui fonde l’œuvre d’Andreï Makine / Gabriel Osmonde et ce qui homogénéise celle de Jean Rouaud, lui aussi victime d’un profond trauma qui ne cesse de s’actualiser sous forme d’avatars, au cours de trente années d’écriture. D’un point de vue générique, les deux premiers cycles de création littéraire roualdienne sont inclassables : ils ne sont ni autobiographiques, ni autofictionnels, quoiqu’ils donnent à voir des indices qui permettraient de rattacher les textes de la période 1990-2010 à ces deux catégories. Ils faut attendre 2014 et le volume 3 de La Vie poétique pour voir apparaître le terme autobiographie dans la phrase incipit d’*Un peu la guerre*. Or l’étude des œuvres antérieures en relation avec le troisième cycle d’écriture me pousse à remettre en cause la qualification d’autobiographie au sens (devenu classique) du terme tel que l’explicite Lejeune. Par conséquent, mon analyse se fondera sur une approche cognitive, étayée notamment par les travaux de Martin Conway et ceux de Romain Coutelle, afin de tenter de comprendre de quelle manière a pu se constituer la mémoire autobiographique de Jean Rouaud.

In the last decade, a sharp surge in the number of user proximity wireless devices (UPWDs) has been observed. This has increased the level of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure of the users substantially and hence, the possible physiological effects. Ambient backscatter communications (ABC) has appeared to be a promising solution to reduce the power consumption of UPWDs by converting ambient radio frequency (RF) signals into useful signals while non‐orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a compelling multiplexing scheme for enhanced spectral efficiency. This chapter utilizes a novel combination of ABC and NOMA to reduce the EMF in the uplink of wireless communication systems. This contemporary approach of EMF‐aware resource optimization is based on k‐medoids and Silhouette analysis. To curtail the uplink EMF, a power allocation strategy is also derived by converting a non‐convex problem to a convex one and solving accordingly. The numerical results exhibit that the proposed ABC, NOMA, and unsupervised learning based scheme achieves a reduction in the EMF by at least 75% in comparison with the existing solutions. [less ▲]

La monnaie est le reflet du système des relations sociales des sociétés transactionnelles. Elle en porte les valeurs, en promeut les objectifs. Les traités européens fondent un processus d’union sans cesse plus étroite entre les peuples européens. L’Union a pour but de promouvoir la paix. Créée en 1999, la monnaie unique européenne, l’euro, contribue à ce rapprochement entre les peuples en composant une communauté monétaire. Elle met fin à l’état d’anarchie entre monnaies européennes, elle garantit la justice entre les utilisateurs de l’euro, par sa nature dénationalisée et sa stabilité. Cependant, la malingrerie des arrangements institutionnels gouvernant la projection externe du pouvoir monétaire européen confère à celui-ci un rôle modeste dans la préservation de la paix dans l’ordre monétaire international bouleversé par l’émergence des « monnaies » virtuelles.

Launched as a tool of participatory democracy, the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) raised great hopes to make the Union more accessible. However from the very beginning, the procedures and conditions of the ECI have been beset with problems. Its early years are characterized by the struggle to determine the registration requirements to be fulfilled by organizers. With the recent legislative revision of Regulation No 211/2011 and the CJEU’s jurisprudence, these requirements have become more lenient - leading to an increase in registered ECIs. In recent years, it is exactly this increase that has reinforced the ultimate question of the citizens’ initiative - which actions must or should the Commission take subsequent to a successfully submitted initiative. In an attempt to contribute to the discussion, the present chapter analyses both the legislative framework in this regard as well as the Court’s interpretation thereof. It shows that the ECI in terms of its outcome is currently caught between a dominant Commission defending its holy grail of the right of initiative, and a Court, which so far has shown little activism to grant anything more than a reasoned opinion to organizers of a successful ECI. With the ongoing political debate and the call to elevate a successful ECI to a right to trigger the process of adopting Union acts, the pressure on the legislature is increasing. It is in this context that this chapter reflects on potential ways forward, their effectiveness in terms of concluding the debate, and the likeliness of being politically accepted. [less ▲]

Sepulchral culture-science requires detailed fieldwork, focusing on minutiae and spatial attributes, yielding cumbersomely large data sets. For a study on material cultures in the Luxembourg region’s spaces of remembrance, we developed the Cemetery Surveyor Application (CSA) and Web Cemetery Surveyor (WCA) for Android devices and desktop computers respectively, aiming to streamline diverse data collection methodologies. The multi-platform applications provide varying affordances, benefits and limitations. The android application, operating off-line, allows the association of photographs to grave features directly, while the desktop version, accessed online, allows simultaneous collaboration. This paper describes how the tools responded to a need, their development and design process, the justifications for their operations, strengths, weaknesses, and makes recommendations for future implementations.

