Starting from the concept of sustainability in fashion, the aim of our research is to analyse to what extent the Zara Join Life collection is sustainable, environmentally friendly (as advertised), and transparent, in terms of the information provided to the consumer, in order to offer Zara’s fashion consumers a set of aspects to take into account when intending to buy responsibly, such as the composition of the product, the percentage of recyclable materials used, its origin, etc. Our practical goal is to generate a gradual change in Zara consumers’ behaviour by creating a set of basic skills to transform one from a fast, superficial consumer into a slow, conscious customer with decision-making power. We analysed the Zara Join Life collection, which is advertised on the company’s website as supporting sustainability as a continuous project. The methodology consisted of a documentation-learning stage in order to reach the stages of data collection, data processing, and information organization—the methods used for the analysis of fashion consumers’ behaviours. The analysis was conducted on 40 Zara Join Life collection garments (10 women’s clothing items, 10 men’s clothing items, and 20 garments for kids, both girls and boys) sold online on Zara’s website. The collected research data were analysed and interpreted within the case study.

The present paper proposes a fractal-like approach to the parametric flow problem, derived from the rules and recursion of generative linguistics. In the same manner in which any sentence can be analysed in terms of "theme" of the sentence (that which is spoken about in the sentence) and "rheme" of the sentence (that which is said about the theme in the sentence), in the proposed parametric preflow-push algorithm, a "partitioning push" (a non-cancelling push of flow in the parametric residual network) might leave the node unbalanced for only a subinterval of the range of parameter values. This will lead to separating the problem for the two disjoints subintervals, which allows the algorithm to continue after the same rules, independently, on each of the partitioned subintervals. The algorithm runs as the template-like structure of a dialogue act which reveals a design where information about the items (part-of-speech) is a two sections vector with one segment for each of the used part of speech categories. The article also proposes a possible application of the algorithm in assessing legal information and in semantic evaluation of legislation.

Artificial intelligence and its development continue to be hot topics nowadays due to the continuous challenges that they involve. While many are fascinated by AI’s accelerated pace of development and embrace the new technologies wholeheartedly, others seem to be more resistant and reluctant and tend to concentrate mainly on its disadvantages. This article deals with the challenges faced by the European workforce field in the context of the increasing developments of AI.

This article proposes an analysis of the special guardianship, a measure of protection of the major, recently introduced in the Civil Code, following the changes made under Law no. 140/2022 regarding some protection measures for persons with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities and the modification and completion of some normative acts. The analysis concerns the internal regulations in the matter, by comparison with the regulation of this institution in the French legislation.

The mechanism of the surrender of wanted persons on the territory of the Europen Union experienced a natural evolution over time with the construction of European integration and the development of the area of freedom, security and justice. Starting from the traditional difficult extradition procedures in which the political factor was decisive, it was now established a judicial procedure under the jurisdiction of independent and impartial courts, in which only legal criteria are intended to be applicable, with the total exclusion of political decision-makers. Given that the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) is based on mutual trust between the judicial authorities of the member states, it works in the vast majority of cases. However, the principle of mutual trust between member states is not an absolute one and has encountered some limitations, allowing the refusal to execute the European arrest warrant in certain situations, in which the concrete violation of the right to a fair trial or the suffering of degrading and inhumane treatments would be found.
