Application of fluid dynamics in modeling the spatial spread of infectious diseases with low mortality rate: A study using MUSCL scheme by Nnaji Daniel Ugochukwu, Kiogora Phineas Roy, Onah Ifeanyi Sunday, Mung’atu Joseph, Aguegboh Nnaemeka Stanley

“…The Monotone Upwind Scheme for Conservation Laws is employed to enhance the accuracy of numerical solutions, providing a high-resolution approach for capturing disease transmission patterns. The model’s analogy between fluid flow and epidemic propagation reveals critical insights into how diseases disperse geographically, influenced by factors like human mobility and environmental conditions. …”

The Current Discussion on Austrian Family Benefits – Indicating a Major Dissensus on the Interpretation of EU Law by Alexander Balthasar

“… In early 2018, Austria amended its family benefits law by introducing ‘indexation’ according to the average living costs of the country where the child actually resides. What seems to be, at first sight, a flagrant breach of EU law (in particular of Article 7 of Regulation [EC] 883/2004) is, when looking deeper, much more complicated and might very well be only a symptom of deeply rooted differences in the interpretation of current, post-Lisbon Union law, (i)        in particular with regard to the relationship between the traditional prohibition of “discrimination on grounds of nationality” (Article 18 TFEU, Article 21(2) CFR; the  ‘Leitmotiv’ of the Treaties) and the “citizenship of the Union” (Article 9 second sentence TEU, Article 20(1), first and second sentence) on the one hand and the further role of the “nationality of a Member State” on the other, which shall, pursuant to Article 9 TEU, third sentence, as well as Article 20(1) TFEU, third sentence, not be replaced by the “citizenship of the Union”, (ii)       but also with regard to Article 352 TFEU, the scope of which is, most probably, much smaller than that of its predecessor, Article 308 TEC, (iii)      and last but not least, with regard to a proper understanding of the principle of equal treatment, requiring not to treat alike factually different situations. …”