The year 2019 ushered in the end of an era for the European Central Bank when Mario Draghi stepped down as ECB President. The financial crisis left a legacy of central banks as “the only game in town”. The COVID-19 pandemic reinforced the role of central banks as critical firefighters during crises, in contrast to earlier periods. This contribution examines the evolution of central banking in Europe. First, it evaluates the ideational shifts that allowed for a more expansive interpretation of the role of a central bank. Second, it looks at the ECB’s response to the Covid-19 crisis and assesses the underlying reasons why the use of the bank’s balance sheet is here to stay. Third, it looks at these issues in a comparative perspective, contrasting the issues and policy responses faced by the ECB to those of the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve. The final section concludes. [less ▲]

This chapter presents a broad overview about the essential aspects of learning and teaching geropsychology in tertiary education. After an introduction to the scope of geropsychology and the need for geropsychology education, the objectives and basic principles of geropsychology curricula are discussed. Their overall goal is to qualify students and/or professionals to understand and solve psychological aspects of problems of older people in the contexts of practical application, research, and teaching. Specific teaching and learning objectives in geropsychology are described in terms of underlying content dimensions (e.g., areas of acting, functioning, and development of older people; basic components of practical geropsychological acting; target groups and settings) and levels of competency to be acquired (e.g., uni-, multi-structural, relational, and extended abstract level). This is followed by an overview of the core topics of geropsychology. These refer to theoretical (e.g., basic concepts of age, aging and the elderly; action competence of older people; challenges in later life; resources for adaptation; problems of people providing services to older adults), normative (ethical and legal) and methodological foundations (research, assessment, evaluation and intervention methods). This is followed by sections on linking main learning objectives and core topics of geropsychology to courses within study programs (psychological or non-psychological) and about the relations between teaching, learning, and assessment in geropsychology. The chapter concludes with information about resources for these issues including relevant URL links, tips for teaching and annotated references to further reading. [less ▲]

Numerous studies and handbooks in the history of education are devoted to the history of educational media and the evolution of educational technologies. This chapter puts an explicit focus on the implications and conceptual background of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization´s (UNESCO) technology-driven idea of education, which already took shape before the 1957 Sputnik shock. Eager to establish strong bonds between mass communication and education, UNESCO by the late 1940s had already begun to set up a powerful internal apparatus for media policy which soon closely collaborated with its Education Division. From the late 1970s, UNESCO set out to establish a New World Information and Communication Order to further stabilize its global role in education and media policies. This chapter posits that textbooks, radio, TV, film, and computers were serving as interconnected elements of UNESCO’s educational mission. By looking at these specific technological ecologies of education, I connect research into the history of education with research into UNESCO´s media policies. This conceptual history approach demonstrates that education is not only based on ethical norms, teaching, and learning but is also connected to technological properties that offer access to knowledge and its acquisition. In addition, and when studying UNESCO, it becomes evident that the organization´s education-technology-nexus is also very much connected with the media and publishing industries. [less ▲]

Frequenz ist ein vielbeachteter Faktor, wenn es darum geht, zu erklären, warum manche Wörter und Teilbereiche von Wörtern eher fehleranfälliger sind als andere. In regelhaften Bereichen der Orthographie haben viele Studien zudem gezeigt, dass Frequenz einen größeren Einfluss auf Richtigschreibungen haben könnte als regelbasiertes Lernen. Der vorliegende Beitrag nimmt dies zum Ausgangspunkt und untersucht, ob der Faktor der Wortfrequenz in der satzinternen Großschreibung eine Rolle spielt. Die Arbeit umfasst zwei Forschungsfragen: (1) Sagt die Wortfrequenz von Nomen deren Großschreibung voraus, wenn man Konkretheit kontrolliert? und (2) Sagt die Frequenz von Verben und Adjektiven in Bezug auf die Frequenz der entsprechenden Nominalisierungen die Großschreibung letzterer voraus? Für die Untersuchung wurde die Großschreibung von 185 luxemburgischen Fünftklässler:innen in Lücken- und Satzdiktaten analysiert. Die Frequenz wurde aufgrund von drei Korpora berechnet. Die Regressionsanalysen zeigen das frequente Nomen eher großgeschrieben werden als seltene Nomen. Allerdings verschwindet dieser Effekt, wenn der lexikalisch-semantische Typ (Konkreta, Abstrakta, Nominalisierungen) in die Analysen einbezogen wird. Der ausschlaggebende Faktor für die Großschreibung in dieser Studie war schließlich Konkretheit, nicht Frequenz. [less ▲]

Luxembourg recorded a comparatively high number of infections during the first wave of the Covid-19 crisis. The health system nevertheless remained fully functional as additional Covid centres were set up throughout the country for the detection and treatment of less severe cases. A hard lockdown was imposed to cope with the first wave. Crisis management remained a depoliticized issue as the political parties and civil society more generally united behind the efforts to combat the pandemic. After the first wave, crisis management became more politicized, as the opposition complained about a lack of genuine consultation and as some civil society groups were disappointed by a late and lukewarm response to the second wave. Overall, crisis management was most successful when it combined authority with clear rules and good communication, but became less effective when rules became more complex. [less ▲]

Many EU instruments are related to other EU instruments. They can for instance reform an existing EU instrument to improve it or adapt it to new realities. The obvious example is a regulation recasting an existing regulation, such as the Brussels I Regulation Recast. New EU instruments can also supplement existing regulations, by adding rules to govern a matter which was excluded from the scope of an existing regulation. This is the case, for instance, of the Insolvency Regulation or the Succession Regulation, which have supplemented the Brussels I Regulation. The issue of divergence between the linguistic versions of related EU norms should be addressed both ex ante, at the stage of the translation process, and ex post, at the stage of the resolution of the divergence by lawyers.
