No full textWar crimes and the downing of Malaysian airliner MH-17
Full text linkThe downing of Malaysian Airliner MH 17 is not the first incident of shooting down a civilian airliner. There are several other cases where civilian aeroplanes carrying passengers were shot down. The case of MH 17 is a recent incident that attracts condemnation from the international community. MH 17 was shot down within the territorial air space of Ukraine, an area under the control of the separatists who are fighting against the government of Ukraine. It was alleged that the airliner was downed by the separatists who are enjoying the support of the Russian government. The same accusation is levied against the Ukrainian government. Thus, this article examines the shooting down of the Malaysian airliner MH 17 and determines who should be responsible for the heinous crime. It examines whether the conflict in Ukraine amounts to an international armed conflict under international humanitarian law (IHL) which can be linked with the downing of MH 17. The article further examines the probable responsibility and jurisdictional problems to be faced in prosecuting the crime of shooting down MH 17 and the possible claims for compensation to the victims’ family. The article posits that the situation in Ukraine is indeed an armed conflict and the shooting down of Malaysian airliner MH 17 constitutes a war crime of targeting civilians as envisaged under the Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The jurisdictional problems in prosecution of the crime may be addressed by invoking universal jurisdiction. It is recommended that an international criminal investigation should be launched on the downing of MH 17 in order to find the culprits responsible for the crime for the purpose of subsequent prosecution for war crimes and compensation claims
Online marketing strategy for the company MH genealogy
No full textThe diploma thesis examines methods for increasing traffic and accomplish the goals of MH Genealogy in the digital environment. The aim of the diploma thesis is to design an online marketing strategy with a reflection of current trends for the company MH Genealogy. The strategy is achieved by creating and using a set of analyzes that identify the weaknesses of the website and the current strategy of the company. Especially the website of the company rodokmenyprovas.cz has very weak points in the search engine optimization and it is this discipline that is given the most attention. The output is a strategy that meets the needs of the company, meets the partial goals that were set during the thesis and respects the STDC application framework. The benefit of this work is its current replicability to small companies.Diplomová práce zkoumá metody pro zvýšení návštěvnosti a splnění cílů společnosti MH Genealogie v digitálním prostředí. Cílem diplomové práce je navržení online marketingové strategie s reflexí současných trendů pro firmu MH Genealogie. Návrhu je dosaženo vytvořením a využitím sady analýz, které identifikují slabá místa webu a současné strategie společnosti. Zejména v oblasti optimalizace nalezitelnosti má internetová stránka firmy rodokmenyprovas.cz velmi slabá místa, a právě této disciplíně je věnováno nejvíce pozornosti. Výstupem je strategie, která naplňuje potřeby společnosti, splňuje dílčí cíle, které byli stanoveny v průběhu diplomové práce a respektuje aplikační rámec STDC. Přínosem této práce je její aktuální replikovatelnost na subjekty menšího rozsahu
Non-alloy Mg anode for Ni-MH batteries: Multiple approaches towards a stable cycling performance
No full textMg attracts much research interest as anode material for Ni-MH batteries thanks to its lightweight, cost-effectiveness and high theoretical capacity (2200 mA h g−1). However, its practical application is tremendously challenged by the poor hydrogen sorption kinetics, passivation from aggressive aqueous electrolytes, and insulating nature of MgH2. Mg-based alloys exhibit enhanced hydrogen sorption kinetics and electrical conductivity, but significant amount of costly transition metal elements are required. In this work, we have, for the first time, utilized non-alloyed but catalyzed Mg as anode for Ni-MH batteries. 5 mol.% TiF3 was added to nanosized Mg for accelerating the hydrogen sorption kinetics. Several strategies for preventing the problematic passivation of Mg have been studied, including protective encapsulation of the electrode and utilizing room-temperature/high-temperature ionic liquids and an alkaline polymer membrane as working electrolyte. Promising electrochemical performance has been achieved in this Mg–TiF3 composite anode based Ni-MH batteries with room for further improvements.</p
