Esterification of Oleic Acid for Biodiesel Production Using a Semibatch Atomization Apparatus by Marcell S. Deus, Katherine C. O. Deus, Daniel S. Lira, Jackson A. Oliveira, Carlos E. A. Padilha, Domingos F. S. Souza

“…The highest conversion of oleic acid (86.7%) was obtained under the following reaction conditions: temperature of 343 K, atomization pressure of 150 kPa, oleic acid flow rate equal to 1.3 g/min using 0.7% sulfuric acid (mol of sulfuric acid/mol of oleic acid), and 2 h of reaction time. The simulations showed that esterification is governed by temperature, but it is possible to observe that the atomization pressure affects more conversion of oleic acid under a low temperature (<323 K).…”

Special International Tribunal on the investigation of the russian aggression against Ukraine: legal analysis, international jurisdiction and challenges by A. V. Voitsikhovskyi, O. S. Bakumov

“…It has been noted that the establishment of a Special International Tribunal to investigate the crime of russian aggression against Ukraine should become an effective mechanism for investigating and documenting violations of International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law committed by russia on the territory of Ukraine with the identification of those responsible; compensation for victims and restoration of justice for the Ukrainian people from russia's full-scale armed attack; deterrence of aggressive and destabilising actions of the russian federation, which violates the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. At the same time, the establishment of a Special Tribunal will have an impact on preventing the recurrence of such crimes, impunity and setting a precedent for similar situations in the future; it will also play an important role in strengthening international law and norms, especially in the context of armed conflicts and aggression between states; as well as it will contribute to the restoration of confidence and stability in the region and around the world, and demonstrate the solidarity of the international community with Ukraine in its struggle to restore its sovereignty and territorial integrity.…”
